In a dark computer lab, a strikeforce of elves in sleek, futuristic military garb overturn furniture, jack into hardware, and rummage through paper records—searching for any clue or shred of data which might be of help in their corporate espionage scheme. In a warmly-lit pub in the grimy part...

Can we get a summary in the OP?

Forgiveness isn't healthy for everyone. For people with a history of being victims of abuse, distance is better. So no, it isn't the time for forgiveness and re-onboarding. For some of us, it's time to pivot to CC and rebuild our community.

According to the SRD, what is a slaad? According to the SRD, what is a mind flayer? According to the SRD, who is Strad von Zorrovich? It seems to me that, for the non-trademarked terms, we would be free to provide those answers? Slaads are obviously evil salads (also aberrations). A mind...

Don't forget the new MTG set. Phyrexia: All will be One D&D

Different people have different definitions of compatibility. Tiny variations in rules re-writes can raise serious compatibility questions. Large rule overhauls all the more so. Consider Level Up: A5E. We already have an extant 5e-spinoff system. Can and will Black Flag and C7d20 create...

Point well taken, but don't @ me about it. I did not introduce the word to the conversation.

And for the community, this video is mandatory viewing.

That was my impression this entire thread.

Also, this is not true. Supposing that one did move over straight to the new OGL, the OGL in the leaked documents does away with the concept of "open gaming content." As you probably know, open gaming content is a repository of gaming information that began with the 3.0 SRD, and has been built...

I think you're missing a very important detail here. People weren't falling over themselves to join the OGL at the time of its release. To make joining the OGL persuasive, it was advertised, and they promised, to be permanently free and irrevocable. That was one of the terms of the contract. And...

This is the real real. Thank you for saying all that.

I think you are right about this. That said, I think @talien is doing right by the community to offer a generous analysis. We can see the value of this because we can see the statement is only barely acceptable using the most conservative, generous interpretation. (By any other measure they are...
