    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    Yes, it isn't strictly true, that's why I had essentially. But for the VAST majority of publishers trying to figure out HOW to differentiate it in a published work (pdf, book, etc.) is going to take more time than they want, especially if they are a first time publisher.

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    The problem with CC-BY is that it is essentially all or nothing for a specific document. Each publisher would essentially have to make two documents (if they had IP they wanted to protect, like a setting, town, characters, etc). It's not really a good fit for the TTRPG industry. The difference...

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    By definition, the ORC makes EVERYTHING that isn't specific IP or lore info open. so I wouldn't use the word "locked" other than that anything that uses BF inherently requires you make yours open also.

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    I don't "think" any of MCDM's 5e releases that have used the CC-BY have released anything new into the open, but I don't have access to my PDF's at the moment.

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    I added a bit to my post as you were replying to it, I was just going off your original thoughts post. Once I purchased it and re-read the source, then the AON entry, and then the OGL, & ORC a couple of times. To combine both OGC and ORC is pretty tricky to my understanding of both licenses. You...

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    The description in your post on that source is... wow they do NOT understand how the licenses work. Edit: I wanted to see the source itself so purchased it. And looking through it I came to the same conclusion you did from your post, the sticking point may be just the name. It looks like they...

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    Note: I am not a lawyer, more importantly I am not YOUR lawyer (the your in this case is the general reference of anyone that is reading my post) OGC material that is licensed under the OGL, can NOT be used in the ORC, under any circumstances. The licenses are completely incompatible. If you...

    And they didn't forget about Eldritch Blast like they did the first 5e SRD. :D

    Worlds Largest Dungeon Holds 'Secret Doors' Contest

    I'm wondering if the copyright of all the previous material isn't known which would lead to them needing replacement material? Or that they don't have full rights to the previous material per contracts? Also, when did this company buy most of AEG's RPG line?

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Plus it's also shown that the current home based mfr's will almost always increase their product price to a smaller portion of what ever the tariff is at.

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    Last I checked RPG books are classified as "games" not "fiction or non-fiction books" so that may not be the case. And that is going to rely on the custom inspector knowing the difference.

    Project Sigil 90% Of D&D’s Project Sigil Team Laid Off

    Interesting, better numbers than FG, but they are skewed by being able to run FG without Steam, and a lot of the longtime players bought it before it was on Steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1196310/charts/#max

    WotC 5E Designer Mike Mearls Talks About The OGL Crisis

    One shouldn't start a "request for feedback" with "As soon as this is released I will burn your house down and shoot your cat".

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I'm now imagining a Bugs Bunnyesque routine where Snarf plays the judge during the jury selection, then quick camera cut to her as the potential juror answering the questions, and then back to her on the bench, then to the confused attorneys, then back to her as the juror... :)

    Evil Genius Games Attempts To Remove Bad Press [Update--And Then Adds Legal Threats!]

    The certainty of the firms of Legal Law, and Illegal Law are at least better than the uncertainty of the firms of Semi-Legal Law, and Grey Law though. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
