    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    As I said, I failed to notice the other page that explains a lot of the similar info.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    My bad, I thought the section on firearms ended on p267, didn't see it followed on the second page afterwards. But no I was referring to the Fighter (Gunslinger) page that came out end '15 / begin '16

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    I'm talking about the entire roster of weapons, as well as certain feats that supports firearms, and additive sets of rules and interactions related to Firearms. The DMG only 'very openly, shortly and vaguely' talks about firearms, for a narrative on 'what ammunition', and 'shoot X times before...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    As for the artist, Google; "Strixhaven Crux of Fate stolen art". You'll find that no legal action was it could be taken, only a terminations over immorality. As for UA and 4th edition, this literally was mentioned in the posts right above you? But for an example; Firearms weapons + feat Support...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    Yes and no. The OGL protects you from takedowns like that, as they give you permission to share and use their stuff (unless you break those the terms). They're also not saying anywhere "this is mine now". They're saying; "it's yours, but you've given us permission to use and share it." Whether...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    They've also done this in 4th Edition, as well as on the MtG side in terms of Artwork for their cards.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    Shrug It's been there for a very long time. Two years ago it was brought to attention a lot when some players in the MtG community noticed that some fan-art was used in a newly released card. The community was outraged and the artist was temporarily suspended for not coordinating this decision...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    Hi! Thanks for your patience on explaining this. Yes, I fully understand now that, when making Derivative Works, you are allowed to copy-right the Changes that you make from said work (but not the content that you've drawn the source material of). So in that regard, I do see the point where...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    The Original Post says; - both the original work and any Derivative Works of it are protected by the same copyright And - you can't copyright I'll have to read on that tomorrow. 2 am is late enough.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    Except it's not an Original Work if it's based or derived off another work. That's where the pitfall is.

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    It doesn't matter. I'm just asking you to not jump the gun pointing fingers about purposely ignoring something when I wasn't even replying to the something you say I ignored. Accusing someone out of the blue is simply rude, and I'm not sure why politely and calmly explaining my boundaries takes...

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    Completely unrelated at this point. I simply and politely ask you not to jump the gun to me like that. Do you understand me?

    Has anyone cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription as a protests over the OGL?

    Can't cancel something I never had. Roll20 has been perfect enough to host and play D&D on.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    I'm astounded that right as they start to explain the definitions, he just simply takes 'Work' as definition, and not 'Original Work'//'Derivative Work', both of which have very important differences here. Original Works can be protected by copyright, while Derivative Works cannot.

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    Just because I didn't comment on one part of the post doesn't mean I missed it, let alone intentionally. I agree that it is important, sure, but heading off that remark/reminder with an instant jump to accusations is just uncalled for and completely unnecessarily provocative.

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    A month is a fairly common ahead notice. The business standard for changes to contract or terms has been 4 weeks (28 days) for quite a long time.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    Thanks for posting this. Like, god, so many people I talk to about this just completely fail to understand that FanMade works and SRD's are Derivative Works, not Original Works, and thus where Copyright Laws work COMPLETELY differently than your bone-dry "I made this, so it's mine."

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    Don't see a reason to jump ship from 5e. But if I would, I'd probably develop my own TTARPG framework.

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    To be fair, that's just conjecture. There's no perceiveable way to "know" that. We only know that anyone that does make 50k-750k a year will need to provide transparancy on their revenue. Whatever ill intent non-officials think WOTC would have with this info, is simply doomspeak. Which doesn't...
