Critical Role A key part of Linda Codegas Critical Role Interview

[darjr]

Note they are aiming to drop this tomorrow

 

[darjr]

Linda says Williams isn’t involved in this at all. She’s doing A tier executive stuff not this OGL stuff.

Why is it needed?

Generally when one makes an assertion it's a good idea to have some evidence.

Otherwise we could just make silly statements like "hawkeyefan is an alien" and pretend they're not silly.

Oh! Linda didn’t answer the Alta Fox Question

Sorry, I don’t think I was clear.

Why is the ORC needed? What is it meant to do that other similar agreements couldn’t do?

 

[DMZ2112]

Now I'm not a native speaker so maybe I'm understanding it wrong, but isn't grandiose a rather negative term? Kinda like something that has a lot of pomp but not because it deserves to have it, but is big only to have an air of greatness?

Your understanding is good.

As a native speaker, English scholar, and non-fan of Critical Role or Matt Mercer, if someone called a direction or step I cared about "grandiose," I'd kick them in the fork.

According to Codega's interview with Roll for Combat, she asked a question about "contracts", Matt and Marisha looked kind of confused for a second, and the PR person stated they wouldn't be answering that question.

I expect it's going to be written to easily slot in where publishers had been using the OGL with as little muss and fuss as possible now that the existence of the OGL is threatened. Other, similar agreements might provide the same kind of rights and coverage... or they might not and I might not have the time or money to do the research myself. I would expect a license like ORC, written specifically to replace the OGL, to do so.

Yeah. NDA and/or non-disparagement clause.

 

[Haplo781]

Yeah. NDA and/or non-disparagement clause.

That's my feeling.
