D&D General Are You Seriously Planning to Stop Playing and/or Running D&D Over The Recent OGL Developments?

[edosan]

Am I going to wait and see what OneD&D looks like, possibly staying with 5e if I don't like the changes? Sure. (Does that have anything to do with what's going on this week? Not particularly.)

 

[Vaalingrade]

I might play someone else's game if they're willing to let me borrow their books and I can't talk them out fo playing literally anything else but 5e.

So same as it ever was here.

 

[W'rkncacnter]

i'm still in a 5e campaign right now, and i'm not gonna try and argue to my group that we should stop it or switch it to a different system over the OGL bs, but i will never run one myself and when this campaign is done i'll suggest we not play a 5e campaign again. so, yes, i am planning to stop playing/running dnd over the OGL 1.1. but i haven't gotten there yet.

I had honestly been wanting to do more ‘Call of Cthulhu’ anyway. I’ll also be quite curious to see what the new ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ starter box looks like.

 

[pogre]

All D&D? No. Their recent actions have dampened my enthusiasm for the next edition/set of rules.

 

[Enrahim2]

I just checked out the costs of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook

A bit late, but in case there are others that is concerned and do not know: Pathfinder(2), including absolutely all official rules content is completely free to play! The book contains a lot of pretty art, better layouting, examples and such. But all the important text, including the "educational" bits are available online.

 

[Lord Mhoram]

I said yes but I had pretty much already stopped.
My two primary systems are Pathfinder 1st Ed, so no WotC there, and Cypher, so no WotC there either.
I played some of Level Up, but if that can be non OGL'd and keep getting support, I'm all for that too.

Fantasy & Modern Age interest me, as does W.O.I.N. and depending on what new games may come from Kobold, Rogue Genius, Legendary and such because of the situation I would likely be interested in seeing.

So aside from further support for Pathfinder 1st ed and Level Up, the OGL2.0 may not effect me.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Not much I can do about it. I own a FLGS. I'm not about to stop carrying the World's Biggest Roleplaying Game.

That said, I'm gonna be very conservative in my ordering going forward, and probably push 3PP books a little harder (a little because I never hard-push anything).

I'll keep playing too. I'll never stop playing.

My group will continue our 5E campaign. Based on what our DM has said we have a good 7-9 more months of content. By then we should have more clarity as to what is going on with the OGL 1.1. I had assumed we would play One D&D when the current campaign ended. That is no longer a given.

 

[tsadkiel]

I run 5E for my nephews. It's the game they know, the game they have the books for, and I'm not going to let WotC's ongoing shenanigans ruin my time with the boys.

That said, I won't be buying any official D&D materials for the foreseeable future, and the game I run uses third party material exclusively on the DM's side of the screen.

 

[EzekielRaiden]

Honestly, the thing I find most impressive is how stable the poll has been. When I said a 40 Yes/60 No split in a previous post, I don't think the poll had more than 70 respondents. It's now well over double that figure, possibly triple the actual amount (I seem to recall high-20s for "yes" and high-30s for "no")...and yet it still rounds to the same value, albeit rounding "Yes" up instead of down like before.

 

[GreyLord]

I've been playing AD&D for many years. I've been playing D&D (OD&D, BX, BECMI) even longer.

No idea why I'd stop now.

Are they coming to take our books or something??

 

[soviet]

No intention to stop playing whatsoever. I have no intention to give them any money either, mainly because their products have no appeal to me. I haven't bought anything from them since the three core 5e books in 2014. I don't mind 5e as a player but if I GM D&D again it will be 2e or Basic. I already have everything I need for a lifetime of gaming.

 

[Retreater]

Because you could be encouraging your table to try other systems, supporting independent creators?

 

[Vincent55]

To be honest, i stopped buying Books from Hasbro/WotC for a while, 3rd party companies put out much better content like that in the 80s and 90s. Where as The D&D name brand has been just phoning it in and even pulling back, pushing exclusive online content and collectable book covers and such.

 

[GMforPowergamers]

5e is the compromise my group has reached... if we switch we will almost for sure break up into smaller group.

 

[HammerMan]

I've never used 3rd-party material and honestly have always thought the OGL was absurdly generous on WotC's part to the point of foolishness (even before Paizo used it to make D&D's most significant competitor) so that's a no from me.

I don’t think that the OGL is make or break for me and mine. However we are already talking about breaking with 1D&D

I never thought it was foolishly generous, I always thought it was a cynical and cunning move to suborn the competition by making it pay to compete with D&D by.making more D&D. But strategies change.

 

[Redwizard007]

Stop playing? No. Actually, Hell no.

Stop buying? Abso-frikin-loutely, and not just D&D. Anything Hasbro touches will be a no go. No more MTG. No more boardgames. No video games they develop. Nothing.

 

[ProfessorDetective]

Wasn't able to play or run it much to begin with. I ain't buying anymore books from here on, though. Will still probably see the Movie and pick up BG3.
