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

[Hexmage-EN]

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.

Absolutely, but I come from a line of hobby where displeasure is expressed via the burning/melting of previously purchased goods when a company does something we disapprove of.

Stopping playing, boycotting?

 

[Ondath]

Yes.

It's no more generous than open software licenses which have kept the entire software industry thriving.

I'm going to let my current 5e campaigns run their course, but after that no more official D&D for me.

Kind of? I'll probably still buy 3rd party supplements, but be done with the core rules. I just released a FKR game designed to be used with D&D supplements (Wyrm Game Simulacrum). I'll probably use that going forward. I'll probably still run Basic Fantasy, Blueholme, OSRIC, and other D&D clones, too.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret:
I don't need Hasbro or Wizards of the Coast to play D&D. Nobody does.

So that's a solid NO from my camp.

i once had plans to pick up OneD&D stuff and see if it was worth trying to replace the stuff I already own. Between this OGL stuff and what Hasbro has been doing to MTG, I do not plan to directly buy anything WotC produces ever again. I might buy MTG singles off the secondary market for Commander decks, but I'll hoist the Jolly Roger before I buy another D&D book. Or just switch over to A5E.

I'm not planning on forcing my group to do anything, and a friend of mine is running his first game right now using 5e so I don't plan to stop playing, but I have already told them that as it stands I probably won't run anymore dnd games. I'm certainly not spending any more money on Hasbro products.

Replied "NO", cause I will end the campaign I'm mastering, but this doesn't means I will start new ones or buy something from WotC again (that Book of Many Things. If it is what I think is, that would have been a "must buy" book for the community, can't belive what they did to the IP...)

I think this poll would be more accurate if it asked if we were going to stop PAYING for d&d content from WotC, not playing d&d.

 

[Deset Gled]

Stop instantly? The day the new OGL is announced? No. I have a couple ongoing 5e games. We'll finish the campaigns.

But I will not spend money on the next edition of D&D if they go through with what's been reported on OGL 1.1. Before this drama, the group had assumed that we would upgrade to 1D&D at some point after it's release. Now, we'll be looking into alternatives.
