Message: <blockquote data-quote="dave2008" data-source="post: 8889420" data-attributes="member: 83242">I've been really bummed the last week or so with the OGL news. I simply can't get myself up to really do anything D&D / RPG related.  I was briefly excited about changing to a new platform, but that soon faded. I was checking DnD Beyond (DDB) this morning to see if there was any OGL news and I realized something.  I want to play D&D, not another game, and I want to use DDB. There is a lot of interesting content on DDB (a lot of it free) that reminds of Dragon/Dungeon magazine. I want to continue with my 5e homebrew game, it is just about perfect for my group.I know technically I can continue playing, but this whole OGL debacle has just drained the RPG will out of me. I guess I feel betrayed? I don't know. Even the calls to create a new open system or rally behind another system just feel wrong and a bit like a betrayal as well.  I like D&D and I like sharing it with others. I like the shared community. These forums are, in fact, the only social media I really engage in. I like hearing what [USER=6747251]@Micah Sweet[/USER] , [USER=6780330]@Parmandur[/USER], [USER=23751]@Maxperson[/USER] , [USER=6879661]@TheSword[/USER], [USER=18]@Ruin Explorer[/USER], [USER=5889]@Stalker0[/USER], [USER=3547]@Matrix Sorcica[/USER], and many, many others have to say. I doubt I get that if I leave D&D. I am just finding it very hard to have the desire to play or engage in D&D right now.For me, the best, and possible the only solution, is a new OGL 1.0(b) that adds that is irrevocable and next to nothing else.  I don't even think I want a siloed OGL1.1 anymore (which I previously thought would be fine). Otherwise I just might leave the hobby all together.</blockquote>
