Monty of Dungeon Dudes infuriated at publishers writing own licenses instead of CC – WOTC most permissive

[Elvish Lore]

Sure but how was Paizo supposed to virtue signal by using the same license that their greatest enemy is using?!

 

[Aldarc]

I don't think that the bigger picture is necessarily as simple as the licensing agreement for its rules. Is WotC really all that permissive with the CC when it also puts a lot of its content behind DM's Guild and walled gardens like D&D Beyond?

virtue signal

Oops. Careless. Please review the rules again.

and Roll20, and Foundry, and Fantasy Grounds

There’s already at least one Kickstarter out there for it.

Which one is that? Is it by a established company?

Roll & Play Press. Yes, they’re an established company. Weird gatekeepy thing to say.

Gatekeepy how? You responded to my interest in wondering if established companies would support Daggerheart, due to the revocable nature of its license. That was the initial question.

"Gatekeepy."

Seriously.

I am pretty sure that's what I said.

you said they should not be able to do so, not that they are allowed to and doing so is ok

I'm pretty sure that's a violation of the DMsG policies.

no idea, it would be a violation of the license though, but that only matters if there is anyone to enforce it, kinda like the OGL

the SRD is in CC and about as permissive as it gets (short of public domain).

D&D Beyond is a way to buy their products, most of which you can also get as a book or for some VTTs. DMsGuild allows third parties to use WotC settings for their 3pp products.

Could WotC include more in the SRD? Sure, see Level Up 5e. I still applaud them for using as open a license over something more restrictive

The Three Black Haflings one? I'm considering backing it. However the find print says it's a system neutral setting with stats on the side for 5e and Daggerheart, but meant for any RPG.
