D&D General New OGL survey

[Umbran]

Waiting for the survey, but one funny thing I noticed. The OGL 1.2 says it uses the 5.1 SRD, and the 5.1 SRD says it is ONLY usable through the OGL 1.0a ...

Of course not! 1.2 isn't released yet. It is a draft for commentary. When they do release, expect a re-release of the 5.1 SRD with appropriate license.

The mod warning was to you, but OK.

When mods warn one person away, it is usually wise to stay away yourself.

Well, I commented... politely. I did emphasize that they've lost the trust of much of the D&D community and that they need to do a lot better in order to regain trust.

I know, it's just funny.

However, with the Termination clause in the new OGL stating that if something can't be enforced/valid the whole thing can be cancelled, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if they pointed to a SRD version that was valid from the onset, as wouldn't trust them saying "oh, don't worry about it, we'll fix that later."

Maybe I’m extra mad because the survey site crashed after I answered the first question - would I like to participate - and then wouldn’t let me back in.

This happened to me, too. Try an Incognito window - that worked for me.
