Message: <blockquote data-quote="MNblockhead" data-source="post: 8909956" data-attributes="member: 6796661">I completed the survey.  I tried to be constructive and polite.  Most of my feedback comes down to:1. Keep the OGL 1.0a and clarify that it is not revocable. 2. Clarify the VTT restrictions. I already use animated spell effects in Foundry. If that is not allowed, than it is just one more thing that could have me moving to another system. 3. Section 6(f) ("no hateful content or conduct") needs to go. Get rid of the badges if needed to further distance yourself from third-party creators and content.  This section means that this is not an open gaming license. They have separate agreements they can impose for publishing for DMs Guild, D&D Beyond, or their future VTT to have more curated and monitored content. They don't need this provision in the OGL. Given the current culture wars in its main markets and that it is an increasingly global brands, this can lead to unintended consequences and cause WotC to get entangled unnecessary controversy. Various interest groups will pressure WotC to police third-party content they don't like. Further, it will have a chilling effect on creators and lead to less risk taking and blander content. If I'm going to publish game content, I would rather be beholden to my own conscience, the market, public and peer pressure, and the law--not current or future Hasbro/WotC staff.</blockquote>
