[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8882376, member: 177"] So, in this scenario, "you" are a player, or a 3pp? As a 3pp, the proposed OGL v1.1 is hostile to you to begin with. It doesn't really look like WotC wants significant limits to 3pp presence in the market. I am not sure that WotC really cares at the moment if 3pp stick with D&D or not. As a player, if, as proposed, OneD&D is close to 5e, then you don't really have to leave - you can buy and play OneD&D, but get support from 3pp publishing under 5e's open license. They still get your $$ for core books. I think a useful goal here is licensing that the fans don't feel the need to run screaming away from OneD&D. That depends on too many things outside the licensing - content and policy the license can't dictate. Like, what is OneD&D like? What are the policies around D&D Beyond, and how attractive is that platform? Do they produce a good VTT? None of those are, or should be, answered in a license. [/QUOTE]
