How very kind of them to give us six months to keep selling existing OGL products before we will be banned from doing it. Can't wait to see this go to court..

So doubling down it is...

Seems like Williams 2.0 is bound and determined to finish what Williams 1.0 tried.

I'm too old to meme, but someone needs to get Principal Skinner in here saying "No, it's the third-party publishers who're wrong."

Did Elon Musk secretly buy Hasbro and we don't know yet?

No but many corporate types are the same.

 

[Reynard]

Is there a copy online yet?

Oh they say they are not comfortable releasing it because they dint have multiple confirmations.

I believe there are other leaks, they don’t have access to them I guess.

This, and they don't want to get the leaker in trouble for potentially breaching an NDA

"Help us, Paizo-wan Kenobi! You are our only hope!"

(more seriously: this is quite disappointing - I didn't expect a full reverse, but they could at least have made the bloody thing opt-in)

 

[delericho]

That's a shame. I didn't have much hope, but did at least have some.

Oh well. There's a neat symmetry in my final D&D product being the "Starter Set", the modern counterpart to my first.

If WotC is bound and determined to self-immolate, let them.

Interesting. Seems the biggest poison pill--taking rights--is gone, and existing work is still ok to publish? That seems to conflict with the 2.0 leak above.

Take the leak with a grain of salt.

Note that the FAQ answer is relative to publishing 5E content.

Also, the grace period is restricted to product types allowed by the new license.

Finally, six months seems too short: The period from funding to delivery can be years, if Kickstarter is an example.
