So how do we respond?

[GMforPowergamers]

We have creators who were in these NDA meetings walking away from OGL content, or postponing projects, paying layers, vocally very not happy. Those are facts.

who do we have that we know was in the meeting that is postponing something?

Griffon's Saddlebag said he's taking until January 13 to think about what to do with OGL v1.1, and it sounded like he was under NDA and knew more about the details but couldn't disclose them.

Christian Hoffers latest article has folks.

Edit: I misposted. The article in question has folks talking on the basis of the leaked information.

That's not how I see what's happening. I am seeing responses to alleged leaks and partial information coming from folks who are on the outside looking in, and who often have a vested interest in controversy. But I'm not seeing a lot of information directly from first parties that are involved. I am very wary of second hand information and analysis, even when well-intentioned.

I'm not going anywhere near a torch and pitchfork until I know what's what.

Well in all fairness, the reason you haven't heard from first parties is because they're silenced by NDAs. So the only information the greater hobby community possibly can get is through leaks, because these negotiations around the new "Open" Gaming License are decidedly not open.

I guess we all have to set our own skepticism threshold. Personally, I've decided that this second round of leaks has proven to be pretty damning, and that the "torches and pitchforks" are merited at this point. Imo, such noise really is the only way passionate outsiders can make our voices heard before it's too late.

In this case the "leaks" are by ethical whistleblowers.

Ope! I was wrong. This article does not have folks state they were under the NDA or went to any of the meetings.

I'll update my other posts.
