Support the OGL v1.0a; sign this change.org petition

Two decades ago I helped create the Open Gaming License which helped save Dungeons & Dragons. Today that license is at risk of being changed by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. I am hoping that a coordinated response by the community might make them reconsider their plans.

Please join me in signing this petition on change.org. The more people who sign, the more visible this effort will become and the more likely we will have an impact on the decisions being made by Hasbro.

I believe time is of the essence. An announcement of their plans may happen today, Thursday the 12th of January. If you are inclined, please sign the petition now.

Thank you for your support!

This campaign needs you now

Hasbro, Please Take No Action Regarding the Open Gaming License v1â.â0a

Serious question- what percentage of change.org petitions ever did anything?

I feel like I've seen a lot of change petitions, and not a lot of change.

Hey, @RyanD, thank you for all you've done. Even if bad faith successors eventually succeed in undoing it, you are a true hero of this industry.

It's a mechanism to vent. Felt good too.

I think companies listen to this sort of stuff. Especially from their core customers.

Signed! Did a little donation too to help them spread word. And blogged about it.

Done.

...I have to admit it's very difficult to get over my cynicism about the utter irrelevance of change.org to, well, anything.

Me too, but if WotC is genuinely looking for metrics with numbers behind them, petitions are one, even if their importance is sometimes dubious.

Yeah, this is all I have, since I have never held a paid subscription to DBB to cancel, and I doubt my not buying a WotC book in the future will have immediate impact where it counts now.
