[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8873864, member: 22779"] But, again, we need to pay attention to how much is actually changing. For those who publish on DM's Guild - Nothing changed. For those who publish for free on things like Reddit or DM's Binder - Nothing changed. For those who publish OGC but make less than 700k - Nothing changed other than needing that Content Creator badge (see below) For the 20 or so big folks - they have changes. Now, the Content Creator badge. People are pointing to the D20 STL. However, that's a bit apples and oranges. The D20 STL was a separate license from the OGL and carried it's own stipulations. Which meant that they could end the D20 STL, but, the OGL was still safe. Even if they trademark Content Creator as a badge, you could simply keep publishing your material under the OGL 1.0 and remove the badge. Which means that the badge is likely far more of a marketing tool than anything else. Again, since we haven't actually SEEN the new OGL, all this speculation is just that. Well, that's not entirely true. You couldn't produce whatever you wanted - you can't have beholders in your OGL adventure after all. The OGL isn't quite "an open environment with no input from or responsibility to WotC" [/QUOTE]
