Almost all the changes are 0.5 steps forward, 0.25 steps back, and 0.1 steps to the side-type tweaks or ones that are both good and bad like the spell list and "everyone prepares" deals.Looking at boards I'm not seeing like, wild enthusiasm, either.Which actually surprises me a little bit. Plenty of time yet but...Yeah if that turns out to be a thing. I'm really skeptical WotC is going to open the floodgates to stuff going on D&D Beyond though.I mean one approach for a lot of companies would be simply to split into two companies (even if their employees cross over a ton)- one signs the OGL 1.1 and makes OGL 1.1 material, the other doesn't. You could probably even licence material FROM the OGL 1.0a company TO the OGL 1.1 company (though perhaps not vice-versa). You might even be able to get a Hollywood style tax write-down on that!Kind of interesting they haven't said more about this. Maybe they're briefing people on this extensively behind NDAs though.EDIT:Further to this, what's REALLY WEIRD is them doing it NOW, in early 2023, when the VTT and any changes to Beyond are essentially speculative and certainly at the very least many months away, perhaps even years away.</blockquote>
