We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

[Morrus]

Even more so, thanks to the Commons, D&D isn't really dependent on WotC. My table can play it from now until we don't, no matter what WotC does.

Well, you always could as long as you'd bough the book(s). The stuff on my shelves would last me several lifetimes.

I'm just happy I moved to Level Up before the OGL Debacle, and also that A5e is based on 5.0 rather than 5.5.

Agreed. I also made the move to Level Up before the OGL Debacle. There are a lot of elements in A5e to like.

I’ve made my opinions on the state of things pretty clear. We’re living in a great time. The latest update for 5e is the best it’s ever been and ticks a lot of boxes I wanted to see resolved from 2014. That’s surrounded by more 3pp products than ever before, some of the highest quality I’ve seen. Digital tools are pretty darn great and have increased accessibility and reduced cost. In short. These are the good days.

This thread might not be what you are expecting. I’m not going to tell you that everything that WotC does is amazing and we’re living in a WotC utopia of TTRPG gaming. It is about why it’s important to recognize what we have and not focus on what we don’t have.

Happiness matters, it enhances our physical health by boosting immune systems & can even help us live longer. It improves mental health, increasing resilience & reducing stress & anxiety. From a TTRPG community point of view happiness can improve productivity & creativity. Whereas the reverse, is a blight that can have serious...

Ultimately my group and I stopped playing 5e because we don't like the power gaming vibe or the softer tone of the game. If WotC was making something we liked, I'd buy it and play it without hesitation. But we all need to be clear-eyed: WotC/Hasboro is a big corporation that will do what big corporations do: anything to make money. Personally I'd rather support smaller companies--SlyFlourish, Goodman Games, Troll Lords, etc.--than a giant corporation that has been a very bad actor in the not too distant past.
