As [USER=15700]@Sacrosanct[/USER] says, 3E and 5E would remain available but no other Wizards edition. 3PPs can still operate under the old OGL rules, but it means going their own way.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">OGL 1.1 explicitly deauthorizes OGL 1.0/1.0a's terms and requires 3PPs to strictly abide by 1.1, but gives you access to 2024 edition rules (and likely other incentives). Plus you can still publish older 3E/5E/etc. OGC under 1.1 (though now under requirements for reporting income, etc.).</li> </ul>This still represents a disincentive for 3PPs to sign up for 1.1, since there's no going back, but it wouldn't create the firestorm that actually revoking 1.0/1.0a would.EDIT: I am curious under this scenario how Wizards would respond to someone trying to use OGL 1.0a and the 5E SRD to replicate 2024 edition rules, just as folks used the 3.5 SRD to replicate 5E rules before the 5E SRD. Because I'm sure someone would.</blockquote>
