[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 8882516, member: 6816042"] 3pp are not leeching off WoTC and they are absolutely not encroaching on WoTC's profit. The open gaming license has allowed a flourishing symbiotic relationship which is helping to maintain the popularity of 5e. The most successful Kickstarters tend to be 5e products. This is all free advertising for WoTC as well as keeping fans playing their game. The new license is a slap in the face and demonstrates that Hasbro does not understand how all of this has been working, or understands but now feels they're big enough to dump 3pp or gouge them. I believe the "deauthorization" part will go away as WoTC will not want to face the public backlash of killing off most content creators out there. Not sure they could legally remove original OGL anyway. The horrible restrictions on One D&D however may very well stay and agreeing to 1.1 will definitely not let you bring stuff out under original OGL as well. Ultimately, the fans have the power. Let WoTC know by not buying their products and let them know why. Support 3pp! Spread the word. [/QUOTE]
