First, we wanted the ability to prevent the use of D&D content from being included in hateful and discriminatory products. Second, we wanted to address those attempting to use D&D in web3, blockchain games, and NFTs"you could have accomplished that much simpler, you explicitly said print and PDF only, not even VTTs, the above list does not match that."And third, we wanted to ensure that the OGL is for the content creator, the homebrewer, the aspiring designer, our players, and the community—not major corporations to use for their own commercial and promotional purpose."Define 'major', I am not seeing any major corporatrions here, and if a company manages to make 5-10M in D&D adjacent products, they do sell them to 'the community'. And that range is already very generous, I doubt any do, or not more than a handful."Driving these goals were two simple principles: (1) Our job is to be good stewards of the game, and (2) the OGL exists for the benefit of the fans. Nothing about those principles has wavered for a second. "You failed miserably at the former, to the point that I do not believe the latter for even a second"That was why our early drafts of the new OGL included the provisions they did."They were not early drafts, you sent them out to the major 3PPs, expecting a signature within a week. No draft would expect that"That means that other expressions, such as educational and charitable campaigns, livestreams, cosplay, VTT-uses, etc., will remain unaffected by any OGL update"good step"What it will not contain is any royalty structure."good stepI am not seeing anything about not registering, not reporting income, throw those out too. Finally, make it perpetual and irrevocable and we are in business again <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
