[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 8896607, member: 6843593"] I think the concern about the brand is a combination of PR to explain why they are doing something terrible (we had to, they made us do it) and possibly some corporate brand person separated from any of the actual examples. That one puerile book from 20 years ago gets trotted out, but it is not even a good OGL example. The truth is that is not a problem and only fanciful scenarios like you keep arguing without any real attachment to reality provide support for it. The real facts are that Hasbro wants to end the OGL so they can protect their new D&D product, especially the VTT they are investing in. You can see that in the list of product areas they are going to clarify. NFT are not VTT. VTT are used to play games and pretty much they just present the maps already in the books/pdf and provide a way to project them out to the players. Some have some automation of the rules built in. They just allow table top play but online. However, WoTC finally wants to release their own VTT so they do not want competition for One D&D on it so they want to eliminate any content. This is entirely about getting rid of the OGL and has nothing real to do about hate speech and prejudice. You can keep repeating your fanciful concerns in different language but you are completely non-convincing. [/QUOTE]
