Earlier this week, @Wizards_DnD announced that the updated edition rules will be put into the Creative Commons, alongside the Fifth Edition. And with that, the OGL is dead! Long live the OGL!

Those customers...are not yours. They are Hasbro's customers. The OGL gives you the opportunity to make some money building out Hasbro's brand, but no matter how good your product? It's still Hasbro's brand.

lots of folks mentioning that the movie came out right after Hasbro kicked off a boycott with their OGL bullshit and it is extremely Hasbro to aim a shotgun directly at their own foot the second they try to bring their product to a broader audience

It's been two years since Wizards of the Coast's attack on the OGL led to the promises of new licenses and new games. How's that all shaken out? What happened to the new licenses and the many RPGs affected by the OGL assault?

i know OGL would never do this to me
my HRT provider just sent out a very long rambling announcement in the client portal about them being subpoenaed that included suspicious use of markdown formatting, bountiful em-dashes, and also this really awesome prose

Also, where's the idea that the pre OGL period was a bad one coming from? I could pick up RPGs from the high street. The period post Vampire pre OGL was an absolute explosion of creativity the OGL killed.
