Tenkar is a patron of this channel and a friend. His sources are deep in the industry and his analysis is always spot-on. If he says it, it is true. 

Sadly, OGL 1.1 is WAY worse than anyone--including me, could have guessed.

Saw this yesterday, it’s crazy

Jonathan

This may be the most widespread community involvement WotC will have in a publicly available play test.

'no more dnd clickbait' ... helluva drug to shake

Gregory Helding

So is he claiming to have the actual OGL 1.1? As in beyond the leaked portion that everyone has been talking about to date?

Gregory Helding

To be fair, how can PDM not talk about this?

Jay

Is anyone else thinking there should be a boycott of all WotC and Hasbro products?

John Delphia III

i am your father Piazo! Join me -- and we shall be stronger as One D&D!

Raymond DeAncona

so, what does this mean for past creations under 1.0?? Will countless 3rd party creations just disappear?! guess I am writing modules for Numenara, Cairn or some one else not up in my business.

Yes, but how do you boycott Hasbro if you have young kids?

On the bright side, this whole debacle might cause the Shield Wall to grow. :)

Chuck Thorin

I saw Erik posted this last and thought I'll just watch in the morning. I should have watched when I had a whisky in hand....

I don't know much about kids stuff. Do they corner the market on all kids stuff? Are there no alternatives? If so, that would suck. The only thing worse than corporate greed is a greedy corporation with a monopoly. Speaking solely for myself, I just can't in good conscience support this type of unethical corporate greed. Individuals can and should always do what they find in their own best interest naturally.

The silence from DTRPG is deafening. That is where the decisive battle will be fought

Jay

The truly frightening part is that this could be a test bed for other corporations to do something similar. Imagine the horrible possibilities for YouTubers and independent creators who use Corporate products only to have them given a shakedown for a cut of the profits. You know they will do it too.

Yep, DTRPG deleted Star Drive from my library without compensation, good thing I have copies of the PDFs.

MrGunn
>>99235036

You pretty much hit the nail on the head, hence the stir.

Josh H

I appreciate this video but none of this is new news yet. Look forward to a deeper dive if/when available.

MrGunn

One more teensy little hit, come on man, I gotta have it. 🥵

Gridlock350 Studios

So what happens when this goes into effect & the people making videos on it after the 13th get snuffed out quickly?

knghtbrd

This is, sadly, exactly what I expected it to be. The OGL was intended to be an "Open Source" license, and people have done this kind of thing in the Linux world before. Generally, we "fork" their work and be done under the last "free" version and their stuff becomes irrelevant in short order. Hasbro thinks they can prevent that, and … we won't know 100% if they can until the judge's gavel falls. But Hasbro can't own rules and mechanics and even a lot of the names (like tiefling for example) unless I agree to a contract that says they can (the OGL.) And if you know how the IBM PC was legally cloned by Compaq, I personally am in a position to do the same thing with the 5E SRD. If folks tell me the rules, I can write them in MY words I can share under MY terms: Creative Commons. I won't create a patreon or anything for this—I might make one otherwise at some point but NONE of this will ever be behind it, ever. I did create a gitlab project. Look for knghtbrd/UnSystem if you want to help. I dunno if I can, or if the prof would appreciate, me posting a link. This thing was expressly given to the Internet, and what the Internet owns, it shall keep! If Chris Cocks doesn't like that, he can jump in a gelatinous cube!

GegaHub

This could be a revolution/renaissance of TTRPG simply because creators can't re-skin D&D anymore. This isn't any different than the late 80's/90's TSR and perhaps we will see some resurgence of classics like Rolemaster, Rune Quest and other more recent underrecognized rpg efforts. D&D will diminish and others may rise.

Lee Caddick

I imagine WotC will be just fine - the generation they want to capture will be online digital consumers. They're ditching us for a younger model. So what can we do? Drive a fast car and grow a ponytail whilst making our own fun, that's what!

MrGunn
>>99231391

I love the smell of freshly toasted bagels in the morning! ;D

MrGunn
>>99246310

LOL, great point Lee! Indeed, we will buy the fastest Corvette available but will drive in the fast lane below the speed limit, with our left hand turn signal blinking for the entire time and refuse to get over for faster traffic! :D

Ben McInnis

Listening to Erik, all I can picture is the cable company from South Park. WOTC has become the cable company

James Archer

Yea its bad news Professor. Its going to force third party creators to create for other games or start their own games. Whose going to accept and create something under this license and have it taken away from them if they get to big.

James Archer

Like I've been saying the Schism is real. Honestly it'll be a good thing for creators to break off from this monopolistic monster that's stifling the ttrpg community. Its going to suck for a couple years though.

baldrage

Can we please stop calling this new atrocity an "OGL"? It is the antithesis of "open." It should be referred to as the "No-GL."

Gregory Helding
>>99233040

Yeah - I read on another page that some creators were given advanced drafts. I assume one of them leaked.
