I have spent the last two days trying to put together a video on the OGL. It is comprehensive, providing a simple overview and offers concrete solutions. It will air tomorrow on YouTube but I'll upload it by the end of the day. Stay tuned.

Thanks for all your work on this PDM

Hasbro/WotC response... they are trying to gaslight the entire community. The worst part is, it works on people who haven't really followed the news. They cast themselves as people who made a mistake and are humbly apologizing...

I'd also love to hear your take on Paizo's response and the announced ORC License

Yes, their "response" was adding insult to injury. If you're going to screw over your most dedicated fans in the pursuit of profits, at least give us the respect to not blatantly lie about it in a patronizing and cringeworthy manner.

Good luck riding this story, it bucks harder than a rodeo bull whats been kicked in the nethers.

MrGunn

There is not much there to report, it is in the concept phase now.

Things would run so much smoother if we did not have to worry about these pesky customers.

I’m glad you’ve been taking it slow. Other channels, in their zeal to use this to clickbait their way out of low subscriber numbers, have been way off the mark on some of their analysis. I prefer your takes, which deal in realties and now what people desperately wish was true.

For anyone who might be interested. I posted this one late last time. Paizo creators of Pathfinder Announce new System Neutral Open RPG Creative (ORC) License. Nope I’m not joking it’s called ORC. No company will own ORC. They explain how it works on the webpage and the video below. Third-Party Creators such as Kobold Press, Chaosium, Green Ronin, and many others are joining the ORC License. Paizo’s ORC License Page Link: https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6si7v Roll for Combat (YouTube) video “We React to Paizo's ORC Announcement Live | Roll For Combat Clip” This is video tells what is in it in less than 12 Minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NjDZSRvYJs

Looking forward to it.

The upcoming ORC will rehabilitate the reputation of Orcs 😀

Graham Kane

Thanks for all the time and effort you’re putting into covering this. Btw do you think the D&D movie will have its release date pushed back again as a result of this whole poop storm?

The sheer arrogance of this vile corporation to assume all of their customers are complete idiots and will believe anything they profess as an excuse. As if they won't try something like this again. I've explicitly stated many times that the big corporations do NOT have the interests of their customers or the citizens of their own country in mind. I wish I was wrong but I told you so. They only care about profits for shareholders. I've been proven correct time and time again not just with WoTC but many other corporations. Hasbro and Microsoft are some good examples of sociopathic corporate greed. Here is an even better one. Coke a Cola was recently exposed as trying to bribe the ACLU into convincing the public that competitor soft drink companies are racist and should be boycotted just so they can improve their bottom line. Sucks for me because I like to drink Coke.

I love their’ You didn’t win we all won.’ baloney. They acted like it was a draft! They keep trying to act like they are our buddies. Yes, that’s the new corporate speak, but everyone is on to it. They should just be open, say what they want to do and see what the market will handle.

Andrew

Very true, but I suspect they will have something concrete pretty soon. As a community and a culture, we need to tell WotC this is industry standard practices. We would love to have them at the table and back as a part of the community, but they need to follow industry standards.

Andrew

I don't think orcs need to have their reputation rehabilitated---I like the nasty brutes as they are in the folklore Tolkien drew from. Evil hordes make the gaming and literary world go round.

I'd love to see a hashtag campaign on Twitter targeting DMs urging them to make 2023 the Year of Alternative TTRPGs
