Another list of OGL and DND related videos that I’ve watched in the last day or so.
Obviously this issue with the OGL isn’t going away, and I don’t think the community will budge on the de-authorising of the 1.0a licence. It feels like a major change after 20 odd years of the OGL being used by creators, and that group has really expanded since the lock-downs of 2020.
DND-Beyond is still posting updates on their bird account, and the reply’s are making it clear what people want.
All I can say is, bring on the ORC
Meanwhile, my collection of Pathfinder books is rapidly growing, and I’m in no rush to buy any of the DND books, even though I really want to complete my collection that I started making about two years ago.

Wizards of the Coast has included a morals clause in the 1.2 draft of the OGL. This has been controversial to say the least. So, let’s talk about why you might have a morals clause, and what the implications are.

Back to the OGL fallout for todays TTRPG and Fantasy news on The Character Sheet, as D&D has responded again to the backlash after releasing OGL 1.2, which still planned on revoking the current OGL, by admitting that OGL 1.2 made some serious mistakes, and would have to be revised again after survey feedback. D&D also is launching it’s first book during the whole Wizards of the Coast OGL backlash saga, Keys from the Golden Vault…but with no fanfare, no press release, and no trailer…is the new book DOA?

The OGL saga continues, but did Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro already kill the D&D brand?

This indie RPG uses 5e mechanics (without the OGL) to help D&D-lovers ease into a different TTRPG system!

Wizards of the coast are quite good at giving a leg up to the competition.
