In my post from [earlier today], I mentioned that [Paizo], the publisher
of Pathfinder and Starfinder, had made a blog post called [The ORC
Alliance Grows] listing some of the participating publishers.

I'm absolutely blown away by how much a community can come together in
such a strong way against license changes, something many people would
consider too obscure to rally behind.

I guess all those years of diving into large rule tomes and an attitude
of taking on the [big bad] has helped the community to stand together.

I'm not sure how [WotC] can repair the damage done to their reputation.
I bet that some furious emails have been flying around C level
executives.

Here's some reddit threads discussing this:
