Pues a primera vista parece que el psicodrama de la #OGL ha terminado mejor de la esperado con #Hasbro/#WotC diciendo que la #OGL1 se queda como está y que el #SRD se acogerá a una licencia #CreativeCommons.
De todas maneras esto me sigue dejando varias preguntas abiertas:
- La OGL1 se queda igual. Lo que quiere decir que sigue siendo revocable por Wizards. Y después de un intento de revocación a ver quién confía ahora en ella. A todos los efectos la han matado.
- ¿Qué sentido tiene ahora la #ORC promovida por #Paizo cuando el líder del cotarro se acoge a algo ya existente y libérrimo como CC? En España por ejemplo la gente de #lamarcadeleste dijo ya hace unos días que ellos se iban a CC y que pasaban ampliamente de la ORC. Lo que me parece lo más lógico.
- ¿Cuánto daño reputacional será permanente para #DnD?
- El objetivo final supongo que sigue siendo exprimir a la gente en #dndbeyond para que aflojen la pasta periódicamente. No creo que esto haya terminado aquí.

Güeno, mucho se ha hablado de #Pathfinder, de cómo la comunidad de #DnD está moviéndose al juego de #paizo fruto de la OGL. Al menos por ahora, pies parece que #WotC ha rectificado y no tocará la #ogl1. De todas maneras, la #ORC parece inminente así que... Con ganas de probar #pathfinder2? Pues mañana se juega su tradicional multimesa! En Barcelona, en la Lleialtat Santsenca y de la mano de #pathfindersocietyBCN y #Sants-Niggurath. Aún quedan plazas :d20: 😉

I’ve said how ableist #OGL1.2v1 is, & many minorities have pointed out how shutting down 3PP silences marginalized ppl, & the morality clause is especially scary for LGBTQ+.

But in 9, you waive the right to a jury trail, you agree that you’ve had the chance to get legal counsel, and you have to go to Washington for a trial simply by by publishing an OGL stat block, even if you’ve never heard of 1.2 or don’t know English.

🌎: Um, WotC, Vistani & Hadozee are racist.
Hasbro: Hold my beer.

Good summary.

Une belle allégorie des évènements récents entre #WotC/#Hasbro et l' #OGL1.0a featuring les autres éditeurs (et les rôlistes).

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate
(...)
So, so, so, so listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'
You'll shut me down with a push of your button?
But you, I'm out and I'm gone
I'll tell you now, I keep it on and on
(...)
Our backs are now against the wall?
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage

Mind, it's not a more significant collection of lies and outright bullpoop than your standard corporate statement so I'm still in get-the-popcorn mode and not fetch-the-torches-and-pitchforks. #TTRPG #DungeonsAndDragons #OGL1.1

Oh-ha😳 !

The opinion of James Maliszewski about #DnD #ogl1.1

http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2023/01/blast-from-past.html

https://www.opendnd.games/

An open letter to D&D and it's creators Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro to please NOT enact the horrible OGL that they have announced,
some big names have already signed.

Mage Hand Press, Foundry Virtual Tabletop, Rogue Genius Games, Plane Shift Press, Alchemy RPG, The DM Tool Chest, Sly Flourish, The DM Lair, Bat in the Attic Games, Astral Gaming, Lone Wolf Development,

many, many more.

I really wish companies that sell products to geeks would realize that we love nostalgia and collectibles, fan arts and related projects. If we buy something free, or from someone else using your "IP", it makes us more likely to buy products from you, not less. (As long as you put in some minimal effort.) This move by #WizardsOfTheCoast is dumb and counterproductive, and is only going to hurt the gaming community- their customers.

#DungeonsAndDragons #OGL1

This new #OGL #WotC are about to drop is hella sketchy. It basically feels like if some open-source company suddenly said the previous cc0 would no longer apply. I've heard a few people say it is not possible for them to revoke their previous license and I sure hope they are right.
#DnD #5e #ogl1 #opengamelicense #wizardsofthecoast #pathfinder

I can but #hope that #OGLGate will convince enough #TTRPG #ThirdParty designers to:

a) turn more of their attention to non-WotC games
AND
b) convince their fans that "You like my #DnD5e stuff? Come see what I'm doing for this other game over here!"

(Also, I can but hope that #OGLGate catches on. 😏 )

I think there are two things the OGL 1.1 breaks. First is the safe harbor. Now publishers need to worry about when they cross certain lines and need to get permission from WotC to proceed. Second is the idea that D&D could survive it's current owners. The OGL 1.1 makes this impossible. #ogl #dnd #ogl1.1
