I'm obviously not a lawyer, but it seems rational to me that any ruling in court about existing OGL products would be that they are allowed to continue producing and selling any product made in good faith prior to the official release of any updated OGL terms. WotC voluntarily put out those terms for public use, so it would seem to me that any legal challenge by creators would be on that basis. For a company to put such a public license out and revoke it, costing people who accepted it in good faith their livelihoods, would simply not be upheld by any reasonable judge. But then people will people... so who knows? Also, apparently WotC did try to sue the makers of OSRIC for abusing the OGL to put out their book, or some such. I haven't dug up any write ups on the specifics there, but I understand that WotC did lose, and therefore there's some precedent against them with the OGL. Worth looking into!

I'm a few minutes in and I wish there was an option to cut out the distracting music, like in a video game. lol

You can see the entire 1.1 online now. It's all been leaked.

OGL made it easy to stick dto DnD. There was always content being oriented toward it. Arguably, it was the OGL that helped make DnD ubiquitous. Changing the terms may do more to upend the monopoly than you think. There are other systems that do more to lean into acting/improv aspects of roll playing that have become so popular. All if takes is for the GMs to get their players accustomed to new systems.

I'm still expecting that we will see Wizards/Hasbro walk back some of the leaked items to try to seem like they are listening and being nicer... sort of like anchoring bias. Anchoring bias is when you focus on that first thing you saw and it becomes the focus of all attention... then, when the second version of the contract shows up, it seems so much nicer, because it is "so much" less offensive than the first one. The anchor point becomes our reference going forward. Meanwhile, if you saw that second version first, you would be far more pissed than if you had the original to compare it to. Sort of a psychological trick to make the medicine go down easier.

The ones who spend money on RPGs tho are DMs… not typically players. DMs will play whatever they want and players will play the system their DMs want to play. I have no need for any further WoTC products, likely ever. And virtually ever DM I’ve spoken to feels the same. WoTC just flipped off their main customers.

I play GURPS. I have Mutants and Masterminds, but never played. I have played Champions. I enjoyed playing Rifts. There are a lot of other games besides D&D.

Your responses, well to be honest show you guys dont really know the RPG scene very well, Wotc cannot attack the OSR and many companies a few minor tweaks and they cant go after their stuff, this is going to be on or past the level of what happened to them in 4ed and back when TSR collapsed. This is a very greedy and short sighted action that is going to greatly benefit groups like the OSR and hurt them greatly. Wotc has also alienated so many players with their woke cancerous ideology that they no longer own 70% of the market place, this is going to be the final nail in their coffin, everyone hates them for this, No one wants to play 6ed digital vtt is a horrendous idea for the RPG hobby and the majority of players are turned off by it. Sorry guys just dont think you understand the RPG market anywhere like you understand the board gaming market.

You do realize that Alan Bahr is a RPG publisher that makes his living off of writing and designing RPGs? That is why I drove to his house and had him weigh in. I will fully admit that I am not an expert in the RPG landscape but for you to say Alan has no idea what he is talking about is ridiculous.
