An exclusive look at Wizards of the Coast's new open gaming license shows efforts to curtail competitors and and tighten control on creators of all sizes.

They're trying to kill Paizo for being too based. Allowing the first unions in our TTRPG market? No fucking way! Don't buy from Wizards ever again you hogs

    I know Paizo and Pathfinder are way better, but part of the reason why I stuck to DnD 5e for so long is because the third party content I liked wasn't made for PF. Also my group is still firmly in 5e so I have had no time to explore other systems. Kinda bummed because 5e was the first ttrpg I've ever played.

    I'm kinda wondering if they are releasing a bad deal on purpose so the backlash makes them change the deal so it's "better" in comparison to the current license.

      What content do you like? Odds are its been ported recently. 2e has seen a lot of development recently.

        I like Kobold Press's stuff. I do know they have some stuff converted, but it seems like their recent stuff isn't, unless I've looked wrong. I like Critical Role's stuff, Metis Media, but they are written in DnD so I'm stuck for now.

        I do hope to see some development for 2e soon at least. As for now, I'll probably stick with 5e for a bit longer as I'm playing a game in 5e and I want to get better at DMing with a system I'm familiar with first before I make the switch.

        Do you have any good content to recommend that is is both 5e and 2e?

          Battlezoo has both, its generally considered to be the best 2e 3rd party.
