This is fantastic news. They also said they will go to court over if WoTC try to “deauthorise” OGL 1.0a which is just epic.

Edit: The site went down lmao. Epic stuff.

Edit: BTW, Paizo is the company that also recognised their Union without requiring it to go to vote or hiring anti-union shitheads.

      D&D is going with the angle of, "We need to seize total control because someone might make racist or homophobic content and we want to be able to shut it down immediately," which is obviously just throwing minorities under the bus to cover their ass and attempting to brand critics as bigots, but while the vast majority isn't falling for it, right-wing grifters are definitely going to have that as an angle.

      Actually, the far-right also doesn't like the OGL 1.1, since it gives WotC the right to shut down your publication if you use the OGL 1.1 and your product is racist/transphobic etc...

      Obviously, that type of product is bad, but no one with any sense of self-preservation would sign away that type of right to a company for basically nothing in return.

        I've seen some small peanuts DnD youtubers go on rants on WOTC embracing furries, having species instead of race, and removing racist shit as "go woke go broke" shit all over again with the OGL debacle (even though most DnD nerds are cool with WOTC being inclusive and are just mad about the OGL)

          Embracing furries? What is D&D if your party isn't a robot, a mantis man, a vampire and a fucking gnome?

            A boring ass time that's what it is, but yeah hobbyist reactionaries only know how to play fascist character fantasies.

        Yeah Wizards did one good thing recently and that was go sue some CHUD's RPG for using one of their products with extreme racism.
