They're still going through with it and maintaining that they have the right to change the terms whenever they feel like. As expected they're rolling back one or two things (which they can undo whenever they want) and acting like people won. Fuck WotC.
Complete horseshit. Just a way for them to reduce the amount of people criticising them right now and maybe get people to stop cancelling their DNDBeyond subs.
It is clear that no matter what, they will move forward with a new OGL, which will be worse for creators. The only thing to do is to divert away as much attention as possible from D&D and into other systems. Whether that’s Pathfinder or something else.
Unfortunately, unlike with 4e, D&D today is way bigger than it ever was. Which means there are way too many casual people who learn about it from Stranger Things and the new movie that is coming out. We can’t stop that.
But it is absolutely vital to stop the online means of casual people getting into D&D: all the actual play livestreams and videos and podcasts. This means your Critical Roles and Dimension 20s. They have to stop playing and promoting D&D and move to alternative systems. That is the only way to meaningfully stop making D&D such a huge part of the ttrpg scene.
Didn't one of the critical role guys turn out to be a sex pest?
He left a long time ago before he got outed. He visibly was making the group uncomfortable in his last episodes so I kinda think there was more to it than was public.
I forgot about that. Dude ate nonstop and kept touching and creeping on one of the girls. He also godmoded, argued constantly with the dm and players, almost never paid attention while constantly demanding attention, stole ideas from the other players (his character basically had all the other characters gimmicks by the end) and accepted tons of gifts from the fanbase. Those early episodes are almost worth watching for him being a constant trainwreck -- like just everything you shouldn't ever do
I found him to be unwatchable. I'm not even sure if it is worth watching him be a trainwreck After the worst he ever was on an episode, he left and you could see the rest of the crew was visibly more at ease
I have no idea.
