OpenDnD - An Open Letter to Wizards of the Coast (Patreon)
Content
We are yet to hear anything official from Wizards of the Coast regarding the leaked OGL1.1 document, however the community is being proactive in doing everything we can to keep this from coming to pass.
#OpenDnD is a rallying cry under which creators and fans have unified to demand that WotC revoke the draconian 1.1 OGL and pledge to support the existing 1.0 OGL into future editions of their games. This isn’t an opportunity to litigate and tinker with a new license, but to return to the values of open gaming. Our community deserves an open future if we want our favorite games to not only survive, but thrive!!
If you are a creator, #DontSign the new agreement. If you love roleplaying games, let WotC know we won't support them without an #OpenDnD!
WotC has shown that they are the dragon on top of the hoard, willing to burn the thriving village if only to get a few more gold pieces. It’s time for us to band together as adventurers to defend our village from the terrible wyrm.
Please go to https://www.opendnd.games/ to sign the open letter, along side thousand of other creators, GMs and players. There is also an FAQ and articles to provide more information.
Even if you don't play D&D, this is likely to effect you. Many games are based on the OGL1.0a even if they don't use the 5e Systems Reference Document (SRD) and the whole industry is so interconnected that everyone will feel the ramifications of this.
We will get back to the regularly scheduled content as soon as possible, until then please know that your support means everything and we will do whatever we can to keep creating for the games you love, except signing the OGL 1.1.
