man, Twitter is pissed about this whole D&D thing. Like even attacking Critical Role for being sponsored by them. Hasbro screwed the pooch royally -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 07:15 18

        the whole reason they are what they are was due to the OGL. Getting rid of that will create competitors galore or worse for them 1 with everyone else - Beaker Jan 13, 07:26 1
        
        Not "getting rid of" but replacing with another one (which isn't particularly open) -- nm - zork Jan 13, 07:34
  - the reason D&D is the game it is is that they used to allow other companies to make D&D shit and sell it and make money - Beaker Jan 13, 07:19 2
    - better explanation here -- (link) - Beaker Jan 13, 07:20 1
      - I've loved DnD for 30 years. Still don't care. These companies will still make money, but they'll have to pay royalties. The horror! -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 07:34
