To recap B2: D&D has a new license that claims some ownership from anything made off it's content. So... - Mop Jan 13, 08:31 23
- Lots of youtube videos in the last week (and with new takes in the last day) that break down the effects the new OGL would have -- nm - zork Jan 13, 08:49
- I don't think that's right. This is about games made using the DnD system. - Inigo Jan 13, 08:48 5
  - Considering the vagueness in the new license related to spin-off content, I feel it was written with merchandising (and specifically Stranger Things). - Mop Jan 13, 08:56 4
    - Yup. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 13, 09:37
    - My opinion, take it for what it is worth, is that is more about tech that didn't exist when the first license came out in 200 - crash davis Jan 13, 09:20
    - Even if that's true (I highly doubt it is), that's still not the same as them staking a claim at Stranger Things or Critical Role profits. - Inigo Jan 13, 09:07
    - yeah, the openness for more shit to come is what is driving most the of the panic/reaction. -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 08:58
- No. Absolutely not. - crash davis Jan 13, 08:47 3
  - But this is the difference between OGL and independent, separately negotiated licenses. - ReluctantCynic Jan 13, 09:40
  - Right. Plus, royalties for using other company's products in TV shows and movies have a long establishment process. - Inigo Jan 13, 08:53 1
    - and as with Critical Role, D&D needs Stranger Things more than the other way around - zork Jan 13, 08:56
- Yup. - ReluctantCynic Jan 13, 08:40 10
  - It's part of a larger change at Hasbro subsequent to the death of the longtime CEO Brian Goldner in 2021. - Mop Jan 13, 08:43 9
    - I'm kinda familiar with the goings on in Hasbro--and the top of the toy/game industry overall. - ReluctantCynic Jan 13, 09:36

      - RPG publisher steals the initiative along with allies Kobold Press, Chaosium, and Legendary Games -- (link) - Beaker Jan 13, 08:52
    - They are looking to get micro-transactions anywhere and everywhere that they can -- nm - zork Jan 13, 08:47 5
      - So you'll have to login to activate one's Trouble game and every push of the dice bubble will be something like 0.0001 cent? -- nm - JD Jan 13, 08:49 4
        
        you want the barbarian Class? $10. Sorcerer - $10 -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 08:50 3
        
        there's a reason why DnD Beyond keeps crashing for maintenance as they brought it offline due to people cancelling their subscriptions -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 08:50 2

  - That’s just cause you’re dull -- nm - spamlet Jan 13, 08:17 1
    - I was good with the movie. Felt maybe others might have those reactions. -- nm - budice Jan 13, 08:21
  - never felt slow to me, just the ending doesn't really land -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 13, 08:15 2
    - spoiler - LMS Jan 13, 08:21 1
