In response to "To recap B2: D&D has a new license that claims some ownership from anything made off it's content. So..." by Mop

I don't think that's right. This is about games made using the DnD system.

Movie/TV licensing of products are a separate thing, and I'm relatively sure Netflix paid for the rights to use DnD in the show.

Considering there's an official DnD Stranger Things Hasbro starter set, I think the companies have already worked out their IP issues.

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

- 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
