Seems like good news, but while I’ll be happy to join others’ D&D games, I think my preferences are locked into Paizo games and indie titles. link to ‘Amid widespread backlash, D&D maker scales back “open” license changes | Ars Technica’

Lots of respect for Paizo for doing this. I think my TTRPG future is more in rules-light, story-first indie titles, but if I want something more classic, I wouldn’t mind privileging Pathfinder. link to ‘Paizo Announces Own OGL Due to Dungeons & Dragons Controversy’

Once again, the more I read about this, the more worried I get. I also appreciate the thesis of this particular article: D&D could lose its status as the ur-TTRPG over this. link to ‘Dungeons and Dragons Is Jeopardizing It’s Greatest Strength: Its Ubiquity’

Glad to see more coverage of this so I can be more upset by what’s going on. link to ‘RPG fans irate as D&D tries to shut its “open” game license | Ars Technica’

So this is the OGL kerfuffle I’ve heard a bit about recently. This would be a bad move by WotC, but I’m also intrigued by what the EFF has to say here. link to ‘Beware the Gifts of Dragons: How D&D’s Open Gaming License May Have Become a Trap for Creators | Electronic Frontier Foundation’
