At long last, Ben and Kirk dive into the open gaming license and the kerfuffle surrounding it. Image Credit: "Dungeons & Dragons dice 2" by lydia_shiningbrightly is licensed under CC BY 2.0.

Josh was under the weather, so we were lucky enough to snag Noted TTRPG Attorney Noah Downs, Esq., to come and talk about and offer his on-the-ground perspective about the tumultuous last 12 months in Dungeons & Dragons and the tabletop gaming space overall. Do you think Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro has recovered from the PR nightmare that was the Open Gaming License controversy? I'd argue that even with last month's layoffs, D&D is far stronger now and better positioned to thrive than it was this time last year. Check below for all the topics we discussed. The OGL Controversy One Year Later Despite the body blow to the company, is Wizards of the Coast actually *better off* now than they were a year ago? WotC juking everyone with Creative Commons D&D's 5.1 SRD going into Creative Commons wasn't at the top of anyone's list of probabilities when everything with OGL started. Third Parties' Plans Foiled Third-party publishers clearly planned for a different outcome when they started announcing their upcoming D&D alternatives. But, once WotC went with Creative Commons, it seems like they scrambled to still move forward without losing face even though their original motivation was less and less relevant. One D&D (Can we even call it that anymore)? Call it One D&D, call it 6.0. Whatever it is, it's coming, and it remains to be seen if it's going to be "iterative" like was originally announced or an entirely new ruleset. You would think that releasing the 5.1 SRD into Creative Commons would incentivize them to release a whole new ruleset. Wasn't there a D&D movie? Yes, and it bombed. We talk about why. WotC's Book Price Bloat Sure there's inflation and things generally cost more, but what extra value are you getting for the additional cost of these books? Planescape returns… is it worth it? Rerelease, remix, or return to get your money back? Does the new 5E Planescape justify its existence? Ernie Gygax and Justin La Nasa's NuTSR files Chapter 7 Uninclusive company with a racist and transphobic product continues to have problems and files for bankruptcy after ing around and finding out. Weird D&D channel What's the deal with that D&D free ad-supported television channel? Who asked for this? More importantly, who's paying for it? AI's influence on content creation AI has 100% affected every corner of content creation in the last year and WotC wasn't safe, either. We talk about the real AI art scandal and the smaller, made-up one that came at the end of the year.

Hasbro axed over 1,000 employees before Christmas, including many key Wizards of the Coast employees. Now a former WotC employee is spilling the tea on what went down and what the current mindset of WotC is in relationship to Magic the Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. Additional Context: The recent layoffs at Hasbro, which have significantly impacted its subsidiary Wizards of the Coast, have been a source of considerable concern and surprise in the gaming industry. Despite Wizards of the Coast's strong performance, particularly in its digital gaming segment and with franchises like Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and Magic: The Gathering (MTG), they have not been immune to these cuts. Wizards of the Coast's revenue had been on the rise, especially with the success of projects like "Baldur's Gate 3", contributing to a 40% increase in year-on-year revenue. However, despite this success, Hasbro's overall financial health has been less robust, with falling total revenue and share prices, primarily due to challenges in the toy sector. This situation has led Hasbro to undertake layoffs as part of a broader strategy to address these market "headwinds". The layoffs at Wizards of the Coast are part of Hasbro's plan to lay off 1,100 employees, which represents a significant portion of its workforce. The decision has been met with criticism, especially considering the success of Wizards of the Coast's franchises. The layoffs could potentially lead to a 'brain drain' where talented individuals from Wizards may move to other companies in the industry. This situation is exacerbated by controversies like the attempted revocation of the Open Gaming License, which had a significant backlash in the tabletop gaming community. Notably, Paizo Publishing, which produces the Pathfinder series and is a competitor to D&D, has capitalized on the situation by positioning itself as a more appealing alternative to Wizards of the Coast for both players and professionals. With Paizo's workforce unionizing and the introduction of the Open RPG Creative License (ORC), there's potential for talent from Wizards of the Coast to migrate to Paizo or other independent studios. The layoffs have affected key personnel in the D&D and MTG teams, including senior development editors, art directors, game designers, and communications managers. This loss of talent could impact upcoming projects and the overall operation of Wizards of the Coast. As Wizards of the Coast prepares for D&D's 50th anniversary in 2024, with several new projects planned, these layoffs have raised concerns about the future direction and success of their beloved franchises​​​​​​​​.

It's a news roundup this week on the Goblins and Growlers Podcast! We've got a few nuggets from Wizards of the Coast (including that Pinkerton situation with the pre-release Magic: The Gathering Cards) and a Pathfinder update along with some interesting news from smaller and indie publishers, including a fantastic Kickstarter for a fishing “DLC” for your 5e game. Also! We have a big Spring Sale going on at our Big Cartel store! Most things are 10 percent off and you can use the code "GRAVYBOAT" for free shipping in the continental U.S. We're trying to make some space to order new merch for the convention season that begins in the fall, so help us thin things out by grabbing some of our shirt designs before we finally retire them. Plus, pick up some awesome indie RPGs from our friend, Brazilian game designer Cezar Capacle.   SIGN UP FOR OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER https://goblinsandgrowlers.beehiiv.com/subscribe JOIN 800+ GOBLINS ON OUR DISCORD http://bit.ly/goblindiscord   TOPICS BELOW: ----more---- Andrew Kolb's “Neverland” and “Oz” RPG setting books. We love taking a setting, especially something in the public domain, and creating a game world around them. We discuss what game worlds we'd want to create and play in. What about you? Pathfinder 2E is getting a remaster. What does that mean and what changes players can expect? They're condensing some materials and eliminating the last vestiges of the Open Gaming License from their books in favor of their home-grown ORC License – the fallout from January continues!  We also touch on the new D&D Playtest materials, including the Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcerer (no more bloodlines), Warlock, and Wizard (with simplified subclass names such as "Evoker" instead of "School of Evocation"). All materials are free on the D&D Unearthed Arcana page, and public comment is open until May 17th. Wizards of the Coast sent Pinkerton agents to retrieve prerelease merch from YouTuber Dan "oldschoolmtg" Cannon, who accidentally acquired March of the Machine: Aftermath boxes over a month and a half before retail street date. The Pinkerton Detective Agency was hired to retrieve the allegedly stolen goods, and somewhere between $2,200-$4,400 worth of cards were confiscated. There's a lot of drama and confusion over what actually happened here. Modiphius, probably most well-known for having the license to “Star Trek” and “Dune” RPGs, is releasing a new "original" setting called “Dreams and Machines.” Set on the planet of Evera Prime, which is cut-off from Earth, players attempt to rebuild the human colonies after they were devastated by deadly mechs called Wakers. Using scraps from the advanced technology left by the Wakers, humans have developed their own cultures and factions, such as the Archivists, Dreamers, and Spears. We talk a little about how, for an original setting, it sure feels a lot like a loose adaptation of the Butlerian Jihad from “Dune.” Lastly, we have a Kickstarter for a 5e fishing "DLC" called "Why Slay Dragons: When You Could Be Fishing." This super-detailed and cool game already has a 35-page sample available on the Kickstarter page and was funded in just 5 minutes. Currently, it's 10x its original funding amount, so this game is coming out with quite a few stretch goal goodies. It looks like so much fun – check it out. Finally – again – don't forget to check out the Spring Sale on the Big Cartel store, where most things are 10 percent off. Use code "GRAVYBOAT" for free shipping and grab some shirt designs before they're gone forever, and load up on some awesome indie RPGs from their friend Cezar Capacle. Catch you all next episode!

Hello Internet, On this episode of The Friendship Snake Podcast, Gunnar and Wade talk all things Dungeons and Dragons, specifically Wizards of The Coast's (but really Hasbro's) intended roll out of their updated Open Gaming License. Will this move permanently damage Dungeons and Dragons, can the community's fight deter Hasbro's greedy shit pig policy, and does Wizards of the Coast's senior leadership completely hate its customer base? All that and more on this episode of TFSP. #DungeonsAndDragons #OGL1.1 #Pathfinder #HasbroGreed

In this episode, we discuss The history of the original Open Gaming License (find our original interview with Bob Tarantino here), Wizards of the Coast's original attempts at revising the license (read the news here and here), and How contract language that's misaligned with a company's stated mission can undermine the business. (UPDATE 2/3/23: Wizards of the Coast was so moved by this dust-up that they moved the Dungeons and Dragons content to a Creative Commons license. Learn more here.)

Episode Introduction Important stuff happening once again! Thanks to intense community backlash, Wizards of the Coast has changed their mind about creating a new, uber-draconian Open Gaming License designed to take the money of the hard-working third-party publishers who've been popularizing D&D since Fifth Edition came out. They've gone a step further than a lot of us were expecting by releasing the 5E system reference document into Creative Commons, which makes it, essentially, public domain and irrevocable. Josh and Brandon get together on another Saturday afternoon to discuss this late-breaking news. Has this been enough for you to stick with Wizards and D&D or are they going to take a while to earn back your trust? Whichever way you're leaning, this is a great time to broaden your horizons by exploring other systems. Hit us up at contact@goblinsandgrowlers.com or on Twitter to tell us where you've landed.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks!  We start off the show with some updates about Wizards of the Coast and the OGL debacle that they are so rapidly trying to walk back.  Are we going to forgive and forget or is the damage done?  From there we talk a bit about Fire Emblem Engage and how it is quite different from previous Fire Emblem outings.  Tam does his best to combat the bad press and shares with us his thoughts about Forspoken, and how it is actually a really good game. From there we dive down a rabbit hole that is revisiting Lord of the Rings Online.  We talk about how it has held up through the years and the interesting way that it is continuing to expand now that they have finished the main story arc of the books.  We also talk a bit about what an interesting place the Landroval server is specifically. Topics Discussed Open Gaming License Update Wizards Furiously Backpedals What this means for the Movie Fire Emblem Engage Forspoken Bad Press not Warranted Lord of the Rings Online New Content Old MMORPG Sensibilities Landroval Server

In this episode we talk about several of the recent developments in the hobby, including missteps of Hasbro concerning the Open Gaming License and the new horizon of content created by Artificial Intelligence

We have some links below where you check out some of what we mentioned in the podcast. We are focusing mostly on the community aspect and how the D&D community as a whole is affected.

In this month's episode, we dive into the details of Wizard of the Coast's controversial proposed update to its Open Gaming License that would allow it to control, prohibit, and seize the rights to third-party published content compatible with Dungeons & Dragons. Yep, the same content that has been fueling the game's popularity over the last decade.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Folks… after a year of trying to win the housing lottery in FFXIV, Belghast finally gets a house and in the same lot number that we used to have an FC House in Mists.  From there Kodra talks about the tabletop game Middara and how it contains one of the best tutorials for a game that he has seen. One of the negative side effects of recording massive two-part games of the year show is there are hot topics that end up getting thrown on the back burner.  From there we finally talk about the situation happening with Wizards of the Coast, the Open Gaming License, and the entire community abandoning ship.  We talk a bit about Fog Sudoku and Kodra explains what exactly it is.  From there we finish out the night talking about Marvel Midnight Suns and how in some ways it is a perfect game, and in other ways, it completely misses the point. Topics Discussed Housing Windfall in FFXIV Middara is a Great Tutorial Wizards of the Coast Burning Self Own of 2023 Misunderstanding their Community The rise of ORC and fall of OGL Fog Sudoku Marvel Midnight Suns

We recap Diablo IV quickly so Connor reminisce, and we talk about Google Stadia going away finally.  Followed by a pretty lengthy half of discussing the Open Gaming License that Wizards of the Coast is trying to replace, as well as how they are doing damage control on the leak(s) about it. Is there another conspiracy to be had here?? Plus, do we anticipate this having an effect on Magic: The Gathering, considering both are ultimately owned by Hasbro? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ragegamenetwork/support

The battle over voting rights has not let up. Republicans in several key states have kept up their agenda to restrict access to voting.  New Zealand's prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, announced that she'll step down in a few weeks.  A new Pew Research Center survey found that only about half of Americans think that colleges and universities are “having a positive effect on the way things are going in the country these days. About 38% say they are having a negative effect. And, as I bet you are already thinking, yes, there is a big partisan divide on the issue.  Florida is banning a new Advanced Placement test on African American Studies that was to be offered in its high schools. The Florida Department of Education said “the content of this course is inexplicitly contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value. That law is the new law passed last year and signed by Gov. DeSantis restricting discussions of racism in schools.  Anti-Abortion activists gather in DC to demand a federal ban on abortion.  Google announced layoffs of about 12,000 workers, which amounts to about 6% of its total, global workforce.  Josh Shapiro sworn in as Pennsylvania's 48th governor.  In one of his first acts in office, Shapiro removed the college degree requirement for most government jobs in the Commonwealth. That means about 65,000 jobs will not be open to people regardless of if they went to college.  Wizards of the Coast (owned by Hasbro) is in hot water with the Dungeons and Dragons community over attempts to roll back its Open Gaming License or OGL. Now gaming companies like Kobold Press, are looking to launch new Tabletop Roleplaying Gaming systems that will remain open access. Wizards of the Coast finally relented to community pressure. But damage is done.

The HOBI Gang is back at it again this week but with no Intern this week, we are left to our own devices!

Dungeons & Dragons has had the Open Gaming License as an Industry Standard for 2 decades. In a "shocking twist" a Corporation has decided that they no longer want to share their creation and let others profit from their work. Needless to say, many fans are upset and have cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription accounts to show their displeasure. But what is it that they are truly upset about?Later we talk about some of the latest trailers that dropped, like "Renfield" and "Ant-Man & Wasp : Quantumania" Skungy's Pick of the Week is Marvel's Midnight Suns which is currently available on Next Gen consoles only. We close the show with our thoughts on the 40 year in the making sequel from Mel Brooks....History of the World Part II. Can Mel Brooks humor still be funny in this day and age, or will it be watered down politically correct tripe?All that and more on The Week in Geek with D Squared.

Once again, it's Dungeons and Dragons.About a week ago, a draft copy of the new D&D Open Game License was leaked.

Episode Introduction Well, a lot certainly happened while we were gone. All anyone's talking about is Wizards of the Coast trying to roll out the new Open Gaming License and, presumably, put a lot of third-party publishers out of business with the royalty clauses et al. We invited attorney Noah Downs (@MyLawyerFriend pretty much everywhere) to talk through all the legal issues here, read between the lines of what Wizards is trying to accomplish, and predict where this will all end. Also, it was yet another opportunity for Noah to plug his podcast, "Forgotten Paths." The day after we recorded this Wizards put out a statement walking back a ton of the things from the original OGL "leak." The statement was a lot of CYA, but it was worth us updating things. At the beginning of this episode, there's an update segment where Josh and Brandon talk about their release and what it means going forward.

This week on waypoint! Rob's back and better than ever (for now), and so of course we get to hear about how much COVID sucks. Speaking of things sucking, Ren leads us on a look at Wizards of the Coast updating their Open Gaming License, the agreement that allowed games like Pathfinder to exist when D&D 4th edition shit the bed, which Wizards is basically threatening to undo in a 1.1 update. Patrick got early access to the first episode of HBO's The Last of Us, and has the scoop on how the already "cinematic" game translates to the small screen.
