So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?

Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:

With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.

With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:

Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)

Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion

Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent

And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!

It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.

This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.

These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.

So, what can we do?

Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing. 

Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it. 

And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall

ok but hear me out: Ghost Clay

enough tumblrina infighting. it’s time to unite against our common enemy: people who randomly clutter up the tags in searches with bite size posts full of every possible irrelevant tag they can think of for attention like this

BOOOOO BOOOO sit DOWN

OTW donation gift got lost in the mail? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hey, just putting this out there in case someone has a suggestion. So I donated to ao3 during the last donation thing, and I chose a donation gift, and got tracking information not long after. It apparently shipped on the 21st, and was supposed to arrive on the 28th. However, the tracking page has changed to say it's being shipped to another facility and will be arriving late? And it doesn't say what facility it's being sent to. I suspect it may be lost in the mail, maybe? It's only a couple days late, but I don't want to delay checking on the issue. I was wondering if anyone knows if there's someone I could contact about that? I'm pretty sure that if a package gets lost in the mail you are supposed to contact the shipper about that, but I don't know if the otw works like that? Anyone else have an experience like this? Or any suggestions?

You know what I’m actually slightly mad about? I was going through my screenshots (mostly because I have so many I cant even remember what all is in there) and I found some that are of funny moments from fanfiction. 

The issue is... most of them are from before I got an ao3 account, so I didn’t bookmark any of them. And while I can remember where some of them are from, most of them I need to search to find them again.

However, while I can tell what fandom they are from based on any character names in the screen shots, if there isn’t anything more specific in the picture it means I would need to go searching through possibly thousands of stories (using find in page on the entire work) just to find them again. That’s assuming they weren’t just deleted!

>:(

I am very frustrated by my middle school self’s tendency towards saving things but not labeling them. It means that college me (with better mental health) needs to do it years later... oof.

Deltarune chapter 2, possible spoiler warning! Also maybe spoilers for a certain comic! Might as well warn for my long as heck rant too. I am incapable of being concise unless forced to be. XP

I have been in love with deltarune chapter 2, I swear! Who else is kinda excited to notice both chapters have a secret boss with some level of 4th wall breaking knowledge that previously knew a shop keeper. Once the full game comes out, we will know if its a pattern I guess!

ALSO! I don’t know how many people reading this have also read the comic, but there is a deltarune comic that seems to have nearly predicted some parts in deltarune chapter 2. It’s called Papertrail by lynx-griffon, and its so good! 

SPOILERS BELOW!

So yeah, it has lots of stuff from chapter 2, like Noelle entering the darkworld, having ice powers (although i suppose thats pretty common sense given her theme), it being possible to have darkworlds outside of the school, and the fact that lightners can actively create them, as opposed to stumbling across them like Narnia. I am kinda hoping other stuff they included turns out to be accurate as well!

Also, @baka-monarch, have you played it yet? if so, we gotta talk about it! i’m not completely done with chapter 2 yet, but you also know I am incapable of avoiding spoiling stuff for myself. (unpopular opinion, spoiling stuff isn’t always bad, at least not when its just for yourself. don’t spoil stuff for others though.) If you have played, I suspect you would like Swatch, Spamton, and the Swatchton ship. Swatch has given everyone gender envy (even me somehow, their androgyny is on point), and a decently sized group of people agree Spamton possibly transed his gender. Their ship is just 10/10 fancy boi x trash goblin content.

This is my very first tumblr post, gotta make it good.

Hello to whoever is reading this! (probably one very specific person, you know who you are :) ) 

I am tired, “mildly” incompetent, and am here for the chaos!
