@ryaninstapleton@quinnthegm WotC is welcome to update it, and to use their updated version for One D&D.
But the promise of the license 23 years ago was that you could use any version, and (as confirmed by their own FAQ) was that anyone could use any version for any content released under any version.
1/x@ryaninstapleton@quinnthegm So, Pathfinder 1st and 2nd ed, Starfinder, 13th Age, Mutants & Masterminds, Open d6, and many other RPGs were made using OGL 1.0a.
So if I want to produce more material for Starfinder, or even if *Paizo* wants to, it must* be under OGL 1.0a.
(*I'll get to exceptions)

Top Ten Uses For a Dead Space God.
10: Launch Platform.
This space god was 300 miles tall. That means the top of even just 2/3 of the head, gets you into the Mesosphere. You can use terrestrial devices to haul a rocket to the top, and save on the fuel needed to get to space.

Top Ten Uses For a Dead Space God.
9: Space Station
A dead space god has to be made of pretty stern stuff, right? Makes sense to inhabit the corpse, especially since it likely has a thriving tourist trade and regular scientific, religious, and mining expeditions.

Today, veteran creator and one-time WotC co-worker Keith Strohm said to me "Many industry pros and fans look to you because of who you are and how you communicate."
Really?
Okay.
Then, I have something I have to say. Something difficult, and complex, and likely unsatisfying.

I believe @Paizo as a company, has been a force for good in the game industry and in the world. This is why I have noted again and again they have my support.
Does this mean they are perfect?
No. It does not.
There are problems, both internally and with interactions outside.

Because the Irmagin once nearly conquered the world, those most powerful of spellcasters are now bound to 5 irrevocable oaths, rules known as the Pentarex. #AppendixO
First, each Irmagin is bound to one of five Eldriseals, and that Irmagin's magics cannot affect anyone bearing it, or any structure linked to it.

So in my quest to write #101Mimics, I've already done 1-25 (
).
Now to do the last 26!
Want to support my in these endeavors? Throw a dollar at my patreon! patreon.com/OwenKCStephens76. Mimic wall with graffiti. Even ancient fantasy cities have graffiti, and a mimic being such a wall could send secret messages in the images, clean up when guards are nearby, and possible even start a gang war. #101Mimics

26. Mimic is a single wheel in a rented wagon. It can thus "fall off" at any time to make the wagon vulnerable to ambush, and attack from inside the defensive perimeter once the ambush begins. #101Mimics27. Mimic weapon rack. With luck, you disarm yourself and give it your weapons before the fight starts, and it's certainly armed. #101Mimics

101 Unusual Mimics 1. Mimic as the keystone in an arch (build by mimic minions). When it attacks and jumps free not only it there a bitey mimic, the room's ceiling collapses on you.
2. Mimic treasure map. The mimic pretends to be a treasure map that leads you to am ambush of the mimic's allies. The mimic changes this location as needed to keep the news from getting out.
