One thing WotC is likely missing with the new OGL 1.1:

Tightly restricting the 3pp market for D&D is going to cause a huge drain of the talent pool for D&D writers, including the ones that WotC hires, which will directly harm WotC's ability to produce content.

#OpenDnD I'm not an RPG product creator, so my understanding is limited to what people have told me about their own experiences.

I'm sure I have some of this wrong, so if you know better, please correct me.

Let's talk about the math of the OGL 1.1's royalty system, because it's really bad.

TL;DR: Unless your profit margins are ABOVE 25%, you are incentivized to stop earning revenue at 750k.

#OpenDnD #DnD From Linda Codega's article on Gizmodo:
"The revenue You make from Your Licensed Works in excess of $750,000 in a single calendar year is considered "Qualifying Revenue" and You are responsible for paying Us 20% or 25% of that Qualifying Revenue."

Weekly #DnD game is starting up!

I'm going to shelve the OneDnD/OGL discussion for a bit and enjoy some game time.

We're starting up our Dragonlance game, and I'm very excited! Settle in for some thread, some spoilers, and some shenanigans. We've been off for two weeks, and apparently the group started having withdrawals. Good to know I'm not the only one.
