Lots of offline discussions w fellow RPG creators about the OGL1.1 fall-out. Many of us have been seeking lawyerly advice, & have come to what @doctorow says: 99% of what we've been doing didn't require OGL in the 1st place. Of course Hasbro wants us to sign OGL1.1. Fuck that. 1/

It seems like the one real place OGL1.1 is *actually* required is if you wanna sell D&D compatible content in the DM's Guild. Since WotC owns that marketplace, it can require OGL compliance. This is a BIG reason for a lot of creators. 2/

Understanding huge sums of money is hard for most of us. But it’s important to understand, when billionaires are whining about taxes (including Warren’s proposed wealth tax), what that scale of money really means. A fun exercise: 1/ Let’s figure out what 1 billion dollars means:

@JustSikko @CowboyCentaur The perfect example happenened a few sessions ago: characters were sent to investigate a murder by a faction they belong to. They rolled up on the active crime scene. 1/x @JustSikko @CowboyCentaur Instead of the typical question, “do I know any of the Watch who are here?” One of my players says, “I see a city watchman I know. Name is Burke.” I ask, “how do you know him?” The character is a bit of a troublemaker, so:”He’s busted me a few times. You know, petty stuff.” 2/x

Because a few ppl have asked about my house rule, “I Know a Guy:” it’s meant to create that moment in ESB when Han decides he can go to Lando for help, but isn’t 100% sure how Lando will actually receive him: 1/ #dnd In any situation (where it makes sense), a PC can declare “I know a guy,” and then quickly sketch that NPC & the relationship. Fewer details are usually better - that leaves room for the DM & PCs to play. 2/ #dnd
