There are even more knock on effects. D and D is not the only game on the OGL. If the old OGL goes away then those games are at risk as well.
Which games are those? Other wotc entities?
@@willtruran No. Other companies publishing other games. The OGL is a generic license that anyone can use for their game system, and a number of other publishers have done so. It is not intrinsically tied to D&D or WotC themselves (even though some CZcamsrs have presented it that way because of not understanding it).
Examples include FATE, Fuzion, Cepheus Engine (a Traveller retroclone), Dark Dungeons/Darker Dungeons (with Rolemaster inspirations), GORE, and numerous others.
@@David-id6jw o then that’s where what Pazio is trying to do with the open rpg would come in. These systems would just need to adopt a different license and continue as they were.
I also wonder what strength the ogl would hold for these other systems if it’s text is published in the material. Can wotc really nullify the ogl completely if other settings have it written into their publications. (Like Free league’s LOTR in the video did)
@@willtruran Yep, a better OGL, put under a safe stewardship that is out of the control of any commercial entity.
As for what would happen to them if WotC was allowed to revoke the OGL? I have no idea. It's as legally murky as whether they're allowed to revoke the OGL in the first place. A reasonable interpretation would be that it wouldn't affect publishers of non-D&D material at all, but I'm hesitant to trust that a reasonable interpretation would prevail.
Edit: Even if WotC revoking the license on their SRD did nothing to anyone else's licensing, it _would_ open the doors for any other publisher to _also_ cancel their license, which means no one publishing based on OGL work would have any assurance that they couldn't lose everything at a moment's notice.
@@willtruran nope. People conflate the OGL and the srd. Wizard's SRD is the mechanics of d and d. The OGL is like ORC, it's system agnostic. Some d20 games did start out based on d and d before moving away. Mutants and masterminds is this. There are other games like cinema6/Opend6/minisix that were from am SRD put on the OGL by a someone else. There are some fudge/fate variants. As they are also creative commons they can easily pivot to cc. There are also a handful of other games and systems on there that I don't know as well. People trusted wizard so much they thought it was a good idea to join up. ORC is trying to encourage this by getting a lot of publishers on board and putting it in the control of a charity. Had wizards.nitnretaoned ownership and control they wouldn't be able to do this.
