Rorschachhamster: 1 Neues Monster für Old School Rollenspiele: Magasit und drei blutige Zauber
Juhu! Ein neuer Beitrag! 😀 Diese Zeichnung hatte ich schon etwas länger. Bin beim Durchschauen alter Machwerke drauf gestoßen, und habe es dann coloriert. Dann habe ich eine ganze Weile überlegt, was das Ding überhaupt ist – die Datei heißt nicht ohne Gund „Hutmonster“ ;). Mit der Idee des magischen Parasiten kamen dann schnell, natürlich, … 1 Neues Monster für Old School Rollenspiele: Magasit und drei blutige Zauber weiterlesen

CW: Long thread/5
The original AD&D hardcover cover art is seared into my psyche. For several years, there were few images I looked at so closely as these. When Hasbro pulled some world-beatingly sleazy stuff with the #OpenGamingLicense, I knew just how to mod Dave Trampier's 'Eve Of Moloch' from the cover of the *Players' Handbook*. Thankfully, bigger nerds than me have identified all the fonts in the image, making the remix a doddle.

New Orcs on the Block now has #FoundryVTT Integration!
Inspired by the ORC #opengaminglicense and #ogl fiasco from January, now your characters can rally their community as you help Axeside, the orc neighborhood of Meravon, fight for its independence.
A great compliment to any #Pathfinder Isle of Kortos AP or even run alone as a mini adventure.Check out a preview on our channel https://youtu.be/DJC734Hcm5w

It’s truly sad / disheartening and upsetting what Hasbro is doing to the #dnd community.
I’ve cancelled by D&D Beyond subscription - a sad day, have been with them from the beginning.

When you're at a software development conference #CodeMash and the most passionate conversations you remember people having are related to the #WizardsOfTheCoast #DungeonsAndDragons #OpenGamingLicense changes that leaked, you know there was a massive mistake made.
And as expected, #Paizo is making the right move.

Haven't had much chance to look into the #WotC #DnD #OGL statement, yet. Some say all fluff, others say total backtracking.
?🤔?

Cory Doctorow hits a natural 20 yet again on the #OpenGamingLicense:
"Decades of copyright maximalism has convinced millions of people that anything you can imagine is “intellectual property,” and that this is indistinguishable from real property, which means that no one can use it without your permission."
We have been trained to think copyright is universal and unlimited, primarily for the benefit of large corporations, and it's just not true.

With multiple companies announcing that they are developing their own systems, the continued silence from #wotc, it's no surprise that #paizo is announcing their own #opengaminglicense. In the end I think WotC shooting themselves in both feet will be a good thing for the #ttrpg as a whole.

Another interesting piece from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic in praise of Creative Commons licences and against the deceptions of the so-called Open Gaming License.

Shortly after the announcement, Sick.codes tweeted how the fine-print in the MOU would have prevented him from doing the work he's already done (including "a direct stab at me lol"):

As with other instances of #monopolistic, corporate copyfraud - like, say, the deceptive #OpenGamingLicense - the John Deere capitulation is really a bid to take away your rights, dressed up as a gift of more rights:

Cory Doctorow knocks it out of the park with another great analysis of what the recent WotC decision means for the #OpenGamingLicense.
This perfectly showcases what a lot of people are missing about the strengths of the #FOSS licenses like GPL and Creative Commons: These licenses are not meant to protect the creator (like copyrights) they are meant to protect the user!
When I share something I made and I provide it to your as AGPL, what I am effectively saying is that I want you to use this, and not only promise not to ever take it away from you, but also explicitly legally bind myself to that extend as well!
The point is that people change and things change, but just because I changed my mind later or got greedy, shouldn’t allow me to retroactively take away ideas I’ve given away. In fact things like AGPL shouldn’t even need to exist, and all ideas should work likewise.
But as always capitalism has ruined everything to the point where we need to make exceptions to avoid the expropriation of even things like human ideas.
This is why proponents #copylefts constantly harp not to trust corporate licenses like these. They are not meant to protect you, they are meant to trick you.

Last week, Gizmodo's Linda Codega caught a fantastic scoop - a leaked report of #Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary #WizardsOfTheCoast promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend, remix or improve #DungeonsAndDragons:

Me last night: "Hmmm, I want to buy a #Pathfinder2e PDF or Foundry module, maybe I'll buy them next month or so."
*wakes up to the news of the ultra-restrictive #OGL from #WotC and how it will screw over third-party content creators like #Paizo*
Me now: "... I'm just going to buy stuff now and support Paizo, before these bad changes can take place."
