The #OpenDnD movement shows the ttrpg community remembers what WotC has forgotten:
WotC needs us more than we need them.

I'm pretty sure I'm on record as saying most books don't need a "what is an RPG" section but my view on that has shifted over the past year as I've introduced more and more complete newbies to RPGs through my own games.
Short 🧵
The 5E D&D Combat Medic Rogue subclass I published on DriveThruRPG has a 4-star rating! Check it out and see why people like it! You can heal your allies without magic!
@ArtistDuality While being on a D&D stream is less than likely now, if your desire is to break into the actual play scene, I highly recommend @Chaotic1derful they're a diverse inclusive bunch that runs many games in many systems!
I wanna clarify: I am NOT stepping away from the OGL situation. I am however confident I have nothing of importance to say for the time being. I wont be milking drama for views and attentions sake. My knowledge and expertise only goes so far. Once I feel I can contribute, I will.
I can cite a million reasons for my dissatisfaction at wizards of the coast, but the simple answer is:
They've lost the last bit of my Good Will.
I no longer trust them as a company, and if that trust can be rebuilt it will take time and effort on their part.
This is it, the announcement we have all been waiting for. WOTC officially pulling back from the alleged OGL changes and pursuing a more creator friendly approach. Read for yourself below and share.

Already having people going onto my old videos and flaming me for liking DND
Yeah my bad guys, you're right, I should have seen through the time and space continuum you're so right 🙃
Jesus, @Wizards official response is pathetic https://t.co/Vz3VmeE1YU
They claim "they won" because they're changing the OGL (but not in response to our pressure). At every turn they minimise the voice of this community (which we now know they hate)

@AdamBlumenau We are currently looking into copyleft, considering how much of our IP (and the IP of those who chose to iterate on ours) should be made Open Content.
We are very much leaning to "most, if not, all of it".
@AdamBlumenau Having an open license can be seen as a form of copyleft, allowing others to utilize your content to create derivative works without the threat of legal action against them.
Such protections encourage iteration and drive creativity.
