  1. I’m not a lawyer and nothing I post constitutes legal advice.

  2. game mechanics cannot be protected by copyright, e.g. Role Aids and Stars Without Number

  3. the lack of an OGL will mean that content for the newest game to bear the name, which looks to be an online experience that merges TTRPGing, video conferencing, and MMORGs, can’t be published by third-parties. It won’t affect the 3.5 or 5 OGLs and SRDs.

It seems mute to me as the medium (online environment) and the platform (the actual game) will be a single entity which would render 3rd party work impossible without going directly through Hasbro.

And I still have my TSR era products as well as OSR games and new fantasy games (TDE, FAGE, TOR) that I like.
