Last year my mid-60s father said "I want to read a Manga," because he never had before and he was like, let's try a new medium. I got him the first four volumes of Full Metal Alchemist for Christmas and he's just finished the first volume. Reader, he loves it.

My favorites are the ones where they kitbash classical sculptures. Venus de Milo x Nike of Samothrace with Boticelli angels.

I want to thank all the #WotCstaff who risked their jobs, livlihoods, and who knows what else to get me this information. Please, if any of ya'll take anything from this, please know that this was not something that the staff were excited about implementing.

Watching WotC backtracking has been amazing. Never seen a megacorp crumble so hard so fast and @lincodega has been instrumental to make it happen. Absolute legend! #OpenRPG #OpenDnD #DnDBegone #OGL #ORCLicense #DnD

I think it’s safe to de-ice the subtweet… I’m (very likely) going to be on @NPR ’s All Things Considered with @jmsummers tomorrow, talking about DnD and the OGL.

I got banned from the /MTGRumors reddit for asking for sources to help support my reporting, sure would be a shame if my “crappy online article” made it on there.

In 2007-8, a three month strike cost studios between 300 to 500 million dollars, LA lost an estimated 1 to 2 billion dollars, and the WGA forced steamers to recognize the union so when Netflix and Amazon began making original content they had to hire Guild Writers.

I am not allowed and I cannot comment on EVERYTHING happening on a minute by minute basis (I gotta do a journalism), but I promise I am watching, taking notes, and preparing. Thank you all for all your support of my reporting. More to come.

So @Wizards_DnD hasn’t tweeted anything, sent out any PR, or posted at all since I first wrote about the full proposed OGL 1.1 on Jan 5. I suspect we'll hear something this week, but the lack of a response is both discouraging and damaging.

We got the exclusive first comment from @paizo ’s Jim Butler on what the ORC will do, where TTRPG creators can go (anywhere!) and how they will support—but not own—this new license. The time of the OGL is over. The time of the ORC has come.
