Dungeons & Dragons could be clamping down on its competition with a more restrictive Open Gaming License:
A leaked version of Dungeons & Dragons new Open Game License has many worried about the future of the tabletop roleplaying game's ecosystem. For weeks, rumors have swirled about Wizards of the Coast's plans for the Open Game License , a license that allows third-party creators and publishers to use Dungeons & Dragons rules and mechanics in their own work.
The new OGL provides Wizards of the Coast with a greater level of control over third party D&D and D&D-derived content, with Wizards able to revoke a license in the case of clear bigoted content and specifying that NFTs and blockchain technology are not covered by the license.
Kickstarter was contacted after WoTC decided to make OGL changes, so we felt the best move was to advocate for creators, which we did. Managed to get lower % plus more being discussed. No hidden benefits / no financial kickbacks for KS. This is their license, not ours, obviously. https://t.co/jHwX1JQKXM
If the OGL viewed by io9 is indeed the final OGL planned for One D&D, it would have seismic consequences for the thriving ecosystem that surrounds Dungeons & Dragons. A large portion for Dungeons & Dragons' dominance in the tabletop roleplaying game space was due to the OGL and the encouragement of making derivative material using D&D rules.
