Anyone been following the Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro/OGL fiasco?
Yowza.
Eplain please. Whats happening, I'm out of the loop.
Wizards made an unwise power grab that backfired.
This blog post sums it up really well but there is a TON of coverage on it all over the youtubes, etc.

I guess I just don't get it... It's a table top game that is a framework for playing. You can just do whatever you'd like, it's just rules.
I ended up making friends with the main artists of DCC. We have a daily chat group. It was fun to read what they had to say about the TSR/Wizards fiasco, some of them worked for those companies, so they had some really personal things to say.

I've got an open meetup group that plays DCC every last Sunday of the month.
If you have never played Dungeon Crawl Classics, it's a DnD-like table top RPG that is light on rules, heavy on fantasy, and it gets better the more gonzo you go. This particular group, we do everything from classic DnD-like dungeon crawls to drunken hillbilly vampire escapades to futuristic apocalypse motorcar chases to deadly live television game shows.
No experience necessary and we love having players that are new to the game. It's very casual and designed to allow players the freedom to show up or not, the story will continue.
Meetup:

Our next event:

Do you still run these? I always wanted to play dnd when I was a kid, but Satan and all that. Now, i have my kid every Sunday. But could get a sitter once a month for sure.

They are still alive and running, but are run mainly by another member in person in Chicago at DMen tap. I would love to run a monthly campaign again. I only stopped because I had my second daughter, but now that she's approaching 1, I would have some of my time back again. We are self-organizing, any member can organize games.
I just got two DCC sets that I want to run: Dying Earth and X Crawl.

I got the Old School Essentials box last November, and finally pulled a group together to play this week. We're going to make it a regular thing, going some of the 1st party published adventures, first with Basic set and then with Advanced, to see which one we dig more.
I'm in love with it. If I remember correctly, I attempted to participate in an OSE game over the Panorama that was put on by one of you gentlemen (Cakes?) - I ended up not doing that, but the PDFs you provided made it back into rotation around the time of the Wizards fuckery. So thanks for that, 4 years later <3

I'm using ChatGPT to GM solo a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign I've wanted to play for thirty years... The Enemy Within. One of the "all time greats" of roleplaying campaigns. It's such a great setting.
