How are we even in a scenario where the ideas from one game can be covered by the copyright of the author? What law today covers the ideas born out of a copyrighted work? Or is it mostly that people see this OGL as explicit permission where otherwise there'd be none which, despite the fact that they'd win, would still leave open the possibility that derivative authors could be sued (and out resourced, legally)?
- shuntress 4y agoI think the catch is more on extensions and accessories for D&D. There is obvious stuff like pre-packaged one-shot adventure books or custom character classes. Less obvious stuff like DM screens, stat-trackers, or spell cards. Then there's the "corporate dystopia nightmare" like wizard of the coast demanding a cut on sales of dice towers, notebooks, d20s, etc.
