It's already completely legal under US copyright law to clone D&D or any other tabletop game's gameplay. What exactly is the OGL offering on top of what the law already gives anyone the right to do?
- karaterobot 4y agoI've always kinda wondered this myself. The copyright office seems very clear about not being able to claim ownership of the mechanics of a game. I always assumed the additional grants in the OGL were for content like (for example) monster, deity, and item descriptions, and maybe to the language used in the instructional material, not just the raw mechanics.
