The age of the ORC begins: Chaosium to release a new edition of Basic Roleplaying in April using the Open RPG Creative License

Chaosium, creators of the award-winning Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game, announced today the April release of Basic Roleplaying: The Universal Game Engine in PDF, with hardcover to follow in 2023.

Chaosium Inc.

as far as i'm concerned "Dungeons & Dragons" should be a genericized trademark

brassiere, escalator, aspirin, trampoline, etc. these words were all trademarks at one point but lost their meaning because what they described was a large body of products all called the same thing "generically"

🤔 "hang thursday?"
😎 "can't, playing D&D"
🤔 "oh what're ya running?"
😎 "pathfinder kingmaker adventure path"

#WotC failed the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment.

that's the nature of "producing profit for shareholders THIS QUARTER!!!" (the law-mandated nature of [US] corporations*). it's a greedy existence. they have no choice 😢

[*shh! don't tell #KoboldPress & #Paizo 🤫]

they're attempting to walk back the #OGL change at a glacial corporate rate. y'all in seattle outta get some of that coffee y'all love so much. pick up the pace. lmao

Farewell, #OGL. It was nice while it lasted.

Thanks to #Paizo for effort moving forward with the Open RPG Creative License which will likely supplant the OGL1.0(a) in the RPG industry in addition to all of the other indie RPG licenses out there.
