'Our language and requirements in the draft OGL were disruptive to creators and not in support of our core goals'.
in response to the still-ongoing uproar over its handling of the Open Gaming Licence . A post by D&D executive producer Kyle Brink offers an apology for the way WotC has handled the controversy so far, and promises a more"open and transparent" approach to a new OGL that seeks to incorporate community feedback.
"We are sorry. We got it wrong," reads Brink's post, before continuing to say that WotC's draft OGL failed to"[protect and cultivate] an inclusive play environment," and that the company's silence over the matter had"hurt fans and creators, when more frequent and clear communications could have prevented so much of this".
"Starting now, we're going to do this a better way," says Brink, describing a new, community-oriented process based on the company's current approach to the development of D&D itself. Brink says that the community will be presented with a new draft version of the OGL"on or before Friday, January 20th". Players will then be able to answer a survey—including both pre-written questions and open forms for general feedback—to offer their take on the revised licence.
Regardless of what happens with the new licence, Brink lays out a few creative efforts which definitively won't be affected by any upcoming changes to the OGL. These are:: Commenters, streamers, YouTubers and TikTok stars are covered by the Wizards Fan Content Policy, which the OGL won't touch.: You'll still be able to sell all manner of physical knick-knacks and doodads—like dice and minis—related to your own"creations, characters, and worlds".
: Content published under this version of the OGL won't be ported forward to the terms of the new one.Content ownershipIt all seems quite rosy, but we'll have to wait and see whether WotC follows through on its promises. For more than a few fans, and even some publishers, the damage has been done, and no amount of cajoling or apologising is going to bring them back. As for the rest? We'll see how this survey goes, I suppose.
