Show notes

After the bombshell report by friend-of-the-show Linda Codega on Wizards of the Coast's disastrous new version of the Open Gaming License, we discuss the controversy with two guests: Justin Alexander and LegalKimchi. We dive into what the Open Gaming License (OGL) is, its history and context, the legal issues raised by the new document, why no company in their right mind will sign the new license, the reasoning that may be guiding WotC's decision, and where companies and fans can go from here.
