Huh?? You literally said “it’s still getting coverage” so I asked where it’s getting coverage and why you didn’t share that instead, and now You’re saying “I never said it was getting new coverage”
I engaged because I hoped there was actually news on a post in World News that was interesting to me. clearly there isn’t any. Cool.
I’m confused, If it’s still getting coverage, why didn’t you share the new coverage instead?
This is an article from January about something that happened last July. Is there something recent I’m missing on this?
The OGL only covers what’s in the SRD, which is essentially the Basic Rules you find in the starter set plus a bit more.
Also worth noting after the fiasco earlier this year the SRD is also published under Creative Commons.
The full rulebooks aren’t covered under any open license, and the only way to (legally) publish things with content from those books is to do so via DMsGuild where a portion of sales goes to royalties, unless you get some kind of an exclusive license (which generally doesn’t happen).
Pathfinder is different, in that they made all the rulebooks open licensed, so something like Archives of Nethys completely legit, so long as they don’t use artwork or specific IP.
(This is all a very loose, oversimplification of the whole situation, and I’m aware of that. Rules/mechanica cant be copywriten, only the specific expression of them, yada yada.)
Sounds like you might wanna recheck what’s on that site before you make that call. Most other D&D communities that are against piracy include banning linking to that site.
