  • Yeah but that’s a complete misunderstanding of what Paizo is doing. The Open RPG Creative (ORC) License is not something Paizo can pull a WOTC on because Paizo doesn’t own it.

    They’re footing the bill for the thing to be created by a proper law firm in conjunction with multiple other rpg makers that will be held by a non-profit agency. It is also specifically made to be irrevocable and perpetual. It is also systems agnostic - because, again, the goal isn’t to create an OGL for Pathfinder, but an ORC that can provide a systematic way for all rpgs to be opened up to fans and other creators.

    Either Colville doesn’t understand this, which is unlikely, or he doesn’t want to be a part of the open rpg movement.

    Add in the silence from Crit Role and Dimension 20, it seems like all these big actual play creators and communities have no interest in open rpg or any desire to express solidarity with 3PP.
