You read that title correctly! The SparkleTrolls have quickly fallen back in step with Wizards... forgetting the atrocity that was the OGL "update" and even going so far as defending the action.

Hasbro / Wizards of the Coast's alleged Open Game License 1.1 has leaked, crippling content creators, "revoking" an irrevocable document, and intending to collect royalties, among other egregious restrictions, and the entire hobby is stunned. As these dark clouds roll over the land, the council was forced to convene once again to discuss the potential impact of this draconian document through the lenses of authors, content creators, entrepreneurs, and lifelong players.

Wizards of the Coast is at it again -- this time introducing a "new" Open Game License that seems to be anything but open.

Finally, Ryan recounts the joy he found creating a dungeon the old school way (which led to an entire OSR adventure) --with random dice, tables, and a good friend. ----more---- The News: Bioshock 4 Lands a Lead Writer Ghost

"It's. Not. A. Video. Game!" RD has been saying it a while, but the guys notice and discuss how the pop gaming "media" has been pumping trash content out which seems to be counterproductive to supporting "roleplaying games."
