In this episode, we discuss the renaissance in TTRPGs since Wizards of the Coast alienated the community with last year’s pricing and royalty shenanigans. Creators are now going in new directions like Critical Role’s d12-based game Daggerheart, romance-driven TTRPGs, and Chaosium’s game design challenge that encourages creators to build new games they retain the rights to. Also, AI DMs. Because who wanted improv in their game sessions anyway?!

In this episode recorded back in January 2023, we dive into the details of Wizard of the Coast’s controversial proposed update to its Open Gaming License that would allow it to control, prohibit, and seize the rights to third-party published content compatible with Dungeons & Dragons. Yep, the same content that has been fueling the game’s popularity over the last decade.
