Imagine a D&D movie not premiering on SyFy with decade-old SFX . This can be a very, very good thing. Before posting, ask yourself WWWS: What Would Wrecan Say?

If I were Paizo, I would start looking for a backup plan if Hasbro is bought by Disney. CORE MORE, NOT CORE BORE!

People will be sued for drawing goblins. Open licenses are open. They have no claim to the OGL any more. Supreme Court has ruled that previously.
