Is there a consensus on what #Pathfinder is going to look like after the dust settles on the #D&D / #OGL changes? I've just shut down my dndbeyond subscription as a result of the changes and told my group we need to move the campaign to another system. But #Paizo and Pathfinder are the main targets of the changes, so I'm not sure whether that will even be an option for us!
Honestly? I would move to a different system and boycott Hasbro/WotC entirely. With this move, they have demonstrated that they don't care about you as a player. Why would you support them?
Paizo/Pathfinder, to my knowledge, relies very heavily on the OGL. So, if they want to continue to publish materials, they're going to have to agree to the new OGL. Which no sane publisher would agree to, so.....
Hasbro is changing the OGL. The new one is horribly restrictive, allows them to steal the work of 3rd party producers without compensation and gouges them 25% of their profit and revokes the old OGL
There can't be a consensus, as the rulings are based on laws, and the laws all depend upon the judge at the time.
A few lawywers have already weighed in. None of them have been willing to give a prediction.
At least there are plenty of non-OGL options. I've been ranting for a while now about the OGL not being open, but I never thought I'd see such movement around the issue.
An important point to make before people panic too much: You can still use your books and play your games. This doesn't effect players so much as it effects publishers. Your Saturday night game won't be affected at all.
Well it does, in so far as I'm currently running D&D, but refuse to keep doing so. I don't own any Pathfinder, so I would be outlaying a chunk of money to make that happen
You can play Pathfinder and Starfinder without paying, since the rules are all free ( https://2e.aonprd.com/ ). Adventure Paths cost money, but if you run your own adventures then you don't need to buy APs.
