A top publisher of D&D material, KoboldPress, has made a huge announcement in the midst of major D&D drama:
A prominent publisher of Dungeons & Dragons-compatible material has announced plans to develop a new ruleset that will be"available, open, and subscription-free for those who love it." Kobold Press, a veteran TTRPG company known for its Midgard campaign setting and its deep line of 5E-compatible rulebooks, has announced plans to develop the Core Fantasy ruleset, a new set of fantasy RPG rules that will be available for others to use through open gaming.
The announcement is a clear pushback against recent rumored changes to the Open Game License, which provides the framework for publishers such as Kobold Press to make material compatible with Dungeons & Dragons. Kobold Press is one of the largest publishers of third-party D&D 5E material, and even worked with Wizards of the Coast to develop the first official D&D 5E adventures Tyranny of Dragons.
Kobold Press is one of the publishers likely to face the most challenges under the OGL 1.1. While it was previously assumed that publishers could continue using the OGL 1.0a to publish material without paying a royalty fee or agreeing to restrictive rights limitations, the leaked version of the OGL 1.1 claims to"de-authorize" the old OGL, thus preventing its future use.
0commentsMany publishers and creators have spoken out against the rumored OGL 1.1. An open letter to Wizards of the Coast protesting the rumored OGL has garnered over 26,000 signers as of press time. A number of publishers have announced plans to move away from publishing 5E compatible material.
