I've been enjoying Wrath more than I've been enjoying BG3. Not that I'm hating on BG3 - it's a fun game, just not the game I wanted as a successor to BG2. But Wrath has a 6 player party, it's not burdened by the terrible chain system and WOTR, unlike BG3, Wrath has alignment . . .

Up until now I'd been saying to myself - it's fine if BG3 doesn't live up to your expectations, you can just play WOTR and Solasta. But it looks like the new OGL will kill both both games.

Sad, really. I wish I were lawyer enough to know if someone could make a new ruleset that was *reallly* close to DnD 2nd or 3rd edition.

Holy crap, this is really dangerous, because it can be wielded against anyone who is a "bigot" through the eyes the beholder. You don't have zim/zir pronounds? Bigot, contract cancelled.
