In 2000 with the release of the Open Gaming License (OGL), D&D fans could create, share, and sell content usable with the world’s most popular TTRPG. For over two decades, D&D enjoyed a massive creator community that helped drive the game forward. Yet, the OGL also created Pathfinder, D&D’s biggest competitor. In 2023, Wizards of the Coast attempted to cancel the license, leading to a tremendous backlash. In this panel, content creators discuss the OGL, its future, and its impact.
