OGL

The sky is falling! It's my pleasure to welcome back Matthew Perkins to discuss this months HOT TOPIC: the "leaked" snippets of the alleged OGL 1.1. Disclosure: this episode was recorded on 7th January, we are not lawyer or legal experts, and neither of us have any official affiliation with WotC or Hasbro, nor any familial connection to Christopher Perkins! Through that lens we take a satirical but earnest look at the alleged OGL 1.1, what it means for each of us and the future of the hobby, while trying to avoid the overwhelming doom and gloom.

00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,299
welcome back thinkers to season 4

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,700
episode 17 of thinking critically I

3
00:00:06,299 --> 00:00:10,760
people had a fantastic holiday New

4
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:12,900
Year's period with all your loved ones

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,940
and we are

6
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:17,940
starting 2023 with a hugely

7
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:25,680
controversial episode on the ogl now I

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:29,340
recorded this with the guest uh on

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,800
Saturday the 7th of January so at that

10
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:35,820
point it was all very much up in the air

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:38,460
and the other thing is that we decided

12
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:41,160
on that topic literally three minutes

13
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:43,200
before I hit the record button so we we

14
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:44,760
had had another Topic in mind shipwrecks

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,739
which will be the topic of a future

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,000
episode and we we drop in at least a reg

17
00:00:46,739 --> 00:00:50,460
in the middle of this episode as well

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,600
around that but um yes we literally

19
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:55,440
decided three minutes before waiting

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,860
recording let's talk about the ogl so

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,079
caveats up front I know not of what I

22
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:02,760
speak

23
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,640
and uh yeah there are a couple of uh

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,520
poor takes on my part in there one one

25
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,260
particularly awkward one around uh the

26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,760
Apple App Store which was was quite

27
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:14,760
naive so since then I've done a little

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,479
bit of self-education and have changed

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,159
my view on that I'll leave a comment in

30
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:22,740
the episode description around What

31
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,540
specifically but otherwise please do

32
00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:27,060
listen to this episode through that

33
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:29,939
filter of we're recording as I said on

34
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:34,200
the 7th of Jan at a time when everything

35
00:01:29,939 --> 00:01:36,720
was very much up in the air and yeah

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,640
there was a lot of unknowns as they're

37
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,460
still probably is at the time of this

38
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,500
episode drops so please do bear that in

39
00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:46,439
mind as we go in to talk about the new

40
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:48,240
ogl 1.1 if you're not familiar with the

41
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,740

little bit about narrative pressure and

127
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:19,860
then a lot about probably how we've put

128
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:22,680
ourselves Under Pressure both in the DMC

129
00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:25,259
and also creatively I imagine so yeah go

00:05:25,259 --> 00:05:31,800
goddess 2023 Now isn't it um so

132
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:35,160
don't don't say the belly it's good I'm

133
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,259
so I'm so stoked about just like new

134
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,020
year I liked it starts with the three

135
00:05:37,259 --> 00:05:42,120
threes like a cool number yeah number I

136
00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:43,259
don't know why it's just kind of like at

137
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,360
some point when you're a kid you pick a

138
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:46,680
favorite number

139
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,020
too many twos in last year's year two

140
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,880
two minutes so yeah didn't enjoy it but

141
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:53,220
the thing is we're not here to talk

142
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,600
about something good we're here to

143
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:57,419
actually talk about the bad we're going

144
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,660
to look in to the dark side of current

145
00:05:57,419 --> 00:06:02,479
happenings this is uh this is a last

146
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:04,440
minute topic

147
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:06,360
breaking news

148
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,500
so telling everybody that's why I've

149
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,500
been stalling for the last three minutes

150
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:16,800
indeed so uh and a rare ton of events we

151
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,919
have been blessed I suppose with a very

152
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,820
hot topic recently over the past week or

153
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:23,759
so

154
00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:26,400
around the

155
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:28,199
let me let me get my legalese correct

156
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,960
the the alleged

157
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:35,639
ly leaked quote unquote documents for

158
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:40,919
the new ogl 1.1 is that correct it is it

159
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:42,479
is ogl 1.1 yes right okay right so that

160
00:06:40,919 --> 00:06:46,319
is what we're going to talk about today

161
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:49,319
uh and the what that means the impact it

162
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:51,780
had already and the impact it is alleged

163
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,639
to potentially have in the future should

164
00:06:51,780 --> 00:06:55,319
it come to fruition

165
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,780
um Dan let me just jump in here and say

166
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,139
that I am a lawyer and this is legal

167
00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:00,139
advice

168
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:06,360
I'm about to say should absolutely be

169
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:08,340
used

170
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,560
um look here's the thing I don't think

171
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:13,860
either of us are like qualified beyond

172
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,380
the fact that it impacts us

173
00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:19,259
um it impacts me directly because I am a

174
00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:23,840
publisher of Duncan dragons content

175
00:07:19,259 --> 00:07:27,960
um I do use the the current ogl uh 1.0 a

176
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:30,300
and I am also financially dependent on

177
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,099
it I work five days a week on d d stuff

178
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:34,259
and then two days a week in the office

179
00:07:32,099 --> 00:07:36,000
of my day job and the changes that are

180
00:07:34,259 --> 00:07:38,460
coming are going to be

181
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,199
wild for me like what's hey Dad what's

182
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:42,360
what's your skin in the game like how do

183
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,860
you feel that this might affect you okay

184
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,900
so I've

185
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:48,000
I wanna for the benefit of the listeners

186
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:50,160
I wanna the the main thing I want to

187
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,680
communicate first is that the thing that

188
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,160
really sold it to me was that that one

189
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,560
you just mentioned the one point zero a

190
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:01,800
is as in the current one was 900 words

191
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,500
the new one is 9 000 words that that was

192
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,479
the real thing that communicated to me

193
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:08,039
like oh this is serious business now

194
00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:10,020
this isn't just like

195
00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:12,539
some document this is now like they've

196
00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:14,099
got the lawyers in yeah you know when I

197
00:08:12,539 --> 00:08:18,000
heard that and I'm still not 100 sure

198
00:08:14,099 --> 00:08:21,300
because the new the 1.1 ogl we don't

199
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,280
actually have it it has just been bits

200
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:25,379
and pieces drip thread bed through the

201
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,599
media through leaks

202
00:08:25,379 --> 00:08:29,639
um and different sources have different

203
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:32,760
amounts of information even though the

204
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:34,620
information like it is consistent

205
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,020
between different media outlets and what

206
00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:38,580
I heard there's over 9 000 words in the

207
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:40,560
ogl I actually thought that person was

208
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:43,080
doing a meme and it's only now that

209
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:45,380
you're saying it but I'm going oh wait

210
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,380
really

211
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:52,440
yeah yes yeah that possessed so I

212
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:54,120
understand I'll say over 9001 just to

213
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,100
distance myself from the meme and make

214
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,959
it you know legit uh you don't have the

215
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:00,200
Dragon Ball Z ogl you're gonna get sued

216
00:08:57,959 --> 00:09:03,779
my friend yeah yeah

217
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,339
you only get two litigation uh cases

218
00:09:03,779 --> 00:09:07,380
against you just the one that's fine

219
00:09:05,339 --> 00:09:09,600
thank you uh

220
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:11,640
um so to answer your question the main

221
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,660
way as far as I see it and understand it

222
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:18,240
again consider me woefully naive in in

223
00:09:15,660 --> 00:09:21,839
all facets of life I I had and have been

224
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,180
in a long-term way writing some some of

225
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:27,180
my modules that I've played in my my DND

226
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:30,720
5e campaign with the ideal my my lofty

227
00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:32,399
ideal one day of saying hey my players

228
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720
really enjoyed this I only enjoyed

229
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:36,480
running it I think other people will

230
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,040
enjoy it let me put it out there coming

231
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,339
from zero I wouldn't have expected to

232
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:46,500
monetize those however I understand one

233
00:09:41,339 --> 00:09:50,339
element of the potential new 1.1 is that

234
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:54,360
anything that is ostensibly d d they can

235
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:57,899
they can just co-opt it as their own

236
00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,899
their own IP essentially yeah yeah and

237
00:09:57,899 --> 00:10:02,459
it's um It's tricky because uh even

238
00:10:00,899 --> 00:10:04,320
though there have been noises about oh

239
00:10:02,459 --> 00:10:06,959
there might be a separate license for

240
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,060
people that are making stuff for free to

241
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:10,320
distributions for Community Access and

242
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:12,019
there's a different license for people

243
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,120
that are trying to profit off something

244
00:10:12,019 --> 00:10:17,279
the leaks are seem to make it seem that

245
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,899
like it's a bit muddy here like maybe

246
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:21,000
maybe they are the same you know maybe

247
00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:23,519
they've both been treated the same way

248
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,279
um I was watching a video by Trent Monk

249
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:28,380
and his analysis he was saying from the

250
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:30,899
sources he'd pulled that it seems like

251
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:34,019
even if it is free content Wizards can't

252
00:10:30,899 --> 00:10:36,300
claim it now what I looked at the the

253
00:10:34,019 --> 00:10:38,279
language from the Gizmodo article and

254
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:40,380
something else that I read it said that

255
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:44,459
you still retain the ownership and the

256
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:47,640
copyright but okay you are granting

257
00:10:44,459 --> 00:10:49,740
Wizards of the Coast a license to do

258
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,019
pretty much everything an owner can do

259
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:54,120
including reselling that license to

260
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:55,800
other people the only thing that they

261
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,019
couldn't do with their power of the

262
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,079
license as far as I understand is

263
00:10:58,019 --> 00:11:02,700
provoke your ownership you know what I

264
00:11:01,079 --> 00:11:04,860
mean yeah it's not like a tug of war

265
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:07,260
where they can win but um

266
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:10,140
that is that is kind of scary

267
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:12,660
um I I was talking to someone in my uh

268
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:14,640
my twitch chat just today and they were

269
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:17,040
saying oh can they claim characters

270
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,620
uh I'm like oh what do you mean he goes

271
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,459
oh like if I have my own personal

272
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:25,560
characters my NPCs and my my PCS in my

273
00:11:23,459 --> 00:11:29,720
document like if I've published

274
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:32,519
something like uh Big George's guide to

275
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,079
punching bears and it's a whole

276
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:35,940
supplement about bear punching and the

277
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:38,339
rules for it the top of the backing of

278
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:39,240
my personal OC player character big

279
00:11:38,339 --> 00:11:41,640
George

280
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,680
do it in one year there's going to be a

281
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,320
big George movie it's going to be played

282
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,339
by Chris Pine

283
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:52,459
they're going to make me pay to get in

284
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:55,079
yeah the ultimate insult yeah

285
00:11:52,459 --> 00:11:56,760
uh yeah yeah absolutely and that's

286
00:11:55,079 --> 00:11:59,760
that's what I was getting that's one of

287
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,200
the reasons why I was originally more

288
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,519
than happy to be like yeah let me put up

289
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,220
there free

290
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:07,079
DND 5e get you know as I said my players

291
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:08,820
really enjoyed it well my goal is to

292
00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:11,220
have other people have that same

293
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:13,500
experience so that's that's fine but now

294
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:15,779
I'd be like well

295
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:18,240
yes I'm doing it for free but also I'm

296
00:12:15,779 --> 00:12:20,459
one of the proud and prideful of my own

297
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,980
work and if I suddenly wake up next

298
00:12:20,459 --> 00:12:25,320
month and they're releasing another new

299
00:12:22,980 --> 00:12:26,459
adventure book and oh look there's a

300
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,260
there's a module in there that's

301
00:12:26,459 --> 00:12:30,779
exceptionally similar to the one that I

302
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:33,300
wrote I'm gonna be like oh man come on

303
00:12:30,779 --> 00:12:35,700
I kind of don't want that to happen uh

304
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:38,279
so that that has

305
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:40,740
for me so the biggest thing off you know

306
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:42,720
after my head it has been that like oh I

307
00:12:40,740 --> 00:12:44,880
guess that's a bit of a shame now

308
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,760
because I'm that was like a cool

309
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:51,600
creative output for me and now it's not

310
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:54,480
maybe because no one will see it um yeah

311
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,339
so that is tricky I I do think that um

312
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,160
so at the moment the way the license

313
00:12:56,339 --> 00:13:01,200
works on dungeon Masters Guild with the

314
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,600
coast Marketplace for selling this kind

315
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,839
of stuff the license that you agree to

316
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,600
on that platform uh in exchange for you

317
00:13:06,839 --> 00:13:12,839
being able to use pretty much anything

318
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,060
you want like a broad menu of licensed

319
00:13:12,839 --> 00:13:16,860
content like they're um their Forgotten

320
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:18,839
Realms lore and rules and stuff and

321
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:20,760
talking about it and just going to town

322
00:13:18,839 --> 00:13:23,040
home brewing the way you'd want to you

323
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,079
are giving up your publishing rights to

324
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,300
to them but in that case I think the

325
00:13:25,079 --> 00:13:29,100
license says that they own it

326
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:31,740
um like this was the same reason why

327
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:34,920
when Matt Mercer made the um the Blood

328
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:37,019
Hunter maybe or maybe the Gunslinger one

329
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,139
of his original classes and he published

330
00:13:37,019 --> 00:13:41,639
it on DM's Guild when they came round

331
00:13:40,139 --> 00:13:43,620
critical role to publishing their own

332
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:45,779
book with their own characters they

333
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:48,360
couldn't use that stuff that they put on

334
00:13:45,779 --> 00:13:49,980
DM's Guild because now DM skilled owned

335
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,120
it they had the exclusive publishing

336
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:52,980
rights

337
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,380
um so the way that's going to work in

338
00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:56,700
the newogl allegedly is different

339
00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:58,560
because you would still have publishing

340
00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:00,240
rights to publish it it wouldn't be like

341
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:01,920
you're giving them exclusive rights to

342
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,079
it okay but but there are a bunch of

343
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,320
other concerns as well there's a bunch

344
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:11,880
of other real wacky stuff the real scary

345
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:14,639
thing for me is that it's amendable

346
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,860
so when you agree to the ogl it seems

347
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:20,220
like you are agreeing to

348
00:14:16,860 --> 00:14:22,560
like future versions of the ogl and they

349
00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:25,260
could change the terms It's Tricky and I

350
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,700
I can't imagine like tethering part of

351
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:30,240
my livelihood

352
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:33,180
to something that was by definition like

353
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:37,620
quicksand you know what I mean amorphous

354
00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:40,139
abstract yeah yeah we a a a legitimate

355
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:41,880
recent example of something similar was

356
00:14:40,139 --> 00:14:44,820
that for my place of work we were

357
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,339
signing a a contract to be a reseller

358
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:49,560
for some um let me keep it all nice and

359
00:14:47,339 --> 00:14:51,540
generic a business instant messaging

360
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,360
application that businesses can use to

361
00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:55,860
instant message their their customers

362
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:00,480
like people like us

363
00:14:55,860 --> 00:15:03,839
um and it's a big platform uh and part

364
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:06,300
of that agreement was basically like

365
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:09,000
we reserve the right to irrevocably

366
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:10,560
change and you know if we say you have

367
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,360
to stop selling it then you have to stop

368
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,740
selling it and if you we say you've got

369
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,060
to stop providing that service to your

370
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:16,800
customers then you have to stop

371
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:18,720
providing that service to your customers

372
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,459
our finance director looked through the

373
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,019
contract and was like whoa there's a lot

374
00:15:20,459 --> 00:15:25,019
of red flags in here why am I being told

375
00:15:22,019 --> 00:15:27,540
to sign this like today because same

376
00:15:25,019 --> 00:15:29,639
with people being sales people yeah I'll

377
00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:31,500
sell and he's like no no pump the brakes

378
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:32,880
I need to properly read this and take a

379
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:34,740
look and make sure we're comfortable

380
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,360
with potentially pulling the rug out

381
00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:38,480
from our customers because this now

382
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:42,120
affects us and it's it's that very

383
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:45,199
similar kind of like whoa hang on what

384
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,199
is going on

385
00:15:46,139 --> 00:15:52,019
um yeah so that's not a

386
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:54,600
a comfortable place I imagine for most

387
00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:56,579
people to sit is is that am I am I

388
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,519
standing on this rug that someone's

389
00:15:56,579 --> 00:16:01,620
already holding on to the corners of her

390
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:04,560
yeah yeah and like there are a few

391
00:16:01,620 --> 00:16:06,839
things that I'm like if it's 9 000 words

392
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,399
and you know it's only been a small

393
00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:10,260
percentage of it that's leaked and it's

394
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:12,480
people speculating on those

395
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:13,860
of the ones that have been leaked the

396
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,079
things that I'm worried about changing

397
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:18,060
I'd be scared of the idea that if I'd

398
00:16:16,079 --> 00:16:19,260
signed the license and I was using it I

399
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:20,880
was playing ball

400
00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:23,579
if they decided to take away that

401
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,680
license that would be scary but I'm also

402
00:16:23,579 --> 00:16:29,820
scared about some of the way the

403
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,500
finances and royalty stuff works it's

404
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:34,260
like when I talk about this on Twitter I

405
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:35,699
I get slammed by people saying oh Matt

406
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:37,440
don't you know that you only have to

407
00:16:35,699 --> 00:16:39,899
report your income if you're making more

408
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,420
than fifty thousand dollars from the the

409
00:16:39,899 --> 00:16:45,779
open gaming license and you only have to

410
00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:47,699
pay royalties if you're making 750

411
00:16:45,779 --> 00:16:49,620
000 but

412
00:16:47,699 --> 00:16:51,660
when I think about like why would you

413
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:54,240
have to report your income

414
00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:56,899
if you were making over 50 Grand right

415
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,519
it's because they're trying to work out

416
00:16:56,899 --> 00:17:01,860
how much lower they can make that

417
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:04,020
threshold of having like when you start

418
00:17:01,860 --> 00:17:06,600
paying royalties and what they're going

419
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:08,880
to end up with is a bunch of data that

420
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,400
will inform them on how to use this dial

421
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:15,199
to turn it to make the optimal amount of

422
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,199
money they're going to min max us

423
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:21,480
yeah squeeze the lemon to everything

424
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:23,760
yeah absolutely and so so I don't know

425
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,780
what that will feel like and when we're

426
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,600
not going to know what that will feel

427
00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:29,520
like until they get their data and

428
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,200
people start engaging with this

429
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,059
and

430
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,620
um and they twist the dial but I just

431
00:17:33,059 --> 00:17:37,320
want to add something here because I've

432
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:39,720
been telling my audience this on Twitch

433
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,880
um a lot of content creators like you

434
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,220
and me Dan we're gonna run around saying

435
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,820
the sky's falling It's like because for

436
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:49,919
us people that are publishing content or

437
00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:51,720
want to publish content and you know

438
00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:53,820
have an eye to try and make like a

439
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,100
lifestyle and business out of this stuff

440
00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:57,360
it's bad it is catastrophic for us but

441
00:17:56,100 --> 00:18:00,840
if you're just out there and you're a

442
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:02,700
fan of DnD it is not catastrophic for

443
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,740
you you know what I mean so even though

444
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:06,720
all the content creators who essentially

445
00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:08,880
are the media are going to be saying

446
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,919
everything's ruined for you personally

447
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,080
things might not be ruined it will just

448
00:18:10,919 --> 00:18:16,380
probably mean you will have less

449
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,179
third-party content and also whenever

450
00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:21,799
you mention that you play D D there

451
00:18:18,179 --> 00:18:26,900
might be someone that goes really why

452
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:30,740
have you tried the new raft finder

453
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:30,740
Dude where's my raft

454
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:37,620
that that yeah so I'm maybe I'm cynical

455
00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:40,980
in my my old age or you're crushed by

456
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:44,100
capitalism so much but as as you know

457
00:18:40,980 --> 00:18:46,080
we've talked about like if you are in

458
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:48,900
those creative circles you often hear

459
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:52,500
that like the sky is falling as you said

460
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:53,760
but I am you're very much like yeah like

461
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:55,380
you've just described basically yes and

462
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,360
know but for the millions and millions

463
00:18:55,380 --> 00:19:00,120
and millions of people out there who

464
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:02,160
if you said to them ogl even if you said

465
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:03,660
to them like a D and D they'd go I don't

466
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,740
know what that is yeah there's still

467
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:07,440
millions and millions of people out

468
00:19:04,740 --> 00:19:09,780
there that are completely

469
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,700
essentially unaffected like they just

470
00:19:09,780 --> 00:19:14,100
turn up every other week to their

471
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:15,539
friendly local gaming store somebody

472
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:17,520
runs a game for them and they go home

473
00:19:15,539 --> 00:19:19,380
and that's that's it they're there like

474
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520
that's fine they wouldn't they go go to

475
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:22,679
sleep one day wake up the next day yeah

476
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,059
nothing has changed but but can you

477
00:19:22,679 --> 00:19:25,740
imagine the moment where someone goes to

478
00:19:24,059 --> 00:19:27,840
play their adventurously game it's great

479
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:29,520
they've got a level three Ranger Rangers

480
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,559
is the best class they reckon and they

481
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,120
go into the game they start playing the

482
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:35,520
dungeon masks like okay you start the

483
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,500
town and then bam Chris Perkins kicks

484
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,600
open the door with a bad flash that he's

485
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,340
got a gun he grabs the DM and drags him

486
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,460
away and then he says you guys didn't

487
00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:46,340
see anything

488
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:48,620
rgl business get out of here

489
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:51,900
official ogl business

490
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:54,000
that's just the chair knocked over an

491
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:56,460
awkward silence it descends across the

492
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,200
room and that's the moment that Ranger

493
00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:00,200
steps up to become the dungeon master

494
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,280
that we got man I just it sounds the

495
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,840
reason I wish I was good at like drawing

496
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,360
because then I could do a webcomic and

497
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,559
then

498
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:16,140
that would be a funny uh one to do

499
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:17,520
kicking down the door it is it is really

500
00:20:16,140 --> 00:20:19,080
worrying there's there's one other thing

501
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,580
that's super worrying as well we've

502
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,620
already got no GL right we're all

503
00:20:20,580 --> 00:20:23,460
publishing under it at the moment and it

504
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:25,799
is

505
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:28,020
it's been around for 20 years uh

506
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:29,280
according to all of the videos that I've

507
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:31,320
watched because I've just been Doom

508
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,000
scrolling for like the last you know

509
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,080
four or five hours that's the only

510
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,460
reason I know anything so I forget

511
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:40,559
anything wrong blame YouTube

512
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:44,700
um but for like 20 years we've had this

513
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:47,760
ogl and it has been thought to have been

514
00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:50,700
irrevocable because it says we Grant you

515
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,740
this license for authorized works as

516
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:55,799
long as like in perpetuity meaning

517
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:59,520
forever and the contentious part that

518
00:20:55,799 --> 00:21:01,559
all these lawyers are arguing about is

519
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,299
when it says in perpetuity does that

520
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:06,120
mean that it's the license is revocable

521
00:21:03,299 --> 00:21:09,120
or is the license irrevocable and you

522
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:11,460
can find any commentator online that

523
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:13,919
will tell you either it is revocable or

524
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:17,220
it is irrevocable but in the sky's

525
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:19,679
falling version we're going okay they're

526
00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:21,840
going to take away our ability to use

527
00:21:19,679 --> 00:21:23,760
the old license which we're currently

528
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,440
publishing under and say the only

529
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:30,240
license that's valid now is now 1.1 and

530
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,640
there are so many things down that are

531
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,740
published under that original license

532
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,539
not just my stuff not just your

533
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:38,820
prospective stuff not just like your

534
00:21:36,539 --> 00:21:42,780
Chris Perkins webcomic it's a fun

535
00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:45,720
Pathfinder uses the ogl okay there's the

536
00:21:42,780 --> 00:21:48,179
Dark Souls 5e supplement uses cogl

537
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,820
there's the Lord of the Rings 5e

538
00:21:48,179 --> 00:21:52,980
supplement that uses the ogl and I heard

539
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:54,840
my friend Anto from Icarus games he's

540
00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:57,000
dooming Gloom about it he's from Wales

541
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:01,799
so that makes sense

542
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:04,200
um he said that if Wizards of the Coast

543
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,940
have the right to publish content using

544
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,039
the stuff that you publish using their

545
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:12,000
1.1 ogl

546
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:14,700
if a company like the that that has the

547
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,159
license to the the Tolkien stuff and is

548
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:18,960
using the ogl if they accept the terms

549
00:22:17,159 --> 00:22:21,120
of the 1.1 does that mean that with the

550
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,059
coast can now start doing Middle Earth

551
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:26,520
stuff and like that sounds wacky so

552
00:22:24,059 --> 00:22:27,960
probably not but

553
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,120
I don't know I guess that's just a

554
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,240
testament to how imprecise of a picture

555
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:36,780
we have at the moment yes yeah and I I'm

556
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,940
always reticent to to come and too much

557
00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:40,980
on these kind of amorphous ever-changing

558
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:42,659
things but I think in this instance

559
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:45,000
there is enough

560
00:22:42,659 --> 00:22:47,340
eyes on it those who obviously more

561
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,559
knowledgeable than the newer eye uh on

562
00:22:47,340 --> 00:22:51,840
on the kind of uh legal leads that's

563
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:54,179
used in these kind of things that it

564
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,480
warrants these these kind of discussions

565
00:22:54,179 --> 00:22:58,860
and I did see on on I was going to say

566
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,299
any scrolling at the moment is Doom

567
00:22:58,860 --> 00:23:01,679
scrolling regarding this stuff so like

568
00:23:00,299 --> 00:23:02,640
you can't don't feel bad about it

569
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:04,679
because you go anywhere at the moment

570
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,440
and then it's there but somebody I think

571
00:23:04,679 --> 00:23:09,600
Ginny D she tweeted something that was

572
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,159
like talking about it as we are and

573
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,960
somebody said oh perhaps you'll go and

574
00:23:11,159 --> 00:23:14,700
enjoy Pathfinder now and she replied

575
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,520
with like you know what Pathfinder uses

576
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:19,080
right yeah

577
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,480
and I was like oh yeah that's

578
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:24,900
yeah that's again a bigger impact than I

579
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,059
was uh perhaps anticipating it's it's

580
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:28,080
far it's far-reaching I did see a

581
00:23:27,059 --> 00:23:29,820
commentator

582
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,980
I can't remember her name I hadn't seen

583
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:34,799
before she had a great video but her

584
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:38,520
perspective was that there are a lot of

585
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:40,320
books and products that use the ogl just

586
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,559
slap it in the back of their book as

587
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:45,659
kind of like a a Fail-Safe or like the

588
00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:48,240
courtesy even if they might not

589
00:23:45,659 --> 00:23:50,460
necessarily not have needed to because

590
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,799
part of the promises are it was like Hey

591
00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:54,720
if you put this on your stuff we're not

592
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:56,220
going to sue you okay don't worry this

593
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,080
is your protection against us we're

594
00:23:56,220 --> 00:23:59,880
never going to ask anything of you we're

595
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,760
not going to see you and now it seems

596
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:04,820
like oh

597
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:08,220
oh SpaghettiOs

598
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:11,000
I I'd I would hate to be in that

599
00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:12,960
position if it is retro retroactively

600
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,280
anything that goes back and changes

601
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,320
stuff that's already happened annoys me

602
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,240
to begin with because it's like

603
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,679
that stuff's happened his water under

604
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,840
the bridge so I hate him in the vision

605
00:24:19,679 --> 00:24:23,760
to have an exhaustive backlog of

606
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,860
Adventures published and then be like oh

607
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:29,820
do I have to go and take them all down

608
00:24:25,860 --> 00:24:33,559
now is that something that has to yeah

609
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:33,559
well I hate to be you then

610
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:39,059
um yeah because of that like

611
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:43,500
one thing that irks me and I know again

612
00:24:39,059 --> 00:24:47,179
this is me being naive but for for end

613
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:49,919
users for end customers things should be

614
00:24:47,179 --> 00:24:53,400
relatively intuitive and relatively easy

615
00:24:49,919 --> 00:24:54,960
I get annoyed whenever in any part of my

616
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,280
life when things are harder than they

617
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,200
should be like buying insurance and

618
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,400
stuff like that when you have to do

619
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,659
complicated things or jump through

620
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,220
complicated Loops I'm like this should

621
00:25:00,659 --> 00:25:04,620
this shouldn't be like this this should

622
00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:08,159
just be easy for me like the business is

623
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:12,179
here for me so I I'd hate I hate now to

624
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:15,419
have to be like oh I have to get like an

625
00:25:12,179 --> 00:25:16,919
a level a GCSE in in law to be able to

626
00:25:15,419 --> 00:25:20,220
understand whether I can make my stupid

627
00:25:16,919 --> 00:25:23,220
goofy bear punching thing now like

628
00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:26,100
that's just not easy it should be

629
00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:28,020
yes I understand there's licenses and

630
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:29,340
copyrights I'm not that dumb I

631
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:30,240
understand there needs to be some level

632
00:25:29,340 --> 00:25:32,220
of

633
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,299
safety net for both for all parties

634
00:25:32,220 --> 00:25:37,140
involved

635
00:25:33,299 --> 00:25:40,919
but it should be in plain language that

636
00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:43,020
doesn't make you second guess and go to

637
00:25:40,919 --> 00:25:45,419
bed worrying whether Hasbro are going to

638
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:47,340
be knocking on the other one demanding

639
00:25:45,419 --> 00:25:51,299
your tax revenue for the last 10 years

640
00:25:47,340 --> 00:25:54,120
like though this this like current there

641
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:57,299
is a state of confusion at the moment

642
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:59,580
um and that's not like by Design right

643
00:25:57,299 --> 00:26:02,039
this is this is a leak and not even a

644
00:25:59,580 --> 00:26:05,700
complete leak and it might not even be a

645
00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:07,559
leak of like the final document what if

646
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:09,740
we got the April Fool's version or

647
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:09,740
something

648
00:26:09,779 --> 00:26:16,020
um because like I bet that if Hasbro or

649
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,520
Wizards could have done their PR the way

650
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:20,159
they wanted to

651
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:23,700
um even if it was the same information

652
00:26:20,159 --> 00:26:26,279
it would feel less bad because what

653
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:28,740
feels bad at the moment is just not

654
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:29,700
knowing so before I pull the trigger on

655
00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:32,340
like

656
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:34,740
you know hiring some editors to start

657
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:37,500
making generic versions of my content

658
00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:39,000
like yeah sister agnostic versions I'm

659
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:41,279
waiting to hear Wizards of the Coast

660
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,419
release a statement and if that

661
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,020
statement's like

662
00:26:42,419 --> 00:26:47,700
we're coming for your Perko

663
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:49,860
specifically you by name I think I do

664
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:53,299
think in one of those 9 000 words says

665
00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:53,299
Matthew P is there

666
00:26:54,299 --> 00:26:59,400
um I I did I did hear a proper tinfall

667
00:26:57,659 --> 00:27:00,140
hat theory if you want to get down that

668
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,700
route

669
00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:04,440
as as with every leak ever there's

670
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:06,059
always the group that say oh it was a

671
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,460
deliberate you know imagine it was a

672
00:27:06,059 --> 00:27:12,120
deliberate leak and they they've leaked

673
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:14,279
it to test the waters of how well it

674
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,419
would be received yeah and then they go

675
00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:16,679
when they actually release it then go

676
00:27:15,419 --> 00:27:18,900
okay well that went down like a

677
00:27:16,679 --> 00:27:22,440
shipwreck yeah it's like Joe Kelly two

678
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:24,299
of us will get uh if this is if this is

679
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,620
them doing that then this is equals one

680
00:27:24,299 --> 00:27:27,240
of that episode of SpongeBob where he

681
00:27:25,620 --> 00:27:29,220
rips his pants and he's trying to like

682
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:33,120
make people laugh and at one point he

683
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:34,320
goes pretending to drown no because it's

684
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:36,720
not funny because he got in trouble

685
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,840
heading to drown at the beach this is a

686
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,159
pretending the drown moment yeah

687
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,740
that's that's pretty wild because

688
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:46,880
remember a couple of weeks ago maybe for

689
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:51,419
like a month ago there was a previous

690
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:53,640
speculation about there being no ogl no

691
00:27:51,419 --> 00:27:57,500
open gaming license for sixth edition

692
00:27:53,640 --> 00:28:01,500
and people started this open DND

693
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:03,360
to say no we want an open and free DND

694
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:05,220
um Wizards needs to address our concerns

695
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:07,140
about whether it's going to be an ogl

696
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:10,679
and wizards came out with a statement on

697
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:12,240
DND Beyond uh really kind of alleviating

698
00:28:10,679 --> 00:28:14,279
a lot of our fears and directly

699
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,620
addressing our concerns but the weird

700
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:20,340
thing is about this leak is that parts

701
00:28:16,620 --> 00:28:24,299
of it contradict what they were saying

702
00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:27,419
and so I'll be really curious to see

703
00:28:24,299 --> 00:28:28,140
what their statement is on this one

704
00:28:27,419 --> 00:28:31,340
um

705
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:34,140
also I want to know who leaked it so bad

706
00:28:31,340 --> 00:28:36,679
surprise uh no that would be that now

707
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:38,640
that would be an expose

708
00:28:36,679 --> 00:28:41,640
that's what I should be working on maybe

709
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,600
yeah but

710
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,799
um

711
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,960
I finally should mentioned that because

712
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:48,120
it has been a roller coaster for last

713
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,020
yeah probably about eight weeks in total

714
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,760
of

715
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:52,980
oh my God the world's gonna end actually

716
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,900
no that's that was all wrong and it's

717
00:28:52,980 --> 00:28:56,279
totally okay and we're probably gonna be

718
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:57,720
fine to oh my God no the world's gonna

719
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:59,400
end but in a slightly different way now

720
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,900
to then

721
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,360
well actually we don't know anything and

722
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:04,919
maybe maybe we'll be fine again so it

723
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,700
has been

724
00:29:04,919 --> 00:29:10,320
tricky keeping up and again in these

725
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:13,380
social network

726
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,539
you know circles you sometimes it can be

727
00:29:13,380 --> 00:29:17,100
very one-sided and doom and gloom so it

728
00:29:15,539 --> 00:29:19,440
is hard to kind of see the wood for the

729
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:22,799
trees as it were sometimes oh oh yeah I

730
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:25,740
look I think I think most of the the

731
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:28,919
feeling and the chatter is just a

732
00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:30,120
symptom of flight what happens on social

733
00:29:28,919 --> 00:29:32,039
media

734
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,279
um I do have their statement from their

735
00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:37,200
first thing open now

736
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:39,000
I'm just scanning through it to see if

737
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,700
there's anything in here that I was like

738
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,760
oh I was comforted by that

739
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,760
um

740
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,500
like he's another weird thing

741
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:55,679
so it was called an open gaming license

742
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:57,419
because there was no communication

743
00:29:55,679 --> 00:29:59,760
needed between you and wizard as a coast

744
00:29:57,419 --> 00:30:01,440
for you to use this license here is a

745
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,240
bit of paper all you need to do to

746
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,419
accept this bit of paper is put this bit

747
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,120
of paper in your thing right now it is

748
00:30:06,419 --> 00:30:10,980
not an open gaming license because you

749
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,440
actually have to accept the license

750
00:30:10,980 --> 00:30:15,059
terms you have to register with with

751
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,260
this as a coast because there's a

752
00:30:15,059 --> 00:30:18,360
potential that you're going to have to

753
00:30:16,260 --> 00:30:20,580
tell them what you're working on you're

754
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,140
going to have to tell them uh how much

755
00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:23,700
you're making if you're making over 50

756
00:30:22,140 --> 00:30:25,320
grand

757
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:29,340
um and you're also going to have to put

758
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,659
their badge on your thing made with ogl

759
00:30:29,340 --> 00:30:33,000
or whatever like I think you would

760
00:30:30,659 --> 00:30:35,220
actually have to feature that on the

761
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,419
cover probably or the spine somewhere if

762
00:30:35,220 --> 00:30:37,860
it's what I imagine

763
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:39,000
and like there are some things that I'm

764
00:30:37,860 --> 00:30:41,220
concerned about as well as a video

765
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,659
commentator specifically because I can

766
00:30:41,220 --> 00:30:44,520
look at this and go oh that makes sense

767
00:30:42,659 --> 00:30:48,240
I'm not allowed to publish printable

768
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:49,799
bookie content about stuff right but if

769
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,940
I homebrew something because I'm still

770
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:53,580
going to be home brewing stuff I'm still

771
00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:55,260
remaking up rules am I allowed to talk

772
00:30:53,580 --> 00:30:57,960
about those rules that I've made up on a

773
00:30:55,260 --> 00:30:59,940
YouTube video or on a stream or

774
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,640
something like that or does that count

775
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:03,670
as publishing rules or like their

776
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,000
verbiage

777
00:31:03,670 --> 00:31:08,820
[Music]

778
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:11,120
yeah I I that stuff thinking about that

779
00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:14,340
stuff scares me yeah

780
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,860
like I I wanted to say like I'm not

781
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:19,679
that naive I get it right I get the

782
00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:22,260
money man at Hasbro have definitely over

783
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:24,240
the last 12 months been like guys

784
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:25,740
there was a huge huge huge Market out

785
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,260
there that you're that's using your

786
00:31:25,740 --> 00:31:30,360
stuff in a way like you should make

787
00:31:28,260 --> 00:31:32,880
money off of it like it completely you

788
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,039
know remove the emotion from the

789
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,779
equation like I I get it that's what

790
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:38,640
businesses do that's their they're not

791
00:31:36,779 --> 00:31:41,340
businesses otherwise they exist to make

792
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,200
profit so I I get it if there was a big

793
00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:46,200
bunch of money over there that

794
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,240
Somebody went hey down alone somebody's

795
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,919
using your thing and making a shitload

796
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,360
of money off of it do you want some of

797
00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:54,360
that money

798
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,860
maybe I'd go yeah and I think if you ask

799
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,520
people a lot of that they probably would

800
00:31:55,860 --> 00:32:02,820
say yeah you know it's the same way that

801
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,140
everybody gets a lot stick rightly so

802
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:05,640
for

803
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:07,919
we have it in the UK a lot like tax

804
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,419
evasion you know people make make loads

805
00:32:07,919 --> 00:32:10,200
of money and then their accountants do

806
00:32:09,419 --> 00:32:13,559
some

807
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,799
creativity uh actions and then suddenly

808
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:18,480
they they pay less tax and they get

809
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:20,580
rightfully in the most part thrown under

810
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,080
the bus for it but I think if you took

811
00:32:20,580 --> 00:32:24,179
most British people

812
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,520
and said hey

813
00:32:24,179 --> 00:32:28,679
you're making 10 million pounds do you

814
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:31,020
want to make essentially more because

815
00:32:28,679 --> 00:32:33,240
you'd be tankless for basically doing

816
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:35,820
nothing they'd probably go yeah

817
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,140
I think brass tacks especially in this

818
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:39,120
current economic climate they probably

819
00:32:37,140 --> 00:32:40,740
would say you know what yeah it's a bit

820
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,140
immoral but who's it hurt and nobody

821
00:32:40,740 --> 00:32:44,220
fine and they probably would or at least

822
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:46,260
you don't get into their position of

823
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:48,179
making that money without

824
00:32:46,260 --> 00:32:51,539
being the kind of person that would say

825
00:32:48,179 --> 00:32:53,520
yes so I can see why

826
00:32:51,539 --> 00:32:55,559
Hasbro are doing this because it's just

827
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,600
there's just so much there is so much

828
00:32:55,559 --> 00:33:00,659
money there to be made like if you think

829
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:03,200
of of the business of critical role who

830
00:33:00,659 --> 00:33:05,279
are just now their own monolithic

831
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,840
business machine because they they had

832
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:08,100
their own controversy recently right uh

833
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,419
well last year at some point around

834
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:12,299
there

835
00:33:09,419 --> 00:33:13,740
stuff I seem to recall there was some oh

836
00:33:12,299 --> 00:33:16,140
yeah that's a good that's a good thing

837
00:33:13,740 --> 00:33:17,940
to talk about uh yeah I I do know about

838
00:33:16,140 --> 00:33:19,559
their license agreement with their their

839
00:33:17,940 --> 00:33:21,000
fan content let's talk about that a bit

840
00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:24,360
later because I reckon critical role

841
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,700
that'll lead to its own whole tangent

842
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:29,039
and I didn't I wanted to go back to

843
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:31,980
something you just said sure about how

844
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:34,440
some people would go yeah well to be

845
00:33:31,980 --> 00:33:37,140
fair I would like to pay less tax even

846
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,019
if it is a bit immoral like in the same

847
00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:42,000
way yeah can't fault Hasbro Wizards the

848
00:33:40,019 --> 00:33:44,220
coast for doing this here's something

849
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,480
that I do trust

850
00:33:44,220 --> 00:33:49,980
um about corporate corporate entities

851
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,860
they are looking out for their best

852
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:55,320
interests in the sense that like

853
00:33:52,860 --> 00:33:56,640
um they probably have some data they

854
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,140
probably have some evidence they would

855
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,640
have had to make a business case for

856
00:33:58,140 --> 00:34:01,919
literally everything they've done

857
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,140
including desk assessment and they've

858
00:34:01,919 --> 00:34:07,980
gone you know what it's worth it and

859
00:34:04,140 --> 00:34:11,460
what I wonder is the current Fallout

860
00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:13,200
did they predict this like is it are we

861
00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:15,659
still within the threshold of they they

862
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,639
went like no this is part of it this is

863
00:34:15,659 --> 00:34:19,200
part of the the pain that we're going to

864
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:21,419
have to go through or like have we

865
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,740
exceeded it and if we did exceed the

866
00:34:21,419 --> 00:34:24,899
amount of pain that they'd predicted in

867
00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:27,659
whatever risk assessment they've done

868
00:34:24,899 --> 00:34:29,040
um I wonder if they would stop or they

869
00:34:27,659 --> 00:34:31,800
would keep going like a sunk cost

870
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,960
fallacy and

871
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,760
like I wonder if they they imagine this

872
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,159
as being like now it's going to be

873
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,899
unpopular it's going to be a PR hit

874
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:41,580
because

875
00:34:39,899 --> 00:34:44,599
I don't think

876
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:47,099
that even like the most zealous

877
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:49,020
employee at Hasbro wizard of the coast

878
00:34:47,099 --> 00:34:51,839
would look at this and go people are

879
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:54,080
going to love this one second time for

880
00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:54,080
Christmas

881
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:56,940
um I don't think anybody's saying that I

882
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,440
think they're saying okay we've got to

883
00:34:56,940 --> 00:35:00,720
sell this we've got to we've got to put

884
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,400
like a positive face on this one but I

885
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:03,720
wonder if they went this is going to be

886
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,260
a PR hit

887
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:09,480
and they didn't realize oh this is gonna

888
00:35:06,260 --> 00:35:12,300
actually like be disruptive this is

889
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,740
gonna disrupt this ecosystem because

890
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:16,220
that's what it feels like this feels

891
00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:19,140
like an environmental disaster

892
00:35:16,220 --> 00:35:20,660
oh yeah I feel like somebody's suing the

893
00:35:19,140 --> 00:35:23,720
Great Barrier Reef

894
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:23,720
you know

895
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:32,220
it is hard to these these these big

896
00:35:29,579 --> 00:35:34,079
machines and and I've also seen people

897
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:35,579
talk about it in the same way of like

898
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:37,140
magic the Gathering has already gone

899
00:35:35,579 --> 00:35:41,359
through this pain and we are now just

900
00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:44,280
like oh second what what happened there

901
00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:46,260
maybe not the same for same but I think

902
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,880
Magic the Gathering is now in a a

903
00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:49,380
similar case where because people said

904
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,140
you can still enjoy D with that with

905
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:54,900
that with out endorsing

906
00:35:52,140 --> 00:35:56,460
Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro yeah

907
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:57,900
because people already do that for Magic

908
00:35:56,460 --> 00:36:00,000
the Gathering because that's all that

909
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:02,099
that's already been through maybe not a

910
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,260
similar situation but a similar kind of

911
00:36:02,099 --> 00:36:06,839
bastardization of the core kind of

912
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:09,720
original principles so now not that I'm

913
00:36:06,839 --> 00:36:11,760
into MTG that much but there is branded

914
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:14,400
and licensed sets of

915
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,440
cards for Lord of the Rings like for

916
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,180
Warhammer for everything under the sun

917
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,320
yeah you can get like a 40K Magic the

918
00:36:18,180 --> 00:36:21,839
Gathering deck that's somehow

919
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,520
inexplicably works with the rest of the

920
00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:26,280
magic the Gathering stuff so that has

921
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,220
been to use an impolite term like poured

922
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,500
out again just to make that kind of

923
00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:34,380
stuff so it's similar things have

924
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:36,060
already been been done so there's I

925
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:40,200
haven't my vision of his head this old

926
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:41,960
like grade wizard MTG players that are

927
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:45,180
like

928
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,859
getting too old for this well that that

929
00:36:45,180 --> 00:36:50,940
you know that noose around the neck

930
00:36:46,859 --> 00:36:52,740
first time like yeah oh oh yeah it's

931
00:36:50,940 --> 00:36:54,839
it's already you know there's a

932
00:36:52,740 --> 00:36:57,540
precedent has been set in a way

933
00:36:54,839 --> 00:36:59,579
um with with the money they have

934
00:36:57,540 --> 00:37:02,460
probably found themselves over the last

935
00:36:59,579 --> 00:37:04,079
five years of going whoa it's exploded

936
00:37:02,460 --> 00:37:05,700
over the last five years and suddenly

937
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:09,180
everybody loves it and we're making a

938
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:11,060
shitload of money they've probably had

939
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:13,800
experts they've probably had you know

940
00:37:11,060 --> 00:37:16,200
paid the obnoxiously expensive marketing

941
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,640
and PR people to come in to say like no

942
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,380
this will be

943
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:22,260
you know as you said you're gonna be

944
00:37:19,380 --> 00:37:24,780
taking a hit on this but as you said

945
00:37:22,260 --> 00:37:26,940
profit and loss or you know um the risk

946
00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:29,760
you know the risk is you're gonna take a

947
00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:31,260
hit but your return on investment is two

948
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,820
years and then suddenly you're laughing

949
00:37:31,260 --> 00:37:36,119
all the way to the bank for the rest of

950
00:37:32,820 --> 00:37:38,700
time then yeah like go ahead there are

951
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:39,900
two things that I look up that I

952
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:40,920
probably won't need but I think about

953
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:43,200
them a lot because it's super

954
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,240
interesting one is

955
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,460
strategy for when you win the lottery

956
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:48,839
what you should what should you do and

957
00:37:47,460 --> 00:37:51,180
like if you've done the same thing where

958
00:37:48,839 --> 00:37:53,700
you go like I want to see it's a fun

959
00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:56,040
thought experiment to have it's so funny

960
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:58,619
like depressing at the same time get a

961
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,780
lawyer you know give them like a stipend

962
00:37:58,619 --> 00:38:02,099
or like a bank of cash and get your

963
00:38:00,780 --> 00:38:03,660
family and friends if they want money

964
00:38:02,099 --> 00:38:06,540
they get it through the lawyer and the

965
00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:08,880
lawyer is impartial you know just gives

966
00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:10,380
about 10 grand to each person a year you

967
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,820
know and that's it don't tell anybody

968
00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:13,500
you won the lottery all that kind of

969
00:38:11,820 --> 00:38:15,180
stuff don't change your lifestyle I love

970
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,020
that yeah the other one I think about is

971
00:38:15,180 --> 00:38:18,839
like

972
00:38:16,020 --> 00:38:20,820
do what would I do if like everybody on

973
00:38:18,839 --> 00:38:22,440
the internet like hated me like what if

974
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:24,780
I accidentally became Twitter's main

975
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,280
character for a day like being dad or

976
00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:27,839
something because that guy didn't see

977
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,280
that coming right he was telling a story

978
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:33,599
about his daughter trying to open a can

979
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:35,520
of beans and he got obliterated yeah

980
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:38,760
and the strategy that I've seen for like

981
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:41,760
if you are being publicly shamed is to

982
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,380
just ignore it go away for a week come

983
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,480
back a week later

984
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:47,880
pretend everything's fine eventually

985
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,619
somebody else will mess up and they'll

986
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,980
become the main character and you're

987
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:53,880
always got free so like the idea of them

988
00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:56,400
going

989
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,680
look in two years we'll go to the

990
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,980
Winchester this will all blow over you

991
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,960
know because I reckon that would work

992
00:39:01,980 --> 00:39:05,160
yeah yeah absolutely there's a there's

993
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,320
an Always Sunny episode that's around

994
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,599
the 24 hour news cycle and they just

995
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,220
yeah and they're just like

996
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:13,619
as long as we don't [ __ ] up in the next

997
00:39:11,220 --> 00:39:15,359
24 hours we'll be we'll be fine but then

998
00:39:13,619 --> 00:39:17,040
the point of the show is they keep like

999
00:39:15,359 --> 00:39:19,200
they just keep resetting the clock goes

1000
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,780
up another 24 hours because that's

1001
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,940
something more horrible has happened

1002
00:39:21,780 --> 00:39:25,859
um but yeah no absolutely uh that is a

1003
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:28,440
thing and and you do see it especially

1004
00:39:25,859 --> 00:39:30,599
on on Twitter you do see people be the

1005
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,040
villain of the week and everybody hates

1006
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:35,339
them and there are nine million block

1007
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:38,640
lists and then seven days later it's

1008
00:39:35,339 --> 00:39:41,220
nothing really has has changed uh it

1009
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,960
works and whether yeah you know

1010
00:39:41,220 --> 00:39:45,720
that is I think I think a 24-hour news

1011
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:49,020
cyclist is a legitimate PR like that is

1012
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:50,180
a known thing it's yeah just a parody

1013
00:39:49,020 --> 00:40:00,320
here

1014
00:39:50,180 --> 00:40:00,320
[Music]

1015
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:08,099
so I wanted to do background to to for

1016
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:09,960
me personally so again put this through

1017
00:40:08,099 --> 00:40:12,300
my my filter of

1018
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,460
uh you know naivety and and the

1019
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:15,660
ignorance to a certain extent

1020
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:18,180
um of

1021
00:40:15,660 --> 00:40:21,200
like this this podcast let's get let's

1022
00:40:18,180 --> 00:40:23,040
go meta for a second oh okay yeah yeah

1023
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,099
it's not

1024
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,839
uh monetized in that that I run ads

1025
00:40:26,099 --> 00:40:29,460
mainly because I don't know how but

1026
00:40:27,839 --> 00:40:32,280
we'll cover that on another episode

1027
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:34,200
we'll cross that bridge later but like

1028
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,960
no one's paying I don't pay anybody else

1029
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,579
to do it it is just just little of me

1030
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,320
there's no

1031
00:40:38,579 --> 00:40:43,320
the cash flow in there's no cash flow

1032
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:46,079
out it's all just me download as an

1033
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:49,140
individual so

1034
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:51,119
it me you might in naive brain says I

1035
00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:53,760
should be okay but then that feels like

1036
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:57,660
maybe maybe not now with this new crazy

1037
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:59,760
scary 1.1 on on my Horizon

1038
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:02,400
I look I think like directly I think

1039
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,560
you'll be okay but what's frustrating is

1040
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,940
the uncertainty and like the idea that

1041
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,119
stuff could change

1042
00:41:05,940 --> 00:41:11,099
in the future and I don't think wizard

1043
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:13,140
of the coast are villains they're not

1044
00:41:11,099 --> 00:41:15,240
trying to hurt people they're trying to

1045
00:41:13,140 --> 00:41:16,280
make money yes people are in the way of

1046
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:18,900
that

1047
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:21,119
you know people always in the way trying

1048
00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:23,520
to make money get out of the way of my

1049
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:26,940
money

1050
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,339
um and like like I said like no moral

1051
00:41:26,940 --> 00:41:31,440
side in them for trying to to do that

1052
00:41:29,339 --> 00:41:34,099
that's well within their rights

1053
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,660
but let's talk about critical role yeah

1054
00:41:34,099 --> 00:41:38,040
so I did think that as well like in in

1055
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:40,020
obviously over the last couple of weeks

1056
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,579
because obviously the biggest

1057
00:41:40,020 --> 00:41:45,060
monetary

1058
00:41:41,579 --> 00:41:46,980
benefactor from doing their ears

1059
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:48,839
critical role I think probably by a huge

1060
00:41:46,980 --> 00:41:51,839
margin I can't think of any other

1061
00:41:48,839 --> 00:41:54,060
private or third party that are making

1062
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:55,560
there's probably some authors or

1063
00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:57,119
licensed other other you know like

1064
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,740
Forbidden Planet or something that are

1065
00:41:57,119 --> 00:42:00,240
making money somehow off of it but

1066
00:41:58,740 --> 00:42:02,760
that's something that Springs to mind

1067
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:06,060
it's obviously who's only in over 50k

1068
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:10,920
absolutely absolutely is it's critical

1069
00:42:06,060 --> 00:42:13,440
role ink yeah so like they

1070
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,060
vary the very scared or very not scared

1071
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,380
again because of this uncertainty right

1072
00:42:15,060 --> 00:42:19,700
are they it's either a huge thing or

1073
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:23,940
maybe maybe they get some special

1074
00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:25,980
swerve yeah they've absolutely got a uh

1075
00:42:23,940 --> 00:42:27,839
bespoke license because one thing that

1076
00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:29,820
they said is that all of the big

1077
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:32,099
companies and creators for example

1078
00:42:29,820 --> 00:42:34,140
fantasy Grands roll20 Kickstarter

1079
00:42:32,099 --> 00:42:36,359
critical role probably

1080
00:42:34,140 --> 00:42:39,180
um and maybe some other big ones some

1081
00:42:36,359 --> 00:42:40,859
Partners they have bespoke licenses with

1082
00:42:39,180 --> 00:42:43,260
bespoke terms oh okay and we're never

1083
00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:45,660
going to know what those terms are but

1084
00:42:43,260 --> 00:42:49,079
if I were CEO of critical role beat boy

1085
00:42:45,660 --> 00:42:51,900
Travis Willingham I would be

1086
00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:53,940
frustrated because the more money you

1087
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:56,280
have in something the more you value

1088
00:42:53,940 --> 00:42:58,500
stability and the more you're willing to

1089
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,940
pay for stability we was talking about

1090
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:01,319
earlier about how critical role had

1091
00:42:59,940 --> 00:43:05,940
their own controversy around their

1092
00:43:01,319 --> 00:43:07,619
license agreement and it was the The Fan

1093
00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:10,980
content agreement it was and they've got

1094
00:43:07,619 --> 00:43:13,260
a really generous fan fan content uh uh

1095
00:43:10,980 --> 00:43:15,359
thing going on but what they were saying

1096
00:43:13,260 --> 00:43:17,460
is within the first three or four days

1097
00:43:15,359 --> 00:43:19,740
of an episode of critical world coming

1098
00:43:17,460 --> 00:43:21,240
out we don't want people to talk about

1099
00:43:19,740 --> 00:43:23,400
it like we don't want people to post

1100
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:25,319
spoilers and stuff like that and that's

1101
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,880
similar to like what the NFL does like

1102
00:43:25,319 --> 00:43:30,000
the gridir in American football stuff

1103
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:33,359
they have some kind of rebroadcasting or

1104
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,099
or like some embargo on clips for like

1105
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:36,300
24 hours or something after a game I

1106
00:43:35,099 --> 00:43:38,280
don't know exactly

1107
00:43:36,300 --> 00:43:39,960
but that felt like overreaching to me

1108
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,940
just because it's like hey you got the

1109
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,020
biggest Dungeons and Dragons show in the

1110
00:43:41,940 --> 00:43:46,020
world and we're not allowed to talk

1111
00:43:43,020 --> 00:43:47,040
about it come on come on

1112
00:43:46,020 --> 00:43:48,480
um

1113
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,300
but

1114
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:53,339
critical role my question is

1115
00:43:51,300 --> 00:43:54,780
at what point do they go we value

1116
00:43:53,339 --> 00:43:57,900
stability

1117
00:43:54,780 --> 00:43:59,760
so much that we're willing to go we're

1118
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:01,859
going to make our own game or we're

1119
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:05,160
gonna start to

1120
00:44:01,859 --> 00:44:08,460
separate from the front

1121
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,079
oh yeah oh that is a

1122
00:44:08,460 --> 00:44:13,800
yeah I wouldn't like to be in that

1123
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:16,260
boardroom for sure uh when do we when do

1124
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,240
we make that leap because absolutely

1125
00:44:16,260 --> 00:44:20,700
they could you know they've got design

1126
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:23,099
heads between them to to make their own

1127
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:24,839
system or whatnot so they could

1128
00:44:23,099 --> 00:44:27,480
absolutely do that and then what can be

1129
00:44:24,839 --> 00:44:29,700
completely disassociate themselves

1130
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,460
from that brand oh that is a

1131
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:35,160
that is a pros and cons spreadsheet that

1132
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:38,040
I'd like to see here yeah well have you

1133
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,880
heard how paiso and path down Pathfinder

1134
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,900
came around

1135
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:45,240
because was that second e to 30 was that

1136
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:47,520
is that one The Great Divide I think it

1137
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:49,200
was I think I think with third fourth ah

1138
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,420
okay right and that was it was that a

1139
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,599
similar situation I vaguely remember now

1140
00:44:51,420 --> 00:44:57,240
I don't know exactly but I do know that

1141
00:44:54,599 --> 00:45:00,060
there was some element of Licensing

1142
00:44:57,240 --> 00:45:01,980
involved right but they went well we

1143
00:45:00,060 --> 00:45:03,780
like Third Edition if you're gonna make

1144
00:45:01,980 --> 00:45:05,880
fourth edition we're gonna make our

1145
00:45:03,780 --> 00:45:07,380
version of Third Edition and so I can

1146
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,079
imagine critical role

1147
00:45:07,380 --> 00:45:12,780
saying look hey but we like this

1148
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:15,060
loosey-goosey style of role-playing

1149
00:45:12,780 --> 00:45:18,060
stuff so we're gonna make our version of

1150
00:45:15,060 --> 00:45:19,680
that and then if critical role make a

1151
00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:22,380
game man it's just the Pathfinder but

1152
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,940
for fifth edition

1153
00:45:22,380 --> 00:45:25,079
um and that'd be cool you know because

1154
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:26,940
they could do it really well they've got

1155
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:28,260
their own publishing Branch they've got

1156
00:45:26,940 --> 00:45:29,700
um the Darrington press they put out

1157
00:45:28,260 --> 00:45:31,740
board games and stuff they've got design

1158
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:34,380
heads like you said

1159
00:45:31,740 --> 00:45:36,780
um they've got the marketing and media

1160
00:45:34,380 --> 00:45:39,060
presence to actually sell it yeah they

1161
00:45:36,780 --> 00:45:40,940
put a lot of Goodwill yeah I reckon that

1162
00:45:39,060 --> 00:45:43,400
would be cool

1163
00:45:40,940 --> 00:45:45,599
is like

1164
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:49,020
can you imagine if I came out and it was

1165
00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:51,319
like way more restrictive we want 75 of

1166
00:45:49,020 --> 00:45:51,319
that dollar

1167
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:56,520
uh there's in for a penny in for a pound

1168
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,900
uh so [ __ ] it double down yeah give me

1169
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,700
the penny and the pound

1170
00:45:57,900 --> 00:46:01,680
um

1171
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:04,980
if you see your stuff with Kickstarter

1172
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:07,260
what for the ogl or yeah isn't it it's

1173
00:46:04,980 --> 00:46:09,440
their preferred all those that's their

1174
00:46:07,260 --> 00:46:12,660
preferred crowdfunding platform right

1175
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,359
yeah yeah so the the people at

1176
00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:18,180
Kickstarter on Twitter I saw they

1177
00:46:15,359 --> 00:46:19,920
negotiated with Wizards on the new ogl

1178
00:46:18,180 --> 00:46:23,339
because at the moment if you make over

1179
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:27,780
750 000 on every dollar that got above

1180
00:46:23,339 --> 00:46:29,420
that threshold you're paying 25 percent

1181
00:46:27,780 --> 00:46:31,740
um so

1182
00:46:29,420 --> 00:46:33,960
Kickstarter negotiated with us to get

1183
00:46:31,740 --> 00:46:34,800
that down on Kickstarter for to 20

1184
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,740
percent

1185
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,240
right and so but if you crowdfund on any

1186
00:46:37,740 --> 00:46:41,520
other platform

1187
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:44,640
um you should get shot to full 25 it

1188
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:46,980
kicks out of the 20 and someone at some

1189
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,380
point was saying oh yeah so that means

1190
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:50,700
that they've negotiated a kickback for

1191
00:46:49,380 --> 00:46:52,560
themselves they get to keep the five

1192
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:55,859
percent but Kickstarter came out and

1193
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:57,359
said no no no we negotiated that on

1194
00:46:55,859 --> 00:46:59,940
behalf of

1195
00:46:57,359 --> 00:47:01,800
you know creators this is Wizards of the

1196
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:04,200
Coast license

1197
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,180
um and we were just advocating for

1198
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,579
um for for you we're not taking making

1199
00:47:06,180 --> 00:47:10,319
any money off it because in fact I bet

1200
00:47:08,579 --> 00:47:12,060
as a result of the ogl there's going to

1201
00:47:10,319 --> 00:47:13,560
be fewer

1202
00:47:12,060 --> 00:47:15,359
um things that are made and Kickstarter

1203
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,819
that's going to make less money yeah I

1204
00:47:15,359 --> 00:47:19,200
think I think everybody except Wizards

1205
00:47:17,819 --> 00:47:20,339
is going to make less money there won't

1206
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,780
be anyone that makes more money from

1207
00:47:20,339 --> 00:47:25,380
this no

1208
00:47:21,780 --> 00:47:29,160
no just well yeah the money they would

1209
00:47:25,380 --> 00:47:31,980
have made go somewhere else yeah

1210
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,440
now I've never I've got an episode on

1211
00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:36,380
Kickstarter nevermind again we'll find

1212
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,160
out you can go to think

1213
00:47:36,380 --> 00:47:39,839
Kickstarter and you can listen to about

1214
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,520
marketing and stuff on there

1215
00:47:39,839 --> 00:47:43,260
um but

1216
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,540
I I haven't used it myself obviously

1217
00:47:43,260 --> 00:47:46,980
I've I've I'm literally waiting for the

1218
00:47:45,540 --> 00:47:48,180
next couple of weeks for my Frost Haven

1219
00:47:46,980 --> 00:47:50,040
to be delivered to my door which was

1220
00:47:48,180 --> 00:47:51,960
backed through Kickstarter and now we've

1221
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:54,180
reached the limit of my experience with

1222
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,920
with that crowdfunding platform

1223
00:47:54,180 --> 00:47:58,079
I would like to give them the benefit of

1224
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:01,079
the doubt and say there was no Shady

1225
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:03,359
Kickback and backdoor dealings and and

1226
00:48:01,079 --> 00:48:05,760
so on and so on if that is the case then

1227
00:48:03,359 --> 00:48:08,339
that is great because

1228
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,079
when somebody think of the children uh

1229
00:48:08,339 --> 00:48:13,020
and

1230
00:48:09,079 --> 00:48:15,660
somebody is in this instance but what

1231
00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:17,700
that brings to mind is ironically

1232
00:48:15,660 --> 00:48:20,220
Kickstarter itself was part of its own

1233
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:22,740
villain of the week episode maybe the

1234
00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:23,579
year before last when it was around

1235
00:48:22,740 --> 00:48:27,240
um

1236
00:48:23,579 --> 00:48:30,240
their proposed use of the blockchain

1237
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:32,819
and they were then the villain for a

1238
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:34,260
week and a half and then everyone jumped

1239
00:48:32,819 --> 00:48:36,180
ship from Kickstarter Never Gonna use

1240
00:48:34,260 --> 00:48:38,640
again horrible blah blah to then going

1241
00:48:36,180 --> 00:48:40,260
to use Becker kit was the other one that

1242
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,300
yeah we hate the blockchain and we'll

1243
00:48:40,260 --> 00:48:44,280
never use it and then everyone went to

1244
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:45,240
use back a kit uh and again in a similar

1245
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,099
situation to how we kind of find

1246
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:49,440
ourselves in now where

1247
00:48:47,099 --> 00:48:51,119
most people aren't

1248
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,400
wouldn't even know the difference

1249
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:55,500
because oh this this is a cool watch on

1250
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:58,020
Kickstarter fine here's ten dollars and

1251
00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:59,640
I'm none the wiser so that you know yeah

1252
00:48:58,020 --> 00:49:02,220
that was a similar situation but it just

1253
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,900
it just the parallels made me a wry

1254
00:49:02,220 --> 00:49:05,640
smile appeared across my face when I did

1255
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:08,160
read about that that they've negotiated

1256
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,319
there and I was like oh yeah people did

1257
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,339
hate them though so now maybe they're

1258
00:49:10,319 --> 00:49:13,560
just trying to win back some of that

1259
00:49:11,339 --> 00:49:16,920
that will they lost a year and a half

1260
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:19,020
ago well it is it is tricky like like

1261
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,720
we're saying earlier it's not the end of

1262
00:49:19,020 --> 00:49:23,700
the world to be unpopular uh you can be

1263
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:26,040
drastically unpopular as well and

1264
00:49:23,700 --> 00:49:28,200
someone's gonna like it it's crazy it's

1265
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,900
crazy when I say when they say it all

1266
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:34,260
news is good news I don't think I say

1267
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:39,060
that nobody said that no it's no news

1268
00:49:34,260 --> 00:49:40,500
it's good news oh no wait no no well

1269
00:49:39,060 --> 00:49:42,240
definitely no news is good news there's

1270
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,980
definitely one but I feel like there is

1271
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,319
one that's like you do it all news is

1272
00:49:43,980 --> 00:49:48,000
good news well maybe not maybe not that

1273
00:49:46,319 --> 00:49:50,180
verbatim but there is one that's like

1274
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,740
all publicity is

1275
00:49:50,180 --> 00:49:54,359
there's no such thing as bad publicity

1276
00:49:52,740 --> 00:49:57,140
there we go that's what we got there at

1277
00:49:54,359 --> 00:50:00,359
the end we crowdsourced that we did

1278
00:49:57,140 --> 00:50:02,000
we did we did thank you for doing most

1279
00:50:00,359 --> 00:50:04,800
of the heavy lifting on that

1280
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:08,160
that's that boy the brain is doing there

1281
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:09,599
it is I had a good ice block so people

1282
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,220
are going to do that thing like they're

1283
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:14,160
doing with Twitter like oh Elon Musk has

1284
00:50:11,220 --> 00:50:16,920
bought Twitter I'm gonna go to Hive you

1285
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:20,220
know and hives Hive is absolute dog [ __ ]

1286
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:22,260
it sucks barely works right and

1287
00:50:20,220 --> 00:50:24,000
everybody's just so smug and happy to be

1288
00:50:22,260 --> 00:50:26,160
there so people are going to do the same

1289
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,660
thing with d and d I'm gonna go play

1290
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,700
something else but it's like that person

1291
00:50:27,660 --> 00:50:34,079
said to Ginny D now you're going to try

1292
00:50:29,700 --> 00:50:36,300
Pathfinder right Pathfinder uses zogl so

1293
00:50:34,079 --> 00:50:37,079
there's gonna be something some indie

1294
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:38,940
game

1295
00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:43,319
or a bunch of indie games that come up

1296
00:50:38,940 --> 00:50:45,180
and people are gonna be like fractured

1297
00:50:43,319 --> 00:50:46,740
and the community is going to go a whole

1298
00:50:45,180 --> 00:50:48,660
bunch of different ways the people that

1299
00:50:46,740 --> 00:50:51,180
do decide to jump ship

1300
00:50:48,660 --> 00:50:54,240
do you think do you I don't know much

1301
00:50:51,180 --> 00:50:56,520
about other ttrpgs but if you do know of

1302
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:59,700
any do you like what do you reckon could

1303
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:02,579
be a contender to like of each some of D

1304
00:50:59,700 --> 00:51:06,540
D's lunch do you reckon oh man I don't

1305
00:51:02,579 --> 00:51:09,000
know do you reckon it exists yet or not

1306
00:51:06,540 --> 00:51:11,819
I would say no not now you talked about

1307
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,460
maybe you know critical role doing their

1308
00:51:11,819 --> 00:51:16,800
own thing that that would be the one in

1309
00:51:14,460 --> 00:51:19,079
my opinion that would be that would be

1310
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,400
any any kind of close and you've seen I

1311
00:51:19,079 --> 00:51:22,020
can't recall off top of my head but I've

1312
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:25,200
seen charts you know like market share

1313
00:51:22,020 --> 00:51:28,500
charts in the past of ttrpgs and it's

1314
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:31,440
like 70 is is you know like an

1315
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:32,640
obnoxiously large amount is is DND you

1316
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,839
know the stuff you only get when you

1317
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,880
talk about like

1318
00:51:33,839 --> 00:51:37,800
apple is

1319
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,359
50 you know even Apple has less share of

1320
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,000
the smartphone market than

1321
00:51:39,359 --> 00:51:43,980
Wizards due with d d of the ttrpg market

1322
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,680
which is saying which is saying

1323
00:51:43,980 --> 00:51:50,339
something so no not not from the

1324
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:53,280
experience I've had one one good thing I

1325
00:51:50,339 --> 00:51:54,960
like about d d being so ubiquitous is

1326
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,000
it's kind of like a baseline

1327
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,640
understanding of it gives everybody a

1328
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,339
baseline understanding of ttrpgs so like

1329
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:05,940
yeah if someone's played any anything

1330
00:52:02,339 --> 00:52:07,980
else they'll know what a D20 is you know

1331
00:52:05,940 --> 00:52:10,619
versus somebody who's never played any

1332
00:52:07,980 --> 00:52:12,000
ttrpgs so there's there's you know

1333
00:52:10,619 --> 00:52:13,680
everybody knows about it everyone kind

1334
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,079
of gets skill checks and ability checks

1335
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,119
and and it's this kind of fundamental

1336
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:20,579
Baseline understanding for you know does

1337
00:52:18,119 --> 00:52:22,800
have a benefit of being that that's one

1338
00:52:20,579 --> 00:52:24,059
benefit of it being that ubiquitous and

1339
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,980
there's also a discussion of people you

1340
00:52:24,059 --> 00:52:28,319
know oh people never want to try any

1341
00:52:25,980 --> 00:52:29,880
other ttrpgs kazoo they have to learn

1342
00:52:28,319 --> 00:52:31,440
something new and I'm like well yeah you

1343
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,880
do have to learn something new

1344
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,980
I hate the people that say that though

1345
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,980
it's like oh what why are you trying to

1346
00:52:34,980 --> 00:52:39,720
make D and D do this kind of story when

1347
00:52:37,980 --> 00:52:42,180
you're playing this RPG that is

1348
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:44,880
specifically made to do that kind of

1349
00:52:42,180 --> 00:52:47,520
story and it's only a page long and

1350
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:49,920
there's no support for it and nobody

1351
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:53,040
plays it and nobody plays it five other

1352
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:55,020
people how to play it yeah because like

1353
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,000
I know what I'm gonna do every every

1354
00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:58,619
other Sunday I'm gonna go and the Five

1355
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,599
Guys I play with we're all

1356
00:52:58,619 --> 00:53:02,339
you know have the same knowledge with

1357
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:03,780
absolutely the same place if I go guys

1358
00:53:02,339 --> 00:53:05,640
sit down and listen to me talk for three

1359
00:53:03,780 --> 00:53:07,380
hours while I talk and explain how this

1360
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,240
new thing looks that's not

1361
00:53:07,380 --> 00:53:10,859
that's not fun and

1362
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:12,960
people say

1363
00:53:10,859 --> 00:53:15,240
that like trying to teach refugees and

1364
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:19,079
other stuff I have I bought the alien

1365
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:21,000
Starter Set uh and I went I'm never

1366
00:53:19,079 --> 00:53:22,260
gonna play this because I have to

1367
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,640
remember all these rules and then I'm

1368
00:53:22,260 --> 00:53:26,460
gonna have to teach five other people

1369
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,960
all these rules that have got no

1370
00:53:26,460 --> 00:53:31,160
experience

1371
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:33,480
very little willingness to to try that

1372
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,420
in everybody's busy schedules of life

1373
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:38,339
it's like well

1374
00:53:35,420 --> 00:53:40,140
man you've reminded me something like d

1375
00:53:38,339 --> 00:53:43,920
d so ubiquitous that I saw something on

1376
00:53:40,140 --> 00:53:45,839
the ttrpg uh subreddit and like

1377
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,520
whichever sublet it is that they go we

1378
00:53:45,839 --> 00:53:50,940
want to make our own systems and our own

1379
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:53,040
rules like ttrpg design or something

1380
00:53:50,940 --> 00:53:55,380
um and there was a post that somebody

1381
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,599
made like a year ago but they were

1382
00:53:55,380 --> 00:54:00,180
talking about how

1383
00:53:57,599 --> 00:54:02,040
if you're publishing an RPG it's not a

1384
00:54:00,180 --> 00:54:04,559
bad idea to include a paragraph right at

1385
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,599
the start how is this different from DND

1386
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:08,760
how does it compare because immediately

1387
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:10,859
if you just put your rules and your

1388
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:14,099
system in that frame if you go even

1389
00:54:10,859 --> 00:54:15,780
let's go this is less crunchy than DND

1390
00:54:14,099 --> 00:54:17,280
you're going to need fewer Dice and the

1391
00:54:15,780 --> 00:54:18,480
games are shorter like that's helpful

1392
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:21,540
immediately I know what you're talking

1393
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:25,140
about with the changes to the ogl

1394
00:54:21,540 --> 00:54:26,520
you can't do that if you have an ogl you

1395
00:54:25,140 --> 00:54:28,859
can't do that

1396
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,859
you can't even compare you can't even

1397
00:54:28,859 --> 00:54:34,319
say Dungeons and Dragons that's why so

1398
00:54:31,859 --> 00:54:38,099
many osr products don't say D and D

1399
00:54:34,319 --> 00:54:40,859
they'll say 5e or like if they're

1400
00:54:38,099 --> 00:54:42,780
referring to a to fifth edition they'll

1401
00:54:40,859 --> 00:54:44,040
say 5e or 3E because that's not the

1402
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:47,300
trademark

1403
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:49,619
it's D and D yeah oh God yeah

1404
00:54:47,300 --> 00:54:54,300
I'm quite sentimental about it man like

1405
00:54:49,619 --> 00:54:57,660
I like I do like DND and if I imagine a

1406
00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:59,400
worst case scenario for the company I

1407
00:54:57,660 --> 00:55:00,440
don't think that there will be any kind

1408
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,059
of

1409
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:05,700
catastrophic form no four wizard of the

1410
00:55:03,059 --> 00:55:08,520
Coast or d d whatever but like if it

1411
00:55:05,700 --> 00:55:10,260
became no longer popular or if every

1412
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,099
time you talked about it you had someone

1413
00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:12,839
going

1414
00:55:11,099 --> 00:55:14,280
while you're playing that aren't those

1415
00:55:12,839 --> 00:55:16,800
the bad guys

1416
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,619
don't hurt like I do like DND because

1417
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:22,559
it's DND I do like the brand name you

1418
00:55:19,619 --> 00:55:24,000
know I do like the Legacy I've got all

1419
00:55:22,559 --> 00:55:25,440
the I don't have all the Third Edition

1420
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,700
books I've got almost all the Third

1421
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,740
Edition books all the fourth edition

1422
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:32,339
books all the fifth edition books I've

1423
00:55:28,740 --> 00:55:34,500
got a spattering of second edition books

1424
00:55:32,339 --> 00:55:36,900
um I've got a couple of like relics of

1425
00:55:34,500 --> 00:55:38,280
like sometimes I will go on like our

1426
00:55:36,900 --> 00:55:40,640
equivalent of Craigslist it's called

1427
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:44,220
Gumtree in Australia and I will buy

1428
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:46,319
scraps of RPG books like in the same way

1429
00:55:44,220 --> 00:55:47,460
that people have a box full of cables in

1430
00:55:46,319 --> 00:55:50,339
their home they don't know what it's for

1431
00:55:47,460 --> 00:55:52,079
I buy the scrap of pages of RPG things

1432
00:55:50,339 --> 00:55:54,180
this is a book to cook top tour and a

1433
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:57,000
half and it's got things built on it and

1434
00:55:54,180 --> 00:55:59,160
I've got all these like map posters of

1435
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,559
Raven Loft like the whole continent not

1436
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,819

um I've got like the whole thing and

1438
00:56:02,819 --> 00:56:07,859
I've got these posters of like

1439
00:56:06,059 --> 00:56:10,079
um really serious looking Adams Family

1440
00:56:07,859 --> 00:56:11,880
Style families on the back it says this

1441
00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:14,700
character is a werewolf and this this

1442
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:16,800
one um died at the age of 13 team we

1443
00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:18,660
came back as a ghost like all this like

1444
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,400
real old school stuff and I don't know

1445
00:56:18,660 --> 00:56:23,099
what these products are for it's just

1446
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:28,260
part of this ongoing story that we've

1447
00:56:23,099 --> 00:56:30,960
been telling for like 50 years and now

1448
00:56:28,260 --> 00:56:34,740
we have somebody kind of trying to swing

1449
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:36,420
that sentimentality that real thing

1450
00:56:34,740 --> 00:56:39,240
that exists they're swinging it like a

1451
00:56:36,420 --> 00:56:41,040
club and they're making money off it and

1452
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:43,020
it hurts it's hurtful

1453
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,980
you know it's sad

1454
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:47,400
um

1455
00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:50,400
that said we don't know the 100 of it

1456
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,720
but when I imagine it going bad I get

1457
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,460
sad about it

1458
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:55,140
um

1459
00:56:53,460 --> 00:56:57,319
that's just what you want for rainy

1460
00:56:55,140 --> 00:56:59,819
January uh

1461
00:56:57,319 --> 00:57:02,520
thanks Wizards

1462
00:56:59,819 --> 00:57:05,700
the one the one final thing I wanted to

1463
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,900
I wanted to talk about uh that is off of

1464
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:08,460
the back of something we talked about

1465
00:57:06,900 --> 00:57:10,260
earlier on about I think we almost

1466
00:57:08,460 --> 00:57:14,640
opened it with you know I've made this

1467
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:16,020
NPC is that now them there to use and I

1468
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,640
do remember reading over the past couple

1469
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:19,980
days people trying to

1470
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,660
that again is this is the kind of stuff

1471
00:57:19,980 --> 00:57:23,940
that frustrates me is when you get into

1472
00:57:21,660 --> 00:57:26,460
this weird murky like oh but how have

1473
00:57:23,940 --> 00:57:28,619
you defined you know you can copyright X

1474
00:57:26,460 --> 00:57:31,980
but you can't copyright why but why is

1475
00:57:28,619 --> 00:57:35,160
covered by IP and there's this whole

1476
00:57:31,980 --> 00:57:37,260
discussion now about like you about what

1477
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,859
game rules that was a game mechanics so

1478
00:57:37,260 --> 00:57:42,720
you can't game mechanics can't be

1479
00:57:39,859 --> 00:57:44,220
copyrighted again don't quote me on that

1480
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,420
and take me to court but I think if

1481
00:57:44,220 --> 00:57:46,700
memory serves that's what they were

1482
00:57:45,420 --> 00:57:49,619
saying so like

1483
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:51,599
what constitutes game mechanics and you

1484
00:57:49,619 --> 00:57:54,540
get into it this this murky world of

1485
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:57,180
like well ability scores and and that

1486
00:57:54,540 --> 00:57:58,680
are such an intrinsic part of b d that

1487
00:57:57,180 --> 00:58:00,540
they could be copyrighted because they

1488
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,819
now are kind of like part of the brand

1489
00:58:00,540 --> 00:58:04,740
but other things aren't quite that big

1490
00:58:02,819 --> 00:58:07,800
so like just rolling a D20 for example

1491
00:58:04,740 --> 00:58:09,420
can't be copyrighted and like the fact

1492
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,359
that that kind of worms is opened that

1493
00:58:09,420 --> 00:58:15,480
annoys me that that is tricky I've heard

1494
00:58:12,359 --> 00:58:17,700
that same thing said in like I don't

1495
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,500
watch much osr content I only watch

1496
00:58:17,700 --> 00:58:21,720
questing Beast because I don't play to

1497
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:23,880
myself stuff but I just I just like the

1498
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,380
way questing Beast presents his stuff

1499
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,220
and it's fun

1500
00:58:25,380 --> 00:58:27,839
um even though I sometimes don't

1501
00:58:26,220 --> 00:58:29,520
understand it

1502
00:58:27,839 --> 00:58:31,500
um but that's something that he said he

1503
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:34,440
said look you can't copyright game rules

1504
00:58:31,500 --> 00:58:36,420
at some point and maybe he's right I

1505
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,400
don't know but I imagine even if that

1506
00:58:36,420 --> 00:58:41,160
were true you still could copyright the

1507
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,839
verbiage of it right so if the the

1508
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,760
common wisdom I've heard is oh you can

1509
00:58:42,839 --> 00:58:48,359
use the game rules but you just can't

1510
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:51,420
use their their wording of it so I would

1511
00:58:48,359 --> 00:58:54,059
imagine you could have a system of

1512
00:58:51,420 --> 00:58:55,260
ability scores and modifiers skill

1513
00:58:54,059 --> 00:58:57,780
checks and ability checks and attack

1514
00:58:55,260 --> 00:58:59,339
rolls but you could not call them any of

1515
00:58:57,780 --> 00:59:01,559
those

1516
00:58:59,339 --> 00:59:08,180
um it would have to be a violence check

1517
00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:10,680
and uh uh uh an aptitude role here

1518
00:59:08,180 --> 00:59:12,000
I don't I don't even know if that's true

1519
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,400
that's like

1520
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,500
my current imagination of what it's

1521
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,119
going to be yeah and that's also what

1522
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:20,040
I'm going to have to do to all of my

1523
00:59:18,119 --> 00:59:23,400
content if

1524
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:26,780
um they decide to revoke the 1.1 sorry

1525
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,780
the 1.0 OTL

1526
00:59:27,020 --> 00:59:31,920
it's just such a pain and again at that

1527
00:59:29,819 --> 00:59:33,660
point you're just like if people are

1528
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:36,000
doing systems that are just

1529
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:38,640
the dindi rule book passed through an AI

1530
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,680
to thesaurus eyes and uh it's in the

1531
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,540
numerize all those words then it's like

1532
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,180
just pointless it's just a waste of time

1533
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:47,839
like yeah it's like it's not even D

1534
00:59:45,180 --> 00:59:51,859
anymore it's just Ampersand like

1535
00:59:47,839 --> 00:59:51,859
what is this where's my content

1536
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,440
um

1537
00:59:53,099 --> 00:59:57,119
I I'm trying to think like how could I

1538
00:59:55,440 --> 01:00:00,599
didn't exercise the stuff I had in mind

1539
00:59:57,119 --> 01:00:03,660
one one chapter and those who follow my

1540
01:00:00,599 --> 01:00:04,920
my campaign uh and that did get streamed

1541
01:00:03,660 --> 01:00:06,960
it was

1542
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:09,720
that could be genericized because it was

1543
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:11,099
some time Loop thing I ran where all the

1544
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,500
characters were stripped of their

1545
01:00:11,099 --> 01:00:16,799
abilities and Magic anyway so it was it

1546
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:18,359
was paired back to very Bare Bones in

1547
01:00:16,799 --> 01:00:21,000
fact that we didn't barely roll any Dice

1548
01:00:18,359 --> 01:00:22,799
and there was barely any checks and that

1549
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:26,339
was kind of the intention I wanted to do

1550
01:00:22,799 --> 01:00:28,319
so that that that might be safe

1551
01:00:26,339 --> 01:00:30,780
the other one I was doing yeah not so

1552
01:00:28,319 --> 01:00:33,440
much that one's that one's full-on like

1553
01:00:30,780 --> 01:00:36,299
there's a dragon there's a green dragon

1554
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:38,460
it exhibits these personality traits

1555
01:00:36,299 --> 01:00:40,980
that are ripped from the monster manual

1556
01:00:38,460 --> 01:00:43,079
so here's something that I want to ask

1557
01:00:40,980 --> 01:00:46,559
you though the way that you and I are

1558
01:00:43,079 --> 01:00:47,880
talking about it we are going like we've

1559
01:00:46,559 --> 01:00:49,319
we've been talking about the way we've

1560
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,599
made the foregone conclusions like well

1561
01:00:49,319 --> 01:00:53,579
we're not going to sign the new ogl but

1562
01:00:51,599 --> 01:00:55,319
is that how you feel do you see a world

1563
01:00:53,579 --> 01:00:56,940
where you would just go oh look I'll

1564
01:00:55,319 --> 01:00:58,140
just sign it screw it I'll put the badge

1565
01:00:56,940 --> 01:01:00,660
on I don't care

1566
01:00:58,140 --> 01:01:03,480
well to loot back to what I said at once

1567
01:01:00,660 --> 01:01:07,619
once if it becomes clear that

1568
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:09,839
they could just rip it and use it for

1569
01:01:07,619 --> 01:01:11,760
their own and not even basically credit

1570
01:01:09,839 --> 01:01:13,559
you to it and republish it as how they

1571
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,700
want it may have sounded earlier on like

1572
01:01:13,559 --> 01:01:17,400
I don't have any morals like I would

1573
01:01:14,700 --> 01:01:19,020
sell myself for a tax break but there is

1574
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,700
there is a there is a there is a moat

1575
01:01:19,020 --> 01:01:22,680
within me that would be like no that

1576
01:01:20,700 --> 01:01:25,260
that's my thing and I wanna I wanna keep

1577
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:27,180
it my thing and that's wrong that they

1578
01:01:25,260 --> 01:01:29,400
would do that so in that case no I would

1579
01:01:27,180 --> 01:01:30,720
I would probably be like that's I kind

1580
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:33,299
of wanted a thing to be mine I want that

1581
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,240
thing to be uniquely down low and if I

1582
01:01:33,299 --> 01:01:38,160
give it away then it's it's no longer

1583
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,540
it's out in this this weird amorphous

1584
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,760
Wilderness where

1585
01:01:39,540 --> 01:01:44,099
it can change and be repurposed and

1586
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,980
republished and God knows where it's

1587
01:01:44,099 --> 01:01:48,960
going to end up uh I would perhaps try

1588
01:01:46,980 --> 01:01:50,520
and genericize it but again I have the

1589
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,799
benefit of

1590
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:56,460
being lazy and having not written much

1591
01:01:52,799 --> 01:01:58,380
so well and not just anything I I want

1592
01:01:56,460 --> 01:02:00,960
to I want to test your feelings on this

1593
01:01:58,380 --> 01:02:02,099
I want to test your morals so at the

1594
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,799
moment the way you're imagining is like

1595
01:02:02,099 --> 01:02:06,180
well they could use it any way they want

1596
01:02:04,799 --> 01:02:08,220
right they don't even have to credit me

1597
01:02:06,180 --> 01:02:10,260
what if they did have to credit with you

1598
01:02:08,220 --> 01:02:13,200
would you be okay with that

1599
01:02:10,260 --> 01:02:15,059
yeah yeah that would be a lot better I'm

1600
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:18,059
I'm I am in my business life my

1601
01:02:15,059 --> 01:02:19,619
professional life a huge huge proponent

1602
01:02:18,059 --> 01:02:21,540
of transparency and credit where

1603
01:02:19,619 --> 01:02:22,799
credit's due I'm very much a you know I

1604
01:02:21,540 --> 01:02:24,960
want to be a leader and not manager so

1605
01:02:22,799 --> 01:02:26,700
like hey the team did this not me I just

1606
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,200
told them when it had to be done by some

1607
01:02:26,700 --> 01:02:30,900
like the credit goes to them and not to

1608
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:32,940
me so that Cascades down into this kind

1609
01:02:30,900 --> 01:02:34,740
of stuff where

1610
01:02:32,940 --> 01:02:38,280
the credit is due to me then [ __ ]

1611
01:02:34,740 --> 01:02:41,099
give it to me yeah man what about this

1612
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:43,200
imagine if they went it goes both ways

like why are they doing that

1665
01:04:54,839 --> 01:04:58,400

is a 9 000 Word document Scrolls up on

1671
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:16,579
the cinema screen and you have to sit

1672
01:05:13,380 --> 01:05:16,579
there and watch it yeah

1673
01:05:18,020 --> 01:05:23,579
there's all these mums and partners that

1674
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:25,260
are like what the [ __ ] is that

1675
01:05:23,579 --> 01:05:27,180
and like the four nerds in the cinema

1676
01:05:25,260 --> 01:05:29,040
they're like nope this is very important

1677
01:05:27,180 --> 01:05:30,299
this is important if we honestly if you

1678
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,819
blink you are going straight to prison

1679
01:05:30,299 --> 01:05:35,160
do you have any do you have any

1680
01:05:32,819 --> 01:05:37,920
predictions like like is this final

1681
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,960
final thoughts like what do you think

1682
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:42,660
will happen like we can maim and

1683
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,180
catastrophize and enjoy the drama of you

1684
01:05:42,660 --> 01:05:46,740
know slagging off Wizards of the Coast

1685
01:05:45,180 --> 01:05:47,819
but like what do you think will actually

1686
01:05:46,740 --> 01:05:49,500
happen

1687
01:05:47,819 --> 01:05:52,140
as with most things that we kind of

1688
01:05:49,500 --> 01:05:54,420
touched upon a lot of it's going to be

1689
01:05:52,140 --> 01:05:55,980
a a storm and a teacup and now I don't

1690
01:05:54,420 --> 01:05:57,480
want to say that and belittle people

1691
01:05:55,980 --> 01:05:59,220
such as yourselves who are going to be

1692
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,980
you know people's lives are affected by

1693
01:05:59,220 --> 01:06:03,599
this ruined yes yeah I don't wanna I

1694
01:06:01,980 --> 01:06:06,180
don't wanna you know downplay that just

1695
01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:10,200
for the for the record I don't want to

1696
01:06:06,180 --> 01:06:11,940
downplay that but as a cultural icon as

1697
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:15,599
a thing that people do on a regular

1698
01:06:11,940 --> 01:06:17,339
basis as we've said that is not gonna

1699
01:06:15,599 --> 01:06:20,880
change you know there'll still be d d

1700
01:06:17,339 --> 01:06:23,760
clubs yeah in my local Town they'll

1701
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:25,319
still be kids throwing dice barely

1702
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,579
understanding the rules but having a

1703
01:06:25,319 --> 01:06:28,520
great time which is the most important

1704
01:06:26,579 --> 01:06:31,500
thing in DND

1705
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:33,900
6e1 whatever you want to call it that is

1706
01:06:31,500 --> 01:06:35,339
still going to happen despite the the

1707
01:06:33,900 --> 01:06:37,440
Twitter poll I saw recently that was

1708
01:06:35,339 --> 01:06:40,200
like are you going elsewhere 95 of

1709
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:41,819
people saying yes right probably

1710
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:45,420
probably not

1711
01:06:41,819 --> 01:06:46,680
um like that there is very much that so

1712
01:06:45,420 --> 01:06:49,980
yes

1713
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:51,119
is it world changing no is money gonna

1714
01:06:49,980 --> 01:06:54,839
go

1715
01:06:51,119 --> 01:06:56,640
left when it was going right yeah but

1716
01:06:54,839 --> 01:07:00,180
uh some people such as yourself gonna

1717
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:02,760
have to be a little bit more worried and

1718
01:07:00,180 --> 01:07:07,339
scared for yourselves yes and I'm sorry

1719
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:10,440
to hear that but maybe maybe I'm too

1720
01:07:07,339 --> 01:07:12,660
corporate into capitalistic minded and

1721
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:14,460
and to say like that's maybe we've had

1722
01:07:12,660 --> 01:07:16,140
the gravy train too long and they've

1723
01:07:14,460 --> 01:07:18,059
we've gotten away with it for free for

1724
01:07:16,140 --> 01:07:19,980
too long and now it's just the reality

1725
01:07:18,059 --> 01:07:21,000
of pretty much anything else like if I

1726
01:07:19,980 --> 01:07:22,680
wanted to use

1727
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,660
an Apple product

1728
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:27,660
like if I made an app

1729
01:07:24,660 --> 01:07:29,819
for the App Store they take they take

1730
01:07:27,660 --> 01:07:31,140
photos how much they take 50 I don't

1731
01:07:29,819 --> 01:07:32,579
know it's probably some obnoxiously high

1732
01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:36,839
amount isn't it that the Apple Store

1733
01:07:32,579 --> 01:07:39,059
take for apps on there and there's this

1734
01:07:36,839 --> 01:07:41,039
how different is it to that if I make a

1735
01:07:39,059 --> 01:07:43,740
module for DND

1736
01:07:41,039 --> 01:07:45,240
that completely uses everything that has

1737
01:07:43,740 --> 01:07:46,020
been provided by somebody else apart

1738
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:50,460
from

1739
01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:53,339
my creative input then yeah 25 I don't

1740
01:07:50,460 --> 01:07:55,500
know I'd need to check the cup similar

1741
01:07:53,339 --> 01:07:58,020
things take so

1742
01:07:55,500 --> 01:08:01,380
I don't know maybe I'm too cynical and

1743
01:07:58,020 --> 01:08:02,819
too been brainwashed by capitalism to

1744
01:08:01,380 --> 01:08:04,859
see but

1745
01:08:02,819 --> 01:08:07,200
it's in it at the very least it's

1746
01:08:04,859 --> 01:08:09,539
interesting and I'm interested to see

1747
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:13,020
what's gonna happen it is interesting

1748
01:08:09,539 --> 01:08:16,080
yeah and even though like um

1749
01:08:13,020 --> 01:08:18,779
I feel sentimental about d d

1750
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:21,060
if if they've made analysis and gone

1751
01:08:18,779 --> 01:08:23,400
this is the correct thing

1752
01:08:21,060 --> 01:08:24,719
they're probably right it's just that

1753
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:27,839
they want something different that I

1754
01:08:24,719 --> 01:08:30,420
want you know what I mean and so even if

1755
01:08:27,839 --> 01:08:31,759
it I think it will be worse for me no

1756
01:08:30,420 --> 01:08:34,440
matter what

1757
01:08:31,759 --> 01:08:35,880
maybe imagine if they've done analysis

1758
01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:37,679
and when overall this will be better for

1759
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,480
the hobby imagine if they've they've

1760
01:08:37,679 --> 01:08:41,279
worked that out imagine if they're right

1761
01:08:39,480 --> 01:08:45,779
even if they were true it would still be

1762
01:08:41,279 --> 01:08:50,160
worse for me but like I

1763
01:08:45,779 --> 01:08:52,560
don't trust their intent but I do trust

1764
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:55,020
their

1765
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:57,299
um ability to execute on their intent if

1766
01:08:55,020 --> 01:08:59,580
that makes sense yeah I don't think

1767
01:08:57,299 --> 01:09:01,259
they're doing a stupid thing I just

1768
01:08:59,580 --> 01:09:03,839
don't know what their goal is right yeah

1769
01:09:01,259 --> 01:09:05,400
or like well I'm not sharing their goal

1770
01:09:03,839 --> 01:09:06,960
and that's okay you know I don't think

1771
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,040
it's a moral what they're doing uh I

1772
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,319
just think it's

1773
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:12,420
something that's gonna suck for me for a

1774
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:16,080
little bit but dude I'm like a I'm like

1775
01:09:12,420 --> 01:09:18,000
a rat I'm tenacious somehow you know I'm

1776
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:21,060
still around

1777
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:24,380
that that's what I always say like I me

1778
01:09:21,060 --> 01:09:27,480
stupid little rainy England man

1779
01:09:24,380 --> 01:09:30,540
does not have yourself writing and good

1780
01:09:27,480 --> 01:09:32,339
rainy England man yep

1781
01:09:30,540 --> 01:09:34,319
I need to update the thinking critically

1782
01:09:32,339 --> 01:09:36,719
buyer now to be like it's run by Rainey

1783
01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:38,400
England Man Down Below uh

1784
01:09:36,719 --> 01:09:41,040
because self-quoting is totally not

1785
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:44,100
arrogant at all um

1786
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:47,279
uh like I who am I to say I know better

1787
01:09:44,100 --> 01:09:49,980
than teams of exceptionally well paid

1788
01:09:47,279 --> 01:09:51,299
data analysts and marketers and MPR

1789
01:09:49,980 --> 01:09:53,219
people like

1790
01:09:51,299 --> 01:09:54,000
after it give the benefit of the doubt

1791
01:09:53,219 --> 01:09:56,040
to

1792
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,420
these huge companies that they know like

1793
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,679
they're not deliberately throwing

1794
01:09:57,420 --> 01:10:00,660
themselves under the bus like there's

1795
01:09:58,679 --> 01:10:02,580
they're not deliberately trying to

1796
01:10:00,660 --> 01:10:05,100
sabotage their own business

1797
01:10:02,580 --> 01:10:06,780
many very clever people with huge stakes

1798
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:10,020
in the game have said

1799
01:10:06,780 --> 01:10:12,239
overall this should be positive for at

1800
01:10:10,020 --> 01:10:14,040
least our bank accounts if not

1801
01:10:12,239 --> 01:10:15,840
their bank accounts are based on people

1802
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:19,140
spending money so

1803
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:22,260
they want more people to spend money so

1804
01:10:19,140 --> 01:10:24,920
it just is as you said those pesky

1805
01:10:22,260 --> 01:10:24,920
people on the way

1806
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:29,040
uh that is all often the case

1807
01:10:27,719 --> 01:10:29,940
unfortunately

1808
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,780
um

1809
01:10:29,940 --> 01:10:34,679
but I'm glad that you are in your

1810
01:10:32,780 --> 01:10:37,560
characteristic High Spirits around it

1811
01:10:34,679 --> 01:10:39,179
that that makes me happy oh sweet man

1812
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,820
yeah I've got a plan I think it'll just

1813
01:10:39,179 --> 01:10:44,100
be a really bad

1814
01:10:41,820 --> 01:10:45,679
bit of time like the labor of having to

1815
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:47,640
genericize things will be actually

1816
01:10:45,679 --> 01:10:49,199
frustrating and difficult and there's

1817
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,760
going to be things I can't genericize

1818
01:10:49,199 --> 01:10:52,199
there's gonna be things that I've paid

1819
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,900
for and worked for and sold and people

1820
01:10:52,199 --> 01:10:56,520
like that I'm gonna have to just Turf

1821
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:59,640
because I'm like there's no way I can

1822
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:01,500
genericize this Paladin subclass yeah

1823
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,179
you know

1824
01:11:01,500 --> 01:11:06,000
um I just wonder how much time they'll

1825
01:11:03,179 --> 01:11:07,739
give me to do that yeah because there

1826
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,300
has been comments uh you know looking at

1827
01:11:07,739 --> 01:11:11,400
the article and stuff where it's like oh

1828
01:11:09,300 --> 01:11:14,520
this is released next week so

1829
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:15,900
do do the thing now like I've seen that

1830
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,100
as well but like I'm not going to do

1831
01:11:15,900 --> 01:11:18,719
anything until Wizards released a

1832
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:21,000
statement oh yeah yeah absolutely yeah

1833
01:11:18,719 --> 01:11:23,400
until that comes out yeah doing the

1834
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,440
subclasses just quickly um

1835
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,640
have also been with another previous

1836
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:29,040
guest of the show I have been working on

1837
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:31,800
some like parody

1838
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:33,420
subclasses that are like jokes of some

1839
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,040
other thing we've been working on

1840
01:11:33,420 --> 01:11:37,260
um you know other popular culture things

1841
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,940
so like not really legitimate like the

1842
01:11:37,260 --> 01:11:41,940
balance and stuff because

1843
01:11:38,940 --> 01:11:41,940
so

1844
01:11:42,050 --> 01:11:45,360
[Laughter]

1845
01:11:44,159 --> 01:11:46,860
um but they are you know they're not

1846
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,380
meant to be taken into like your super

1847
01:11:46,860 --> 01:11:51,120
gritty campaign yeah they haven't been

1848
01:11:49,380 --> 01:11:53,060
released yet and now I'm like oh

1849
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:55,739
I guess maybe

1850
01:11:53,060 --> 01:11:57,480
maybe that has the stop which would be a

1851
01:11:55,739 --> 01:11:59,580
shame uh because again there's no way

1852
01:11:57,480 --> 01:12:02,280
the whole point of the joke is that it's

1853
01:11:59,580 --> 01:12:05,340
done up like a serious face DND you know

1854
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:09,420
subclass and it's oh I guess now maybe

1855
01:12:05,340 --> 01:12:12,140
we wouldn't be able to do that uh

1856
01:12:09,420 --> 01:12:14,340
but that's using the SRD and like that

1857
01:12:12,140 --> 01:12:16,320
the person I was working with was very

1858
01:12:14,340 --> 01:12:18,120
much like if we stick to SRD then you

1859
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,500
know you can't use that spell and I've

1860
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,360
gone I don't know what the [ __ ] I'm

1861
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:24,540
doing so sorry I just do some random

1862
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:26,520
spells but I understand now um

1863
01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:28,500
and then we'll be fine but even that is

1864
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,900
now like put into question of as you

1865
01:12:28,500 --> 01:12:33,840
said like as soon as you use Paladin

1866
01:12:30,900 --> 01:12:35,400
that's it that's whoops you're you're in

1867
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,900
the same bucket as everybody in the same

1868
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,580
ship as everyone else I'm gonna have

1869
01:12:36,900 --> 01:12:39,659
instead of a paladin subclass I'm gonna

1870
01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:43,440
have to do a

1871
01:12:39,659 --> 01:12:47,600
power friend uh

1872
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:47,600
uh Pala friend variant

1873
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:52,800
yeah yeah

1874
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:55,679
holy Warrior guys I almost said cleric

1875
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:58,440
can't say that do you reckon you could

1876
01:12:55,679 --> 01:13:00,780
use an AI to go like I'm going to plug

1877
01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:03,000
in my subclass that I wrote and just go

1878
01:13:00,780 --> 01:13:07,080
I need you to substitute all the illegal

1879
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:08,820
words please yeah absolutely uh yeah

1880
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:11,100
yeah and you're gonna get some some

1881
01:13:08,820 --> 01:13:13,500
maybe some mangled text out the other

1882
01:13:11,100 --> 01:13:15,000
side but hey at least you won't have to

1883
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:17,580
give your money to

1884
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,960
Wizards of the Coast that's it

1885
01:13:17,580 --> 01:13:21,719

I'm out here trying to make you laugh while talking about D&D. My goal is to help people make their games less stressful, more loosey-goosey, more inclusive. If I have a lot of fun in the process, hey, that's just a bonus!
