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

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

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

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

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

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

1616
01:02:51,059 --> 01:02:55,440
if they use your content
1617

and they make a bunch of money then they
1618
01:02:55,440 --> 01:03:00,540
have to start paying you
1619
01:02:57,260 --> 01:03:02,760

01:04:51,900 --> 01:04:58,400
like why are they doing that
1665
01:04:54,839 --> 01:04:58,400

be the post credits of order among these
1670
01:05:08,099 --> 01:05:13,380
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!
