Leaked details regarding Wizards of the Coast's plans to change Dungeons and Dragons' licensing are being received extremely poorly.

content_html

Dungeons and Dragons fans are taking issue with what appears to be Wizards of the Coast's effort to expand its control over licensed content via a revised contract. Wizards of the Coast has long used its Open Gaming License to allow content creators to make Dungeons and Dragons products, retain full ownership, and accrue considerable profits independently. The revised OGL, however, appears to give significant power to Wizards of the Coast to claim these creations as its own.
