I'd be down for cutting fromnimby posted:Roy comes face to face with Xykon on his own nimby posted:and we cut to Roy in the afterlife again. with Roy in mid-sentence and mid-step from one panel to the next. Xykon and the gang look surprised for a sec and then Roy is in Heaven getting glared at by his dad. Two panels, no dialog! Keep that pace and we're done by April.

Also like remember that these strips iirc pacing wise are aimed to be read in the books? So if it seems slow now its a sacrifice for the final artistic work to be at its best.

Yeah in past most of the times we've complained about slow times it's read well-paced when you read the whole thing at once.

It feels like the bit with Serini dodging questions about mimic adhesive will be relevant.

Lampshaded slow pacing is still slow pacing. Hopefully there's some actual development next strip.

Well, at least the story progressed instead of another page of a dangerous creature stuck to the intellectual level of a four year old playing with Sunny.

Silver2195 posted:Lampshaded slow pacing is still slow pacing. Hopefully there's some actual development next strip. splitting off one character and having him specifically mention how he didn't have any of the soup everyone else is eating seems like it could be important trying to grade single pages in "plot development" is incredibly useless, because literally every single movement of a character is possible plot development! you just can't see it yet!

Parahexavoctal posted:... remind me what happened to Serini's cauldron of amnesia potion? Was spilled, but she claimed that the cleaning wand would be enough to ensure no lingering effects. It could be the case there's a setup for something here, like "Elan was tasked with cleaning the couldron as V refused but he forgot" OOPS.

I hope Rich is ok Not least because I could see him being significantly affected by the new OGL, if he considers it will require him to hand over a permanent license to wotc for all of oots. Legally this would be nonsensical, as the original license explicitly excluded future licenses from being able to revoke the terms of the original one, but rich has his own way of thinking and is nothing if not a stickler for doing things right.

He considers himself to be publishing under the OGL, I believe, the alternative would be fan content which doesn't allow revenue. Parody would be a fall back defence at best. E: actually there's a fair bit of nonsense being talked about the leaked license, it's worth going to the actual doc rather than trusting what people say about it. That said my read as a (non-US) lawyer is that he would need the OGL commercial license and would be liable for 25% of annual revenue over $750k, though as I am sure he doesn't make that much it might not affect him financially. The permanent license for wotc to use his stuff is possibly just poor drafting, as it looks intended to cover simultaneous creation, e.g. if you release a product covering the same stuff as them rather than a sweeping "what's yours is ours" clause.

Contracts can't be unilaterally replaced; Rich would have to agree to the new license, which presumably he wouldn't. And in that case, he could continue to publish under the existing one. He couldn't use any material based on 6th edition, but considering the Order are still based on 3rd it seems unlikely that he'd trip on that. Of course, just because he's legally and morally in the right doesn't mean that he wouldn't have to go to court to prove that and that's its own nightmare. BTW, gently caress WotC for pulling that bullshit. If they were just pulling the OGL it would be one thing: people making material around D&D would have to stick to earlier versions with the license which would be annoying for everyone but that's a risk when you tie your fortunes to a commercial product you have no control over. But this yanking licenses that people made products with based on that contract and replacing it with one that's total dogshit is one of the shittiest moves I've seen in a long time. I suspect the backlash is going to make them change course, probably to pulling the OGL altogether, but it's still awful that they even floated it.

Podcasters were making too much money and they weren't getting a cut off those sweet sweet patreons! Enough money to earn up to a middle class level of income in rare cases!!!!!!

It's a license not a contract, there's no consideration; wotc said 'you may have permission to do xyz if you also do abc', as opposed to 'we give you xyz in exchange for abc'. I believe podcasters and streamers aren't affected, it's print and pdf (so would cover rich). But yeah wotc are claiming to 'de-authorize' the old OGL, which is a very questionable legal move.

That's not going to happen - for one thing Pazio will be fighting it tooth and nail. While this new licence will apply to whatever they are doing with 6e, it's not retrospective and going to suddenly affect OOTS.

Honestly, my personal guess is that WotC will be either liquidated/cut apart, or sold off to a different owner before 2025. MtG is too entrenched to die even under this mismanagement, but D&D's been scrabbling for smaller and smaller pieces of the pie and mostly getting by on name recognition for years.

It applies to pdfs and printed rpg and supporting materials. It is clear about that, unless I'm reading it wrong. Not VTTs. the OGL 1.1 leak posted:B. Works Covered Rich actually doesn't fall under that either, though I don't know if that means he is only left with parody. E: ah I see the issue, the new license scissors out everything that's not an rpg pdf or printed book, so it falls back to regular copyright rather than being covered by the much broader 1.0. That's fairly huge, yep, and could affect both VTTs and parody web comics
