Hot take: the government should take D&D and give its rights to a non-profit to be managed for the benefit of the community and its employees.

would a federated open source d&d universe ever be reality? like have a whole world that is created by contributors, similar to openstreetmap (but not irl obviously)

Sounds like you're talking about a wiki?

i was thinking more of like something that's an ever changing world where other campaigns would affect and change the landscape i dunno how hard it would be to make it troll proof though :/

just early morning pondering :P

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I could get into that.

Pathfinder might be a good basis for this

I thought the big SecondLife trend was going to do that.

That’s essentially what the ORC License does. Paizo wrote it, but then gave it to a law firm that represents several developers so no one RPG owns it.

Isn't that more of a license under which games can be developed than a game unto itself? Or did I misunderstand? Also, I want it to be managed by the community, not some law firm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, it’s a license. But nothing is to stop you for making your own free community-driven game under that license.
