Garden of the Fey

If you love me, please open the image in another tab to fullview it, there is a lot of detail that tumblr shrunk into oblivion.

FINALLY GOT YOU BACK, SHINKO.

Name: Cree

Pronouns: She/Her

Flags: Lesbian

Native Canon: D&D Temphere Campaign

Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:

With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.

With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:

Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)

Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion

Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent

And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!

It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.

This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.

These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.

So, what can we do?

Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing. 

Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it. 

For Christmas this year, I made my D&D group themed presents - snowglobes! This was so much fun, I really really loved this theme, and I liked making everyone's scenes! I'd actually like to make one for one of my own characters, there was a type of winter scene I wasn't able to do that I would still like to try! We shall see!

The images each have image descriptions, but names and credits to the character owners are below! (in order of appearance):

@creethebard's Dayainee the "Warforged" paladin

@ginzloveslife's Dahlia, the halfling cleric (and Marigold, her riding hound!)

@elycien's Tandy, the gnome warlock

@rabbitthewriter's Virga, the water genasi druid, and

A quick contribution to the holiday! Here's Cree, my PC from the Temphere Campaign, and Fen, one of the NPCs from the Thrrasir campaign, all geared up for a costume party!

Happy Birthday to The Wild Cards!

The campaign and the party turns four years old on September 9th! From what I have learned since I started playing D&D, that is a very long time. And as celebration this year, I drew some good moments from each of the party members!

Bu I certainly could not have done this ago. About a month ago, @shinkoscribbles DMed me and mentioned how cool it’d be if every character got a cool character moment drawing. And since that would have been a lot of work on my end, they offered to do the sketching and the lineart. Major thanks to Shinko, they are amazing, they did so awesome, could not have done this without them.
