Is there a consensus on what #Pathfinder is going to look like after the dust settles on the #D&D / #OGL changes? I’ve just shut down my dndbeyond subscription as a result of the changes and told my group we need to move the campaign to another system. But #Paizo and Pathfinder are the main targets of the changes, so I’m not sure whether that will even be an option for us!

    I’m holding out with D&D, but I have canceled my subscription. The main reason I’m holding out is because I want to know what’s going to happen. If Paizo gets screwed hard, I’ll go to GURPS. Otherwise, all the rules and content is available online for free, so. Might just use pf2e anyway? Tempted to keep using D&D and just pirate new content so they don’t get any money, but idk.

      I’ve been with D&D for over 25 years and still have a lot of fun. There were so many changes over time, but they all turned out to be fun in the end. With major revisions, it always took time, but the community shaped up and made changes to the changes, which became lore.

        That’s understandable, I’m not against changes in the game, but they’re threatening to bring down the entire industry so they can have an effective monopoly. This isn’t the same as changing editions or some rules.

          My DM will, as far as I know him, ignore anything, even if it’s official, which may break our game or when it needs a lot of rework. Maybe the community just ignores it? 😆 I know some groups, which are still on 3.5, so it could work.
