Zardoz Takes Place in 2293

 Despite a meme going around , the plot of the movie Zardoz takes place in the year 2293. Folks that have watched the flick and like it should know that. This meme was either posted by someone that needs to watch the movie or couldn't be bothered to think of a better reason to start giving their viewing audience some awesome fashion advice but to lie.

You'll take my thigh-highs from my cold dead knees!

 Lying seems to be the coin of the realm these days. By realm I mean the roleplaying hobby and by lying, I am sure you know what I alluding to. This is causing some of the weirdest reactions in the cottage of our hobby industry.

What is Paizo is on about?
The games like Pathfinder/Starfinder have been distinct enough from WOTC prroducts for years not to need bother label them OGL. I am pretty sure the stuff was included to just remind folks that if they like D&D, they'll like these as well.
Now that WOTC is working against the OGL from 2000/2003/ beyond, Paizo announced it was doing what WOTC wanted, which was remove themselves a step further from being D&D-ish.
This O.R.C. thing does what, exactly? They are joined, at least in typing, by other companies that have made butter from the OGL as well as Chaosium which didn't. I mean it's good that the "smaller" companies in the RPG field decided to come up with a name to get their name around, but the licensing thing with its eternal foundation would be a waste of money if it ever takes place as announced. Hiring a few lawyers as sort of shield in case folks in Seattle decide to go to court to revoke U.S. copyright law just doesn't make sense. Hasbro does not want 200,000$ from Paizo, Green Ronin, Kobald Press, et al for each of the millions each of their products make. They want WOTC to shore up the D&D brand. The Open RPG movement is capitulation not defiance.
Good on them too. There is no reason for them to fight the fight of making the RPG cottage industry into "the D&D club." It'll be nice to see some well-funded material that isn't our dads' D&D.

It's the OSR that WOTC is targeting
With WOTC's management long standing strategy of working against folks that wrote for 5th edition D&D, Hasbro is looking to seize the cultural movement that can only be called, "You guys wanna play some D&D?". Its outlet, the WOTC, wanted to "lease for free" all material covered by their OGL (whatever form it took) as material for its reference base for AI material producers. Failing that they'll settle for declaring this or that third party D&D contributor unworthy of being such for reasons of their personal beliefs and artistic styles.
I doubt though, that Hasbro really wants to enable its WOTC managers, who can't help but fumble when it comes to dealing people half-way read up on things like Fair Use and copyright law, to really start challenging the Nazis and bigots that are seen in every corner in their minds. I am betting the OGL-dependent don't need to start going on hunger strikes just yet. 

It's a good year not to quit drinking
This is definitely the year to drop the OGL from any product that third party authors write for their D&D compatible publications. Maybe all the grognards will start to admit that they are roleplaying with a lot of war gaming, instead of explaining to everyone what the spirit of Gary Gygax told them when they went Mount Lake Geneva and came down with their particular rules on stone tablets. As for all the competing clubs, groups under this or that license, we'll see how that looks in two years.
