The ongoing storm within the role-playing games community over the plan by the Wizards of the Coast to "deauthorize" the OGL 1.0a and replace it with a new, far more restrictive one has caught the attention of the Washington Post: "The D&D Open Game License controversy, explained."
It's not great PR for WotC when the article compares the company to a dragon and concludes: "as any group of D&D adventurers might tell you, in stories like this, the point of a dragon atop a treasure trove is for it to be slain."AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about role-playing games (Mythras, Against the Darkmaster, Dungeons & Dragons [esp. old school], Swords & Wizardry, Into the Unknown, Middle-earth Role-playing, Lord of the Rings Role-playing, Adventures in Middle-Earth, Crypts & Things, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) and RPG settings (Middle-earth, Cthulhu Mythos, Greyhawk, Lyonesse, Ukrasia, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.
