Show Notes
On this RPGBOT.Masterclass, we discuss the Open Gaming License. As the basis for 3rd-party creators to publish D&D-compatible products, the OGL is a defining document in the TTRPG industry, but the legal workings are often poorly understood. We invite Alex Kammer and Mark Greenberg to share their expertise on the history and foundations of the OGL.
