Dungeons and Dragons put out a formal statement pertaining to the future of the Open Game License and homebrew in One D&D. The statement clarifies some details on how homebrew will work in One D&D while outlining changes Dungeons and Dragons is making to the existing OGL.

Wizards of the Coast is revealing this information sooner than it anticipated, but pressure from Dungeons and Dragons players demanding transparency moved it to make a statement. Dungeons and Dragons clarified that the Open Game License and Systems Reference Document–the legal stuff that allows players to create and sell third-party content–will be coming to One D&D, albeit with some changes.

The OGL 1.1, as Dungeons and Dragons is calling it, will apply only to printed media or static electronic files–videos, video games, and other types of Dungeons and Dragons media are covered through the Fan Content Policy or custom agreements. This is to safeguard Dungeons and Dragons’ intellectual property from being exploited by large businesses or to prevent third parties from minting D&D NFTs. This part of the OGL is largely unchanged from the 5th Edition version.

However, the OGL 1.1 is changing for commercial content creators. If players seek to sell Dungeons and Dragons material for One D&D, they will need to inform Wizards of the Coast of what their products are and report OGL-related revenue annually. Creators will also need to include a Creator Product badge on their work and will need to pay royalties if they make more than $750,000 selling products using the OGL.

Many players are relieved Wizards of the Coast offered some clarifications on the future of homebrew content in One D&D. Rumors and uncertainty were evolving into panic and worst-case theorycrafting, some of which has been absolved with the recent statement. At the very least, it seems Dungeons and Dragons will be ensuring creators can continue to make content in One D&D.

That said, many creators have even more concerns for One D&D than they did before. Some of the commercial restrictions Dungeons and Dragons mentioned have left players angry and confused. Fans wonder what the license terms they must accept will look like, or why Wizards of the Coast wants them to report their products and earnings to them like the IRS. Players don’t know what a Creator Product badge is–or if they will have to pay to get one–and fear Dungeons and Dragons will eventually lower the threshold for demanding royalties in the future. Dungeons and Dragons may have assuaged some fears in its statement, but commercial content creators will need more clarification in the future if they are to accept One D&D as their new system of choice.

One D&D is in development.
