If you are like me, then you are a huge fantasy fan. It is easily my favorite genre and I have to force myself to read to read other books. But for this list, we will be staying with this genre as we share our list of the 21 must read fantasy books of all time!
Caveat: this is not a good explanation, and deliberately avoids most of the nuance.
WOTC licensed the core rules for 5e (a small fraction of what’s contained within the player’s handbook) in a way that allowed third-parties to release content designed for 5e. Then they changed the licence in a way that would require every third-party to pay them significant royalties. They said it wasn’t released and they were gathering feedback, but they were also telling people to sign it. It seems to be a money-grab by the parent company Hasbro (which also owns Magic the Gathering).
Paizo came out with the ORC licence which is held by a trust, is irrevocable, and has community support.
Hmm… getting some gist of the issue.
But who is Paizo and what’s ORC?Edit: Nevermind, Pazio is the company that released Pathfinder.
Thanks for the info.
