Now, WotC promises any coming changes will be done through a &#8220;more open and transparent&#8221; process that will start a &#8220;robust conversation&#8221; around any new proposals.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dndbeyond.com\/posts\/1428-a-working-conversation-about-the-open-game-license\">a post on the D&amp;D Beyond forums<\/a> today, WotC Executive Producer Kyle Brink writes that &#8220;new proposed OGL documentation&#8221; will be shared publicly on or before Friday, January 20. At that point, community members will have at least two weeks to offer feedback via a survey that will include specific questions and open-response fields.<\/p>\n<p>WotC compared the new process to the one it uses for <a href=\"https:\/\/dnd.wizards.com\/unearthed-arcana\/travelers-multiverse\">playtests of Unearthed Arcana documents<\/a>, which are often used to solicit feedback on draft mechanics and gameplay ideas that haven&#8217;t been fully tested. Once the new OGL survey concludes, Brink says WotC will &#8220;compile, analyze, react to, and present back what we heard from you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1910927#p3\">Read 6 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1910927&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1910927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D&amp;D maker promises to get player feedback for coming \u201copen\u201d license update<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ Artist&#8217;s conception of the coming discussion between Wizards of the Coast and the D&amp;D community over proposed OGL updates.
