Amanda provides an in-depth analysis of the recently leaked Open Gaming License (OGL) agreement (OGL 1.1) of the fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, including a rundown of the old OGL 1.0a and a breakdown of what is potentially to come with OGL 1.1 if it is not revised, including deauthorization of OGL 1.0a, what content is covered by OGL 1.1, the differences in non-commercial and commercial use, the fan content policy, royalties and registration, and much more.
