It’s much easier to be 2nd to implement anti-user policies than it is to be 1st

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
When WotC finally backed down and dual-licensed the SRD OGL 1.0a and Creative Commons, I decided to end my boycott. They were cooperating with the community's demands. (Finally.)
And then they sent the Pinkertons after one of their MTG customers.
So, fuck Hasbro. (Hasbro owns WotC.) I'm not giving them another dime. I DM a 5e game, but I'm not purchasing anything 5e again.
I have less investment in the Unity situation, but fuck those assholes too.
I highly recommend Pathfinder 2e if you want something else. I think the action system is a lot of fun and gives ample room for roleplaying. Having played both, I don't think I'll ever go back to 5e
WOOHOO another Shen comic! That dude makes a ton of great comics.
here's the source for this one.
there's also Live With Yourself which is mostly run by his associate David Catman, but still a fun read.
What did Wizards of the Coast do?
Something like wanting to change the D&D licensing so that they can share in any profits made by 3rd parties, anyone making user content, adventures, etc.
The key part was they made it retroactive just like unity did. Essentially meant you needed to both pay wizards and also they could use any of your content without paying you. They wanted to kill Pathfinder.
Let's not forget squeezing money from actual plays like Critical Role.
