I've no idea what WOTC and OGL is refering to, but I'm definately going to avoid it because it just looks like an MCU movie with a DnD coating.
Wizards of the Coast and Open Gaming License.

Explanation: They made the OGL during the dawn of third edition D&D, which let other publishers (from larger ones to indie ones) make and sell their own work using the d20 system the game ran on. Essentially, it was the equivalent of a game publisher letting people make and sell their own fanmade mods for their game or to sell their own games based on the engine. Cut to 5e, which ever since D&D got big, was known for having a massive amount of homebrew content, some being sold by said fans creating it.

Then WOTC attempted to revoke the OGL, even removing the original text saying it can't be revoked, and trying to do so on archived versions on the Wayback Machine. Suddenly, nobody was allowed to make homebrew content other than what was allowed on their official site, and any content they make on said site may be sold by WOTC as their own product without credit to the original creator, in addition to preventing all other virtual tabletops from being legally allowed to have D&D 5e on their services. All while OneD&D is going on and everything that came of that.

TL;DR: Guys who own D&D got really greedy.

The film makers outright said they purposely emasculated the white male lead "for fun", so you made the right call from what I see.
Oh that. I heard something along those lines. So they're pulling a Disney.

I didn't watch the movie itself, I just saw a poster of it.

I literally thought there was some surprise MCU movie for a moment before I read what movie it was.
That looks like one of those porn parodies :skully :skully

Still reading it, still enjoy it even after the whole Kidd thing. Dunno why Shanks didn't go and wreck Kaido and Big Mom but then again we still know very little about him. Dude's 100% a top tier though, and after CT did his Wano calcs it's entirely possible he could one shot all of Bleach :lit


Sabo may or may not be dead though, but after getting nuked the way he did I'd be more surprised if he was alive tbh

there's literally no reason mihawk is Shanks rival with that showing.

Sabo was introduce just to get killed if that's how he's going out. Dude barely did anything that mattered.

:espurrtf in comparison Ace did a lot of thing to the point readers don't want him gone.

@Nevermind @Xhominid The Apex If Vince wasn't in control for night 2, then Triple H must've been huffing some paint with that decision for Cody vs Roman. :mjlol Other than Asuka losing, felt the show was doing great in night 2, overall, up until that main event. Whoever made that call, you done fucked it up.:wow
