Saving People's D&D Websites

Post by Solauren »

Per the discussion in Offtopc, there are concerns about the future of D&D due to recent announced plans by WOTC/Hasbro.

As such, It occurs to me that a new OGL might be problematic for some websites, or sections of them.
So, they might take those sections down to avoid headaches (if not close up all together).

For example, discuss forms where people post custom D&D Content, Fan-websites and the like.

So, I'm making a list of websites I am planning to download/update my copy of as a 'just in case'.
If closures start to occur, I'll look into putting them online on places like Mega, or even via Torrents

Here is the list below of websites I have book marked that are still active.
If anyone can think of websites that should be saved, please post them in this list. Please keep dicussions on the future of D&D in the thread in off-topic.

Please note - with Discussion forms, it would just be the sections with custom pre-d20/D&D/D20/Pathfinder 1e/related content. I suppose I could do 4e and 5e as well, even if I don't personally use those systems

(Note - this is a copy of a thread I started at Enworld.org, and will be keeping both threads parellel list to each other. If I start more in other places, I will keep them all update to date with each other)

I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

DND needs saving? It's arguably more popular than checkers. Put Ginny DiGiovani on a billboard fully clothed and people will throw money at it.

There was a lot of 'chaos' when OGL 1.2 was to released at the begining of January. (Hasbro + Wizards have since trashed that and it's now in creative commons). The thread title should have been 'SAVING D&D Websites". My fear was people going 'not risking Wizards of the Coasts lawyers' and closing. There was a concern things on the internet would resemble D&D under TSR in the 1990s. (Hostile). It's more complicated then that, but my concern was people closing their websites to avoid problems with WOTC.
