Hope that no one casts Mordenkainen’s Stairs?
But srsly… Candlekeep Mysteries had that one wheelchair accessible dungeon.

The retarded booklet supplement they yaaassed to gave them a magical wheelchair that negates things like stairs by temporarily levitating. It also has better AC than some starting characters and is tougher to destroy than a troll.
It also only cost 100 gold. Yes, it's that stupid.

You know if I was in wheelchair irl the one thing I'd want to do in my fantasy escapist entertainment is play as somebody WHO COULD FUCKING WALK.

If I played a crippled character, I'd totally do it Master Blaster or Hodor style; have a big dumb hireling carry me everywhere I go and occasionally stab a gribbly or two for a decent cut of the loot.

One of my 4e groups picked up a Kobold prisoner they ended up adopting after he was released once the kobold threat had been dealt with. They sacrificed the EXP to make him a warlord, and put him in the fighters pack.
Encumbrance checked out so I said ok.

I remember seeing a couple letters in Dragon Magazine back in the 80's on how to help accommodate disabled players.
Not characters, mind you. Players. And it was all practical stuff -- larger dice and sheets for visually-impaired, making sure the hearing-impaired guy could see you, or making enough room for the girl in the wheelchair to roll up to the table, maybe help her with moving figures if needed.
Funny thing, nobody was talking about playing disabled characters. Hell, there was one tear jerker of a letter talking about a player who had been chronically ill and later passed away, who thanked her group for letting her play -- to be the hero her body wouldn't let her be.
One sec, gotta murder the onion ninja in my room. OK, moving on.
The bit about the stupid magic wheelchair is spot on, AND it also violates one of the big rules about disadvantages: it doesn't actually impede the character.
So it's just a fetish, not an actual disability.

I once played a mentally retarded Orc Barbarian. He had a heart of gold… when he wasn’t chimping out and biting the faces off of foppish elves.

WotC have updated the OGL
www.dndbeyond.com
People who sell expansions and other D&D related unofficial products will have to report earnings to WotC if they make over $50K per year and if you earn over $750K you will have to pay a royalty fee. Not long before they just scrap allowing community content all together.
OGLs, SRDs, & One D&D
We love the interest and passion the community has for D&D. We love D&D, too. So, when we see the D&D community concerned by rumors and misu...

This is definitely going to nuke player numbers and even purchases. Amazing we're seeing them burn themselves out out of stupidity and greed.

I wonder if this will be used to try to retroactively fuck over other OGL made d20 games that used 3.5 too?
Either way, I don't expect making this exlcusive to online payment plans and banning homebrew effectively will work out for them.
D&D One? More like DnDone at this rate of fucking awful ideas.

They can try but they cannot.
tl;dr they are updating the OGL from 1.0 to 1.1 (gay) which means anything covered under the previous agreement is grandfathered in by default.
Now its been a while since I had to sperg about this ( calling @anonminous to the stand) but the OGL didn't have a drop dead date, so anything made under OGL is A-OK. If you have an existing OGL, you are also likely fine. They can pull their Official products from OGL and say "OGL 1.1" and force anyone to use OGL 1.1. A site like DTRPG/The DM's Guild or whatever gay nom du fag they are using this week may refuse to sell any product not OGL 1.1 compliant.
tl;dr anything already existing is fine.
Your OGL products need to pull in $750,000 a year or more in revenue, and they said this covers all but 20 publishers. If you're under $750,000 you're going to self-register (and not really consider about what happens if they alter the deal). If you're over, you are probably big enough to negotiate your own separate peace with Wizards.
This is 100% all about making sure that Venger Satanis' new suplement: "The Demonic S'lime Whizyrds of Co'omingburg " can't slap the

you're all forgetting wotc is already profiting from it via dmsguild (which takes a 50% cut, most people don't know that) because quite a lot of it is fixing/extending their official shit wotc can't be arsed to do properly.
it's kinda like bethesda selling you the community patch-fix (it's not like they didn't try...)
