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.

Something similar to Unity, a draft version OGL 1.1 was leaked and had a lot of bullshit in it. companies that utilized the OGL to publish stuff related to dnd would have to pay a subscription of 25% if they made more than $750k per year, the right for wotc to utilize anything created on the OGL for any purpose, a ban on virtual recreations of dnd, and removing the ability to publish on the previous OGL version.
It ended with Hasbro completely backing down and Paizo starting the process to create a decentralized license called ORC that served the same purpose of OGL 1, with more control for creative companies
Don't forget Hasbro also sent the actual Pinkerton company after a MTG content creator
Edit: And keep in mind that everyone and their dog who based their livelihood on dnd diversified their portfolio. People are making new games, publishing different types of content, playing other games, etc. WOTC and Hasbro have killed people's trust in them.
