Hello
Wanted to share that I have made this website where you can print out your dnd e5 spell cards.
The colour of the spell cards can be customized and you can filter out the spells based on class, subclass, level or individual spells.
The cards are printed out on at A4, and are 2.5x3.5 inch which also fit in magic the gathering sleeves.
They’re not actually that bad, are they? WotC tried to go bonkers in the beginning of 2023 and about this kind of stuff. They tried to change their OGL rules but but the fans beat them into submission, to some extent at least. WotC released an SRD placing a lot of their stuff under Creative Commons CC-BY-4.0 licensing. I’m not a lawyer, but I think spell cards would be fine as long as they avoid the things (like Forgotten Realms) that are excluded from the SRD.
I’m sure someone more versed in the topic will correct me if I’m wrong.
It’s mostly the intended absence of safety that leads to jokes like mine. Hasbro stated that they’d prefer a closed system and that the trap can shut when they desire it. The dnd community at large, myself included, has made hasbro out to be the money-hungry monster it is. Often in gest, but with an underlying understanding that there can no longer be long term trust.
TLDR, you’re probably fine, but the hyperbole is there for a reason
Valid. They are after all trying to claw back the rights to The Deck of Many Things and Orb of Dragonkind by trying to copyright them despite explicitly including them in the SRD 5.1 under an irrevocable Creative Commons license, or were as of a few months ago.
I’m out of the loop.
Are we allowed to say Beholder now?
Hmm, I think that I would rather face a beholder while wearing nothing but a loincloth armed only with a rubber spatula than read through that whole thing to figure it out.
