What does the OGL 1.1 drama mean for OpenD6 and the future of Mini Six?

Update 1/9/23: Regarding the question "Who owns OpenD6?" from a previous post. I've included this edit there as well, but also want to post it here to make sure everyone sees it. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me or provided guidance concerning ownership of OpenD6. The short answer is that Nocturnal Media is still the owner of WEG/D6/OpenD6. I'm not seeking any more information on the matter but publicly urge the owner to consider releasing OpenD6 under a Creative Commons license (or something similar) in the event that the OGL drama creates ambiguities or ends the current 1.0a license. Please do not reach out to anyone or send any messages on my behalf. I respect the privacy of all involved and don't want to annoy anyone. I'm happy to receive any news regarding the status of OpenD6 from the owner or anyone authorized to speak for them should they choose to communicate publicly or privately. It's obvious that until things become official and clear r

State of Mini Six

I've had a few days to think about the quickly-moving story of the Open Game License drama. The latest statement by WotC says that content released under OGL1.0a will be "unaffected." It may or may not be possible to release new Mini Six BBE/OpenD6 content after they clarify exactly what they mean, at least according to them. The Three-Party Problem There are three entities at play here. Wizards of the Coast owns the copyright on the OGL, and recently they claimed the authority to deauthorize versions. We all know that revocation of 1.0/1.0a is likely to be fought in court by a company bigger than APG, and many believe that they will lose that case. This takes time to resolve, however. The second entity is Nocturnal Media. They own the OpenD6 property. They are the only ones who can release OpenD6 under a truly free license, such as CC-BY-SA. Unfortunately, they have even less involvement directly with the community than I do. Their website is dark, and to my knowledge,

Mini Six: Bare Knuckle Edition Release

Today's the day! Mini Six Bare Knuckle Edition is ready-ish. You can get it here . This exists (for now) as a Google Docs text-only file. The future of BKE has no timetable. There is still playtesting going on (especially in the magic system) and refinements, additions, and changes, will come. That's why I've called this version of BKE "0.7 RC1." It's out there now. You can tinker with it, tear it apart, use it to power your own creations or laugh at it. Planned changes for later versions: Adding a "grimoire" of rote spells. Until the current magic rules are playtested further, it's too much of a moving target to try to nail this part down. Possibly adding (optional) more detailed vehicle rules. Where is the print version? I probably won't be releasing BKE itself in print at any point. What I may do is release a more complete game, including art, one or more mini-settings, GM advice, etc. that is powered by Bare Knuckle, but as its own sepa
