The EC team put together this breezy and accessible overview of the legal, financial, and creative history of DnD, from its creation in the 1974 to the OGL fiasco of early 2023. It’s sad but a little funny how cyclical the licensing situation has been for the past 50 years. Here’s hoping that the community’s protests earlier this year helped break that cycle.

If they don't teach it in business school, Hasbro's army of MBAs won't have learned it.
