One Hour Photo. I don't know if it was Oscar bait or what, but I don't understand how it has 80% on RT.

I think Tales of the Valiant is closer to D&D 5e and also licensed under ORC. Either is a great option for people looking to leave D&D though.
Small improvements and cosmetic changes appear throughout, but outside of a few minor changes in terminology, the changes are not anywhere substantive enough to be considered a new edition.
Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project!
Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure the remaster was about removing anything licensed under OGL so they could license it under ORC.
Wait, I guess it makes sense. Fire everyone, sell to another company, then that company can try to rehire at a reduced salary.
Nah. They'll sell in a leveraged buy-out, which will give the shareholders at Hasbro tons of money, cost Tencent nothing, and put the new D&D LLC in tons of debt. Then they'll piecemeal out any IP or assets that can make them any money before letting D&D LLC go bankrupt. See what happened to Toys R' Us for a past example.
Pathfinder 1e had a good license and would be very familiar to D&D 3e players. Pathfinder 2e has a great license but would have a bit of a relearning curve for D&D 5e players.
Tales of the Valiant is probably the closest to 5e with a great license.
D&D's 5e SRD was released under CC-BY. It only includes one subclass per class and a handful of monsters, but it's all the rules.
Tales of the Valiant and Pathfinder 2e both have SRDs licensed under the ORC license and are based in D&D-type gameplay.
FATE is a different type of TTRPG that has a SRD licensed both under OGL and CC-BY.
Powered by the Apocalypse is a different system and has a permissive, but hand-wavey license.
Of all of these, ToV is the most like 5e without being controlled by a multi-national, public company.
Yeah. I worked for a SaaS company that had two rounds of layoffs because they hired C-suite executives who were better at talking than building software or running product teams.
One was let go in the layoffs -- but given a book of clients to start a competing business. The other is still there holding pointless meetings that keep people from getting work done.
I agree with you, and normally like posts to just use the original headline, but in this case, it feels like the newspaper is pro-KOSA. They mention in the article hundreds of organizations support the legislation but don't mention the hundreds that have opposed it.
Perhaps something like "Microsoft president endorses online child safety bill night before Big Tech hearing [Bill is opposed by EFF over censorship concerns]" would be a better way to handle adding context.
I saved your post to try out the game. Sadly, it appears that it's being erased from the Internet.
"Spec Ops: The Line ... has been delisted from Steam, with other online stores to follow."
Ah boo. It didn't do that for me, sorry about that! Here's the archive.org version: https://web.archive.org/web/20240131015504/https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sand-mafias-are-plundering-the-earth/
Well, you should have taken 16 seconds. Because two words later it says that she also identifies as pansexual. And in the article quoted, she refers to herself as queer. So BQ+
Are you really arguing that "Amber Glenn becomes first Bisexual, Pansexual, and Queer woman to win U.S. Women's Figure Skating Championship" would have been a better headline?
