In light of the leaked OGL, many players, myself included, seek to boycott WotC until they confirm that the OGL 1.1 will not be released without radical changes to the third party content policy pursued in the leaked document.

The biggest easy this seems to be manifesting is in the cancellation of D&D subscriptions, which I'm told is worrying the higher-ups at Hasbro (the parent company) and WotC. However, many people do not have subscriptions in the first place, like myself. This makes voting with our wallets (the best way to handle corporations, with their focus on profit) trickier, even if we feel that we need to take some form of a stand.

There are a number of ways those without subscriptions can make their feelings known and here are the ones I have come up with. Please share any you would like to add below.

1) Don't purchase any new D&D content. Physical books, dice, mats or official minis all effect WotC sales in much the same way that a cancelled subscription does (though less immediately trackable). There is a D&D film released this March. Not seeing this film will signal your intentions as well as being a potential embarrassment for what I'm sure WotC hope will be the start of a successful new cinema franchise.

2) Boycott any other Hasbro and WotC products. Again, this is a way to vote with your wallet. Hasbro and WotC own other products such as Magic: The Gathering, Monopoly, NERF Guns and a variety of others. Let them know that you won't tacitly support their actions through other branches of what is a very expansive toys and gaming empire of which D&D is only a (large) part.

3) Sign petitions. Generally less effective than the above methods but it only takes a minute of your time and is still an effective way to get your voice or there. Here's one: https://www.opendnd.games/

4) Get online. Whether Twitter, DDB, Discord or Instagram (maybe even Tiktok 🫣) bad press has a big impact on company actions. Get out there, get heard.

5) Tell them yourself!!! Tag them in a post, message then directly via one of their social media accounts, email or call them on their official lines. Keep it polite since the staff whose job it is to respond aren't responsible for the current situation. I was unable to find an official number or email for contacting WotC. If someone has it, sharing is caring.

Boycotting and protesting is a legitimate response to the situation even if they have yet to release an official statement. Their failure to deny is telling, the evidence is pretty convincing and it only has to last until WotC confirm that third party publishers and homebrew creators have absolutely nothing to worry about, releasing an official draft to confirm this.

You can still buy dice! There's plenty of companies that sell dice that aren't WotC

It’s fascinating how short selling a stock works. It HAS to be done.

This event is making the news which investors and more specifically, market analysts will notice and start asking questions which will create an ENORMOUS pressure on Hasbro corporate and create a downward pressure on WotC asset value which will affect Hasbro's bottomline which is already on shaky ground.

I suspect Chris Cocks isn't long for being Hasbro's BBEG and his minion Cynthia Williams will go down with him.
