    This is deadass making me reconsider dnd, thanks /gen

    Also, with dnd, you buy a physical book and you own it forever right? Physical books don’t have DRM, unless there’s something I’m missing.

      From what I know, it’s not an exact match, unless there’s something going on with virtual tabletops.

      The ownership difference I know of matters more for third party creators. Under D&D’s OGL (at least the new versions,) Wizards can own anything created with it (or so I’ve heard.) Pathfinder’s ORC (used for 2e at least) is explicitly unowned by Paizo so they couldn’t even put such a clause in there if they wanted to.

      Other than that, both licenses pretty much allow you to mod as you wish, and publish said mods for profit.
