Capitalism hits the DnD community in the face. If recent leaks are to be believed, Dungeons and Dragons owners Wizards of the Coast are attempting to tighten the monopoly-like control of the Table Top Roleplay Game industry. Perhaps most shocking to the community is WoTCs attempt to rewrite the Open Gaming License (OGL). But have they gone too far? Gaming Materialists discuss!

Ben Burgis just started a philosophy Substack—Philosophy for the People w/Ben Burgis:
You can read the announcement post explaining it here:
Every week Ben and our own Stefan Bertram-Lee are going to be chatting about whatever Ben wrote for the Substack that week, and using it as a launching pad for a bigger discussion. This week they’re talking about the third essay, “Don’t Cancel Zizek”, in which Ben talks a little about what Žižek’s work has meant to him over the years, what he’s learned from engaging with it, and why he finds recent anti- Žižek essays so unconvincing.
Subscribe for free to get a new essay every Sunday delivered to your inbox, or become a paid subscriber to support the show and get a bunch of benefits to say “thank you” for that:
