How many times do I have to debunk this. The Prime Ministers claim an above-inflation pay rise for our nurses & teachers will drive inflation is just another shameful LIE. If you are as sick of this as I am RT this widely

Some preliminary testing indicates that Twitter is deboosting tweets containing certain words, including preventing them being shown as previews in DMs. Current suspected words include (without letters not punctuation): - Tr@ns - G@y - Lesbi@n - Qu££r - Bisexu@l Try yourself.

Wow. After introducing his guest as “a particularly distinguished professor of economics at Kings college London” Jacob Rees-Mogg squirms as he’s told some hard truths about the damage of Brexit. Watch in disbelief at what comes next

@ReadingCouncil we popped a small kettle in a carrier bag next to our recycle bin and it wasn’t collected this morning with the recycling. Could you confirm if the below on the website is still correct?

For chancellor Jeremy Hunt to simply pretend in his speech that Brexit is not having a catastrophic impact on the UK economy is not just dishonest it’s outright negligent! Get the FACTS he’s hiding from the country here

Twenty two years ago we planned for this time. The #ogl was made as robust as we could make it. This is the time it was built for - to take, withstand, and overcome a challenge to its fundamental legitimacy. Now is not the time to fold. Now is the time to fight.

They will gain my trust when they prove they care more about the 3rd party creators than major profit. A tall order, but you know the world would be better if more companies cared about the people who used their services that seeing people as cash dispensers #OpenDnD #DnDBegone

Just filled in the OGL2.1 feedback form. I believe that the content of this license gives Wizards and Hasbro too much control over 3rd party creators and destroy the intension of the original OGL. Until these companies regain my trust I not give them my money. #OpenDnD

Who were the freelancers that worked on this? How can we support them in other ways?

I tried writing a video script about the OGL debacle but it was literally too depressing, so I scrapped it. Hasbro is going to get what it wants. None of this other shit matters to them. They're going to convert D&D into a digital loot-box game, it will make them a lot of money.

@shapesandlines @lincodega @Wizards_DnD We should find out if any of the designers and writers have 3rd party stuff they have worked on and buy that instead.

@lincodega @Wizards_DnD Thanks for the post. A lot of good, people worked their butt off on that thing for sure. It kills me to see their work affected by all this.

First things first — @Wizards_DnD new adventure anthology was put up for preorder on their site and amazon today with literally no announcement whatsoever. It’s a heist-themed anthology, and looks pretty cool, tbh. gizmodo.com/dungeons-drago…

@DnD_Shorts thank you for all your work. You have gone from making fun flashy dnd shorts to deep investigative legal dives in to the #OGL situation. A lot of other creatives have done similar things and I thank them. But YOU have been such a help to me in understanding this mess

@DnD_Shorts @Wizards At the end of the day, whatever happens to be true, this all raises a good point. We must make sure our voices are heard both on social media and on any official feedback forms. It is a lot harder to dampen our voices here that in unpublished feedback forms.

IMPORTANT: Today, I passed along information regarding UA survey collection at @Wizards I was told this by two inside sources, both of whom have been verified by multiple people, that OneD&D playtest materials were not being reviewed. (1/X)

@bedirthan @TheMightyJerd @DarkestCrows You understand that the paraphraser is used to make sure that those who are leaking from within Wizards won’t be sued and fired. DnD_Shorts and many other 3party creators/YouTubers are fighting hard to make sure this game isn’t ruined by corporate greed.

I read nearly half a million UA comments my first year working on D&D. I was not the only one reading them. I understand the desire to share information as you get it, but this just feels like muckraking.

@Wizards_DnD Another great video by @DnD_Shorts . I recommend a watch and in particular about Wizards trying to get people to stop talking on twitter and Reddit and funnelling people into official feedback forms that are never read! #DnDBegone youtu.be/Mr9WDUCK5aQ

Let's talk about the path forward. spr.ly/60113XsCF

Fans think boycotting Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves may be the best way to get Wizards of the Coast to back down on changing the OGL. gamerant.com/dungeons-and-d…

Tory MP Edward Leigh claimed #expenses of £2,332 for heating last year and £2,474 the previous year. Retweet if you think he should pay his own utility bills.
