Bob the World Builder Interviews Kyle Brink

CC-BY doesn't require you to release any of your derivative content under CC, just that your work includes a proper attribution for the CC-BY content you're using.

Now, if the SRD was CC-BY-SA (Share Alike) that would make things complicated. but it's not.

I think the question is can you have stuff you want shared and stuff you don’t in a single document.

 

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

This, this is might be why. The OGL is spacial in the world of open licenses in that it allows the creator to split content into "open content" and closed content ("product identity" in OGL speak). CC-BY does not do this.

Remember how everyone was upset with WotC adding language to 1.1 that they could use only OGL content, well now they can do that just as easily if you go CC. You can only seperate your contnet if you do an SRD for your open content in CC-BY, and publish your actual commercial stuff without CC-BY. That is a lot of work and messy.

It doesn’t have to be a lot of work or messy.

It's rarely breaking the law. Most companies don't have employees sign NDAs.

WotC makes everyone sign an NDA for everything.

PG-13 brand?!?!?! Bawhahahahaha, Tell that to Baldur's Gate 3! It's dueling with subverse for best porn game by full release.

Plenty of D&D stuff that is rate R or higher, including Book of Vile Darkness, book and movie.

And the novels and be as adult in themes as any Game of Thrones novel.

Baldur's Gaye 3 is the only thing you mention that is remotely recent

The novels aren't that old a lot of the old lore is all over the internet, can't put that genie back into the bottle.

WotC makes everyone sign an NDA for everything.

OK. I wasn't specifying WotC, I was responding to the generalization that most working people operate under similar contracts. They do not.

Additionally you can mix CC and adapt.

You just credit to the original creator. You could use footnotes, or captions, or chapter headings, etc

Looking into BG3, honesty seems like a bit if a soft M, not really much more than PG-13. As to old media "canon," thus is relevant:

That is never relevant.

And the only sex scene in BG3 right now is the one with Minthara and it's very graphic, softcore at mininium, and they haven't even added in the genitials have made for the game yet (they were datamined). There are sex scenes with at minimium 5 to 6 origin characters as well, with a variety of possible races and genders invovled. That's just what we know about. Oops forgot about the Orger sex. No this is a game just for adults. Which is fine. But let's stop pretending this is just a PG-13 brand, it's not, anymore then Marvel is.

And I haven't even mentioned the body horror either which is very graphic and extreme. The fiend worshipping may also bother more religious folks. And depictions of BDSM. Etc...
