@patcharcana No no! It's worse than that!

Wizard's wants a piece of that sweet sweet Critical Role action!

Let's say that Critical Role decides that it's not worth it, and decides to leave D&D.

They don't need to go from Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons to Call of Cthulhu or Burning Wheel or whatever. They can go to Nith Nedition Nungeons and Nagons, a game with *exactly the same rules* as D&D, but owned by them, and be legally in the clear
