How OGL Rumors Destroyed Kymoria
This Fifth Circuit legal case centers on a contractual dispute between Shawn Thomas and his company, The Tabletop Adventure, against Leyline Publishing and its affiliates regarding the collaborative development and marketing of a therapeutic tabletop role-playing game called Realms of Kymoria. After a disagreement arose regarding potential changes to an open game license, Thomas attempted to sever the partnership, issued a cease-and-desist letter, and subsequently filed a lawsuit alleging intellectual property infringement, trademark violations, and unauthorized use of his name and likeness. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Leyline after concluding that a valid, binding second licensing agreement gave Leyline broad authorization to use the game materials and truthfully describe Thomas's foundational role. On appeal, the appellate court reviewed the record de novo and affirmed the lower court's decision, determining that Thomas failed to establish any breach of contract or valid grounds to revoke the operational agreement.
