Of note in the leaked language for OGL 1.1:

WotC is trying to claim the right to royalty free republishing rights of all material developed using the license.

the OGL no longer covers multi-media, it's only for publishing books and pdfs; the whole of critical role would not be covered by the new OGL, while it is under the old one.

Under the new OGL, WotC plans on claiming 25% of all crowdfunding over 750,000 dollars, save that on kickstarter-- which will only be required to pay 20%.

WotC reserves the rights to cancel the agreement at anytime, for any or no reason. And since there's a section on bigotry? This enshrines your cancelation, bigot!

Arch is covering it, but I first heard about it here.

If they follow the path of other companies in the same situation, they'll issue an apology, say they didn't really mean it, then put back in 90% of the same meaning on the next version once the press gets tired of covering it.
