Wales is the place for old remnants and old myths.

It was revised to use the CC SRD instead of the OGL, but I suspect that doesn't mean a lot since the SRDs provided spell/ monster/ magic item names but much of the rest of the text was original, anyway. It's also having a few bits added by popular demand, such as morale rules and magic item...

How many pages is it? I'm a little concerned that it's getting quite big.

I'm judging the game by Ben's last YouTube development log, as I'm not on his Patreon where he apparently updates more regularly. What I'm hoping is that it doesn't get too much larger than 1E (obviously it will be larger than 2 pages!). I like these tiny systems for what they are, I don't...

Yes, I was responding to the second half of your post where you said: I may have been mistaken if that part was also talking about encumbrance (i.e. "how much can my character carry?")? Anyway, old D&D used coins as an encumbrance measurement (and an optional simplified system of unarmoured...

Knave is interesting, I'm probably in for Knave 2. Early D&D was all about the gear. A fighter was nothing without their intelligent magic sword.

An important point to remember is that it only matters if someone enforces the licence. WotC never took the initiative to terminate the OGL for products that declared mechanics PI (in violation of the OGL), which is why that became common practice. The ORC and similar licences are primarily...

Eventually one preferred acronym will rise to the top, and everyone will call it that.

Are they planning matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, or some new fantasy mechanism?

But it doesn't matter what WotC call it. It's always the gamers who decide what it's called. TSR didn't come up with 1E, 2E, B/X, or BECMI, either.

When I run games, I let players attempt anything they want. After a reasoned discussion of how the attempt would work within the game system, and if they still want to try, the dice determine the outcome.

At first glance it looks like the licences are much improved over the drafts. FL seem to have really taken all the comments on board.

Yes, oddly enough it doesn't seem to appear anywhere on their website or social media pages. I had to search the Arcane Library Facebook page to find it in a comment (on the principle that everyone has a Discord these days).

Ah, yes, A5 is technically not a digest size.

As it says in the title - assuming you like digest-sized RPG books*, what is your preferred size, exactly? Because there are quite a few variations. * And please don't post just to say "I don't"!

Rogue (because everyone else is just a supporting character). :)

I'm fond of using hit points to power spells or other mental powers.

There is a sign-up link in this Paizo blog post: paizo.com - Community / Paizo Blog It's aimed at OGL publishers who might want to switch to the ORC licence going forwards, so it's not really a general public discussion forum.

The ORC Discord has regular progress updates.
