D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

[Haplo781]

I don't really plan on jumping ship right away. We've got until 2024 to see how this plays out.

But I have been thinking about Call of Cthluhu for awhile now. This would be a good excuse to try it out. No need to wait to see what WotC does to start exploring that system.

I wish I knew of a way to do Dread on a VTT. I'd love to try that out, but all my RPG groups are web based right now.

Simple, you just need a VR setup with haptics.

I may not be the type of person this thread is targeted at, I jumped ship years ago. I had no desire to play 4E and went to Pathfinder. I got burned out on it a little while before Pathfinder 2E was announced and now primarily run Savage Worlds with a little bit Castles & Crusades and Call of Cthluhu thrown in. I still play Pathfinder 1E, I turned over the DM duties to one of my players and we rotate campaigns.

If I were a D&D 5E player I'm sure Savage Worlds would be what I would jump ship for and probably check out some Forged in the Dark games.

I‘m not jumping ship, per se. But my group did discuss playing a mini-campaign while I work out Part Two of our current 5e epic.

We were thinking of using PbtA (Spirit of ‘77) to run ”Rollercops”, where every PC belongs to an ill-fated trial squad of roller-skating police in Venice Beach.

Should anything happen, in the Mafia sense, to Roll20s 5e integration over the next year or two, then we’ll revisit switching away from WotC.

Voted Other.

I can see myself playing D&D 5E for another year or so, but then I will either switch to AD&D (modified), have finished my own game and play that, or just work on my own game.

Spirit of 77 is fantastic. One of my favorite PbtA games.

Why jump ship? I have the game I like—I'll just play with existing material that I have. That said, I won't spend another penny on anything from WotC/Hasbro except on the off chance that they cancel their war on the OGL.

 

[Xamnam]

The two 5e games I have going on are likely to continue that way for the foreseeable future, due to both fondness for characters/builds, and the difficulty I'd face in convincing some players to learn a new system. My third group is already constantly rotating systems, so we left 5e a while ago but nor are we looking for any sort of flagship replacement to commit to.

I wasn't that on the ship anymore anyways, as I mostly play other games or 2E (for which I have all the books I need), but zero interest in WOTC at this point. I bought one book from them this year (Ravenloft). That will be my last if they go forward with this (and even if they don't, I don't have much desire to give them my money anymore after reading the leaked license agreement).

 

[Bedrockgames]

For D&D-like games it will be older editions of D&D and OSR games for me.

I will be playing 2E and occasionally like to play OSR games. But the question on OSR now is whether these will be able to be made anymore in the future after the license change. I'm seeing a lot of designers from that sector who appear quite worried about the full implications of the new license.

Yup even something like the ability score system is potentially iffy Sans OGL.
