I wonder if they're going to try and make it a more fully fleshed out future noir world. It's not really cyberpunk I don't think because the heavy body modification better with tech cyberpunk ethos doesn't seem there in Blade Runner. It is more transhumanist if anything.

I was involved in a Discord server where the goal was to make a new best version of Shadowrun ever because people weren't happy with what Catalyst did for 5th and 6th edition and it devolved into competing ideas, some forking of the project and a whole lot of reviewing and voting and the project...

It's finally GURPS Dungeon Fantasy's time to shine!

Apple definitely won reining in the Power PC clone era.

I think the games that need WOTC SRD and IP are clearly more affected than others (like Pathfinder). For instance I'm not sure why FATE is on the OGL at all, it's probably just for use as a license for others to publish FATE products, because I'm not sure what they're taking from WOTC D&D...

I'm trying to think of a situation where the originating company benefited from clones, and I am coming up blank. It's a little different with WOTC because some of this stuff is add ons to the core WOTC game, but people could have made a lot of that without needing an OGL. You could have used...

The Fantasy Trip. Also probably qualifies as OSR. Warhammer

My non professional idea would be that you're getting small publishers free riding off the bigger publisher. How many people are buying D&D in order to play amazing third party products?

Allowing strong competitors using your IP is not the best thing for your business. See also the IBM PC and the Mac clone era.

I unfortunately don't believe that. The OGL was a tactical error that allowed Paizo to grow and flourish using familiar D&D IP. D&D now doesn't need the OGL and all the D20 come along games and third party stuff to be successful. I don't think D&D 5th edition took off because of the OGL...

That last paragraph about being receiving bad PR and community pushback clearly shows this isn't legitimate.

This would have been my second nomination, their current The Enemy Within campaign is just great.

Actual Play: The Redacted Reports - a great Delta Green podcast played straight, most humor is in-character gallows type. Everyone is in character almost all of the time, sound quality is also excellent. Talk: Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff - Ken Hite and Robin Laws, erudite polymath game...

At least Magic has the advantage of being a game that people actually need the card to play and future sets can add cool things that people want to be able to use in game. Baseball cards, on the other hand, were going to be an amazing collectible investment in the 1980s and 1990s but all the...

Neon City Overdrive. Clocks in as a 72 page PDF generic Cyberpunk RPG with a Blades in the Dark style dice resolution system coupled with a FATE style aspect tagging system to build dice pools. Has lots of setting and adventure suggestions included. I believe its system is or is planned to be...

Yes, a great piece of work.
