Yeah. They don't. But they are obvious, very loud, and difficult to ignore. :) Look, I recognize that part of the problem here is that because people feel betrayed ( whether that is a reasonable or appropriate thing in the OGL rug yanking is an entirely different conversation ) but one has to...

To WotC and/or the Dungeons and Dragon trademark? Absolutely. ORC was enlightened self-interest.

The trademark has not be damaged. The trademark has vastly more value outside of TTRPG than inside it. OGL products haven't even MENTIONED the tie to D&D since the D20STL ended. No. This did did less damage than Pat Pulling to the trademark.

Or maybe she wasn't. Maybe it was decided on high because they thought it impacted licensing opportunities and was dictated further up. Without her or others directly involved sharing tea, it's all idle speculation. Is it reasonable to assume? I'm not even sure on that.

I didn't get that as the point. Which I suppose should also be part and parcel of the Buck Rogers argument upthread...

Dreampark had its own pile of problems.

The High Adventure game is definitely offlimits until 2029. The XXV game seemed more like a Cyber and Genepunk reskin of the 70s TV show but my copy appears to be in hiding at the moment.

Oh, you're right. That's a few years post. Have to remember which timeline I'm in again.

Several of the Amazing Engine settings were solid. The engine, as I recall, was a bit meh. I agree Alternity was way more interesting than came across. D20 Modern is probably my choice. Narrator But it was not a valid choice for the inquiry... *edit - wrong timeline.

Now there's a name I have not heard in a long time....

You are thinking of Justifiers, I think.
