Why not replace "terrible", a highly subjective and negative term, with "controversial"? Otherwise, I don't see a point to this discussion except to give people another opportunity to bash something that other people my enjoy. Believe it or not, some people actually liked (and still like) those...

Spiraling out.

Oh, how I wish I could wake up and not be this obsessive, useless person who wants to fix, polish, and improve everything that is so critically unimportant to everyone else. 😔

Deleted. I don't feel like I'm contributing to the topic in any positive way.

The mechanics were not my favorite thing about the system. It was the design, the format, and the way the game played. It didn't always make sense, but the intent was very clear. Every player would feel as equally valued and equally powerful regardless of the choices they made for their...

There's (at least) two types of balance when the topic comes up in D&D. First, there's player balance that you're describing that exists between the players (PvP). Then there's game balance between the players' side and the game system, or the environment side (PvE). The latter can also be...

But wait, there's more! Machine Head (Message in a Bottle by The Police) Fear Factory (School by Nirvana) Infectious Grooves (Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin) Exodus (Pump It Up by Elvis Costello)

I don't know about BEST, but here's some songs that are definitely covers. Armored Saint (Saturday Night Special by Lynyrd Skynyrd) Flotsam & Jetsam (Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting by (Sir) Elton John) Mordred (Superfreak by Rick James) Helloween (Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull)...

Never miss an opportunity to throw these two into the mix...

I know a lot of D&D fans who also like MMOs and board games, myself included. So I don't know why that's a negative comparison. But I understand why that became the standard dismissal for people who want to feel like part of the crowd when bashing this particular edition. They can't help...

I don't know about anyone else, but I have learned a lot from this discussion today. My thanks to everyone who participated so far, and a special thanks to @kenada for the informative links. I have a much better idea about how these licenses work than when I woke up today. I hope that others who...

One day I'll make people realize that having the conversation was more important than having the right answer. 😁

I'll try to explain how I see it. And to be fair, I could be wrong about this. Here goes. I think we're all in agreement that 4e needs an OGL that everyone can use to make whatever 4e-like game they want. An OGL for the community, if you will. I look at the OGL for Orcus and see an OGL...

I have a concern, so I mentioned the risk. More important to me, however, is what it says about the author and the OGL. This is not an efficient product if its borrowing from every possible source it can find. That's all well and go for the specific game they want to create, but not for an...

You know what? I started writing my response a few hours ago (yes, it can take that long for me to write a post sometimes) after those three responses came in pretty quick. I thought more would be flooding in while I was writing. I'll be happy if the topic ends there. That was essentially my...

I realize I kicked a hornet's nest, but I don't want to spend the rest of the day explaining myself. So I'll do this once, and then I'm going to try and drop the subject (i.e. I'll do my best not to respond to any more comments or discussions about Orcus because I would like to move past it)...

For those of you who continue to think Orcus is a viable option, I invite you to take a look at the copyright notice (section 15) of its OGL. No thanks. This is not the way.
