I've heard good things about Shadowdark. I was unsure if it was an off-shoot of 5E (like Tales of the Valiant). Re: Your post about Ptolus - There are a lot of pieces of the setting that I like. I'm certainly not against using it. I own a physical copy of the D&D 3E version. I would need to...

Maybe. I played Rifts a few times, so I'm open to checking it out. I liked a lot of Palladium's stuff. The mechanics of the system were sometimes a bit wonky. But, I still have some friends who would possibly play.

I would be open to Genesys (as it is the underlying engine for games I already play). If there's something that fills a similar niche as DCC, I'm open to hearing about it. I like that DCC is familiar enough to D&D players so as to not be wholly alien when trying to learn, while also going back...

It's been quite a few years, but I somewhat remember Cook saying that Ptolus was what he felt a setting would look like if a setting were built specifically for the 3rd Edition system and built assuming that the physics engine (for a lack of better words) of 3rd Edition is how the settings world...

They could try hiring Pinkerton Agents to harass them in compliance. Kinda worked for WotC.

"A different thread is something I'll likely do later on, after I look at some of the suggestions people have offered throughout this thread. For now, my short elevator pitch would be something like Ptolus, but either fully embracing magi-tech (airships, machines, and such) OR closer to...

•Usually, if I'm planning on running GURPS, I take time to convert other things to that system. City Stats is helpful at doing that, but I still usually need at least some basic info from the original product to know what I'm working toward. If people want to support an ethical (to the best of...

I answered that in response to @Morrus. Though, I'm having issues with the multi-quote. Give me a sec, and I'll copy my response so as to post it again here. Edit: To Link to Previous Post Post in thread 'Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State...

I am. Doing me includes answering the questions you had. What other questions do you have?

How is it vague? You asked questions. They were answered. They've been answered throughout this thread. So, any frustration that has come from 2-3 interactions with you (in which I provided answers) is not something I understand. If you have specific questions, ask. •The hypothetical...

Currently, I play a lot of DCC. I also have friends who still play 5E on a regular basis. As this product is all of the things you mentioned and is made for both systems, a comparable product would also cover that. In 3.5 stuff, I own Ptolus. For DCC, I looked at some of the Lankmar stuff, but...

You would think so.

I appreciate the link. Of all the options, paying $270 for the paperback and then still needing to do the work to convert it games I currently play is one.

For people buying it solely for nostalgia, sure. For people who just want a comparable product? I disagree I would buy a comparable product if it were produced for the games I play.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I appreciate that you (and others) have offered to provide alternative options.

That a comparable product doesn't exist is part of my point. Is there anyone who is willing to create one so as to produce content?

No. I am suggesting that, if a comparable competitive product were available, that would be a way to oppose JG in a way produces rather than reduces content. Given the volume of voices heard here combined with this forum being one that includes content creators, it is a plausible alternative...

I can't speak for anyone else, but it would make a difference to me -and I imagine others as well. I don't have any nostalgia for the product. I never played the original. I read the description, watched a video about it, and it seemed like material that I would enjoy using for a DCC campaign...

Who are some examples that you would recommend?

If those who are expressing opposition to the product we're to write, produce, and market a similar product; that may serve as a better way to sway people who want that material away from a company that you oppose.
