Is this not contradictory?: From the FAQ: What else will these memberships get you at the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum? These memberships will only be for a limited time and only during this campaign. These very special perks are separate from the normal Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum memberships, but...

Interesting take aways to be had from some questions Mellie has answered on the Cortex RPG subreddit regarding examples of what's okay regarding referencing (or even rewriting) rules (in your own words):

Yes this is confusing. I think it works to their detriment that they are creating a FAQ and answering questions in one place for what are technically two different (though obviously related) licenses: one "fan" (non-commercial) and one "publisher" (commercial). Elements of one might seem like...

It's immaterial, though. Fandom wants to keep Cortex close, and is providing an alternative way for folks to publish for it (the as-yet-unreleased Creator Studio), while also letting the non-publishing fans create whatever they want and not make money on it (the fan part of the license: "don't...

Correct! The OGL started with Wizards/D20 but has long since been expanded to cover many other systems and circumstances. Evil Hat specifically uses it and Creative Commons for Fate. What I don't follow is why people feel they are owed every system and/or license as is if it is OGL/CC? My...

It is not.

I believe 5e says you can effectively search a room in about a minute. B/X does a 10x10 area in about 10 minutes (1 turn). I recently went with 10 minutes for a 30x30 area and used the DMG Movement on a Map pacing rules as per 10 minutes rather than 1 minute and assumed searching, and it's...

The habitat section should include a listing of the terrain types that align with the DMG. It's cool if you want to note new, campaign setting specific ones, too, but the second it moves away from the DMG, that limits its usefulness.

House ruling clerics into wizards is the simplest solution ever: replace spell book with prayer book and have it work the exact same. Sorcerers and Warlocks might simply be "burdened" with a requirement that they interact with a spell once before they can ever learn it: either witness it take...

Although brand new, r/RPGpromo is a growing subreddit and it's sole purpose is for folks to share their new and upcoming TTRPG releases, crowd funding campaigns, podcasts, streams, and so on.

That... Was a mess. One more company I won't feel compelled to support due to their views.

Marvel Heroic (Cortex) by miles. It makes it equally fun to play Punisher, Thor, and Jubilee in the same scenario. The streamlining in Cortex Prime makes it even better.

Uncaged volumes 1-4. They are all one-shots, but easily half of them beg for an additional couple scenes to setup or wrap up, so you could make them more than a single session's worth of gaming with minimal work. Same with 12 Days of Midwinter and the many entries in the Encounters in the...

Depends on what the game is about per Session Zero. If we're expecting exploration or investigation to be heavy, I care more about the world. If it's "We're playing Tomb of Horrors" or "Die Vecna" or something the world could be whatever generic fantasy grab bag as long as the fights and...

I don't think it's a minority at all. Even folks using elements of published adventures homebrew large parts, and the sales of third party monster books and the like suggests published adventures couldn't possibly make use of all the sources of monsters, magic items, new classes and spells, etc...

AD&D had a love for d100 rolls: morale, initial attitude/reaction. Initiative, charging, spell casting time: radically different. Thief skill progression. Fleeing/ chase rules I believe movement and range measurements were changed nearly across the board. Not positive on that one, though...

The DeScriptors RPG is a diceless, word play tabletop role-playing game driven by transformative character arcs. Your player characters will undergo a journey in which they never end a game session with the same traits they started with! Available in ever-growing forms since 2015, the...
