[QUOTE="mxyzplk, post: 4201734, member: 16450"] You either didn't read or didn't understand my last post. There are many games that companies have put out that are openly licensed and are not d20/D&D-based. I listed them, but will do so again. RuneQuest, a venerable percentile-based system that shares its roots with Call of Cthulhu. [url]http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/runequest.php[/url] Spirit of the Century, whose FATE engine is a FUDGE variant. [url]http://evilhat.wikidot.com/fate-v3[/url] Traveller, which is a science fiction ruleset also originating back in the day. [url]http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/series.php?qsSeries=51[/url] [url]http://www.travellerrpg.com/[/url] Action!, which is a new modern-focused 3d6-based game system. [url]http://www.action-system.com/[/url] There are more, as well as others put out under other licenses like Creative Commons. May I suggest [url]http://mxyzplk.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/open-gaming-for-dummies/[/url] if you'd like to find out more. No, Palladium et al. have not done anything for open gaming. Palladium is the worst of the crowd, with their anti-fan site doctrine. But none of these other companies have ever tried (that I know of) to try to get other companies to sign agreements that require them to *not* produce open games. [/QUOTE]
