If I'm not playing 5th Edition, I'm probably playing BECMI. And if I'm not playing D&D, I'm probably playing Call of Cthulhu or Dread. These have both been true for the last decade, and will continue to be true for decades to come. So I'm good.
I picked up Old School Essentials and the Advanced version on a lark last year, but recent events have had me considering running a game (maybe B4 or B3 -> X2 -> ?? ). I may actually even pull my 2E books off the shelf and give them a good dusting.
 

Probably pf2e, but if the OGL really screws them, and they cant make a non ogl option, Probably WWN, it is a great middle ground between modern 5e design, and OSR, that works well, light weight, and fun.
Maybe give Savage worlds a shot too. since its actually a generic system that can do a lot unlike 5e
 

When its next my turn to run, odds are I will pull out EarthDawn again. I usually don't run the default setting but put it into something historic (e.g. Roman Empire, Beowulf, etc).
 

If I was jumping ship, it would be for Pathfinder since I/we would adjust the quickest to the rules if they are still close(ish) to 3.5. I'm not planning on jumping though and have been through a lot with the game and all the old companies that owned it.

A lot of the 3PP stuff may fade, but some may rise and some companies might stay around. I mostly homebrew a FR game so little will affect me.
 


I also have a copy of Mouseguard that I never got to try out. Maybe I'll put a one-shot together, for the next time a gaming session gets rescheduled...

Unrelated to the whole OGL controversy, I want to run a transformers or fabula ultima game. Fabula ultima seems like a nice simple game with some interesting mechanics that I'm tempted to pull into my 5e games, primarily inventory points that you can spend to "create" some basic items.
