D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

[SkidAce]

I was never on a ship to begin with. To my mind "D&D" and "what WotC (or any other publisher) might print" are not synonymous. I'll keep playing D&D, whether it is 5E, some amalgam of previous editions, or some wholly homebrewed thing for me and my friends. I just probably won't be buying any new WotC while this regime/policy remains in effect.

This is the Way.

As a small press publisher, I plan on moving to CC-BY for all of my products that don't already use it. As a player/runner of games, I plan to move to Palladium Fantasy 1e (recently republished) as my D&D alternative or, if I feel like a narrative game, Dungeon World. I'll probably also spend some time with Barbarians of Lemuria.

I haven't been a "one ruleset over all" kind of guy since the FASERIP Marvel Super Heroes was published. I haven't run two successive campaigns in the same ruleset in decades. So, OGL or not, D&D isn't likely to be the next game I run.

So, I feel very little urgency on this - I can wait to see what the licenses actually look like. I can wait until 2024, when OneD&D is supposed to be published, and when WotC might start taking royalties.

There's no rush.

I’ve been itching to do Worlds Without Number. I had already shared the free download version with all my players letting them get prepared. It’s D&D-imitative in an enough of mechanical ways to get running. Compatible with B/X adventures.

Can even borrow the psionic classes from Stars Without Number to get Dark Sun-like story going.

I'm sorry, what is CC-BY?
Thanks.

Honestly, even without the OGL fiasco I was planning a D&D break, and will likely switch to the FFG/ Edge Star Wars game for a while.

Honestly, I'm probably done.

However, in the immediate term if I do continue gaming, my D&D-like game of choice would be "Level Up" - I already have the books, it's basically a better version of 5e anyway, so I'll go with that. And obnoxiously correct anyone who refers to it as "D&D".

And then I'll keep my eye open for another game to move to in a few years. Though I'd probably make a pit stop in something sci-fi or horror first, before looking for a D&D replacement - that has tended to be my pattern when D&D starts to get tired.

Other: Traveller. It's my habit to switch RPG systems periodically, I quickly get bored of playing the same game. 5e, lasting something over 5 years, has actually done pretty well in that respect.

But genre is the big killer for me: I am heartily sick of Fantasyland. So I'm up for any colour so long as it's not fantasy.
