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

[Yaarel]

I have an eye on some non-D&D gaming systems.

But now I need to look at what THEIR legal agreements look like.

Are any of them "safe havens"?

To play or publish for?

WAY TOO EARLY to tell.

Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

Recently, with regard to Hasbro-WotC, its been worst, after worst, after worst.

It doesnt hurt to plan.

DMs especially need both.

Putting content online for players. Putting popular content up for sale.

There is a blurry line between fan and indy corporation.

I think Monte Cook has probably the biggest/highest profile one not 100% sure.

I’ve been playing WFRP4e for a while now. I’d happily switch to that system 100% of the time and play the offshoots - Imperial Maledictum etc.

However I’m 98% sure this will blow over in about 6 months once it all calms down and cooler heads prevail. There is a reason Paizo isn’t making threats, warnings and pronouncements.

I think I'll continue to write stuff for Trophy Gold and work on my own non-OGL OSR fantasy hack.

I’m not jumping ship. I barely use the electronics side of d&d. my biggest concern is how it affects critical role

Lot of sky is falling with all these threads

Hillarious to me are the people who are abandoning D&D to play a game that only exists because of the OGL license. Whether you CHOOSE not to purchase new D&D books, or CAN'T purchase new Pathfinder/DCC/OSE books, you're gonna be reliant on your ingenuity to expand the game.

I don't know for SURE if I will bail on 6e yet. I am not a developer, but it disgusts me how they're crushing the competition and putting down small businesses, and reaping huge profits from the bigger guys. I have used Kobold Press extensively the past three years, and honestly I think their content is better than WotC. They announced a new core fantasy game they're working on, and if that takes off (which I expect it to be quite good) that could very well be the new Pathfinder and a game I would gravitate to.
