[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 7961513, member: 6779310"] Not in terms of present market share... (based upon ICV2 data) Not in terms of player count in online games. And top 5 is more than 90% of the market. D&D is king Pathfinder is the queen. (It's D&D in drag...) FFG SW and Modiphius Star Trek are top 5. Fate is a top 10 plays; Fate Core is consistently top 10 seller. BRP is one of the oldest engines... and the Mongoose RuneQuest version is already open ;licensed. So this is purely a brand image move. the "OGL 00" mark is quite present in the marketplace, and has been for well over a decade (GORE was, IIRC 2006), but few actually adopted it. But it's not been top 5 in a long time. Even in terms of open license SRDs, the Mongoose RQ SRD didn't get much adoption. Nor did the earlier GORE SRD. The BRP engine has been driven by three major game lines: RQ, CoC, and Stormbringer/Hawkmoon/Elric!... With Pendragon passing through several hands... The only real reasons to use this license that I can see are: [LIST] [*]you hope to convert CoC or BRP Generic players [*]you want to support Chaosium's overall market share by letting Chaosium claim your sales numbers as part of their engine's total. [/LIST] It doesn't allow materials for use with their existing games. It specifically excludes the best mechanics, which can already be wedged into the MRQ SRD under the Wizards OGL 1.0a, at least if you live in the US (because choice of law then doesn't apply, and Chaosium being US - the mechanics are not protectable in the US, unlike France and Germany.)
