[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 871910, member: 151"] You're thinking of FUDGE. Fuzion is from Gold Rush Games, and was the basis of several of their more recent efforts, like Bushido's newest edition. I think the last version of Champions used the Fuzion system, as did several anime RPGs, IIRC. FUDGE is the largest prior to d20, but it's not really like the OGL, per se. You still need to go to Steffan O' Sullivan and ask "Mother, may I". He can retain the right not to issue you a royalty-free license (though I am unaware of him doing so and doubt he would). Commercial licenses to FUDGE are at his sufferance, and he can revoke it that privelege at any time. The OGL is there to stay, and they can't yank away what has already been released, correct? Other than that, while there have been other open-source stuff, none of it, AFAIK, is actually known to more than a handful of folks. I mean, until I googled the subject just now, I'd never heard of Circe, Epitome, Grey Lotus or Jazz...and I'd wager that they're mostly home-brews that have little or no support beyond the original author. Nothing wrong with that, of course (heck, I did my own GURPS Falkenstein and hosted a site for it a few years back, so I'm not throwing stones, here). My point was more that this was the first one I'd seen that would actually interact with games actually in print, and might have supplements that would actually be seen at your FLGS, as opposed to the author's website. As it is, I'm going to check some of these other systems out, but I don't really [i]need[/i] another set of RPGs. It's just interesting to me. [/QUOTE]
