'Test' is a term historically used by other TTRPGs, but D&D has always gone with 'check'. Now we have official rules which say "When you make a d20 Test".
I'm curious about the adoption of terminology used by other TTRPGs. Any thoughts on why 'test' is suddenly now a D&D term, and has replaced' check'?
My initial thought is that that terminology is not in the OGL. Is that a possible reason?
