Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 8555072" data-attributes="member: 4348">I started work on a 4e OGL clone a few years ago, but work halted on it as I got other items taking up my time (read, other writing opportunities that pay a LOT more than free).It takes a lot of time and you have to be EXTREMELY careful with your wording.  The problem is there are many things in 4e that mean a specific thing in the rules, those items CANNOT really be used as they are words with a specific meaning for a specific game, so all of that has to be reworked and renamed and reworded.I may pick it back up in the future, but the cost to benefit ratio is REALLY far down the chain.  I'd need a lot of enthusiasm to continue right now, and when I was working on it there just didn't seem to be all that many that were actually interested enough in it to keep me pursuing it.I HAVE thought about coming up with a MUCH more SIMPLIFIED version of it, for 5e and as an OGL, but I think that's not what many are wanting.  It would be easier to do and take less time (enough that I could probably do it on the side without it taking up so much time away from things that actually make money for me) to do that, but I'm not sure people would actually want something like that.PS:  I could probably easily make it somewhat compatible with 4e adventures and modules with the simplified system, it wouldn't be that hard, but I'd need to know people were actually interested in it to take it up again, and I just haven't gotten that type of encouragement.</blockquote>
