This is just a humble thread about games that take inspiration from 4e D&D in some way, shape, or form.
Explicit 4e D&D Inspiration in Credits or Book
4e Inspiration Stated by Author/Designer
4e Inspiration Unstated but Present
Honorable Mentions
* Stonetop (Jeremy Strandberg): a hack of Dungeon World that came out of a 4e D&D campaign
IMHO, one of the more interesting aspects is the significant overlap of games above also inspired by Powered by the Apocalypse and Forged in the Dark games: e.g., Fabula Ultima, Daggerheart, Lancer/ICON, Beacon, Gubat Banwa, and Strike!
