Is this the first kickstarter to use the SRD 5.1 CC?

@Umbran i didn’t know where to post this. It isn’t OGL.

Then it goes to TTRPGs General. I'll move it.

Yeah. This is going to get really confusing. 5E compatible supplements and games now go in the TTRPG forum...except for the ones that don't. For reasons.

 

[darjr]

Good point.
@Umbran what do you think if a cc tag somewhere? Or an srd CC tag? In the D&D group?

 

[Umbran]

So, we should note that "Using 5.1cc" doesn't mean "5e compatible". IIRC, Mutants and Masterminds used the 3e OGL, but you wouldn't call it compatible with D&D in any meaningful way. And that image does not say anything like "compatible with the world's most popular RPG" or the like, so I assumed it was a stand-along game, not a supplement for 5e.

Ultimately, what license they use isn't material. What game they are supposed to work with is.

And, I have no control over what tags exist. That's an admin thing, not a mod thing.

From the Kickstarter description it's expanding on the Grim Hollow setting and expanding the 5E content they have produced.

"Grim Hollow: Valikan Clans - New 5e Kickstarter from Ghostfire Gaming."

 

[darjr]

I get that but I think CC licensed games that are meant for D&D compatibility will be a thing. Every other CC game can go elsewhere.

And I know about the tag thing. I’ll make a formal request at some point.

Wanted your opinion.
