[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7842034, member: 22779"] Umm, no? Look at all those games that came out of the 2000's - Mutants and Masterminds, Pathfinder, Blue Rose, and a bajillion others - they were all built on the d20 OGL. Which isn't particularly any different than the 5e OGL. The difference is that today, people have learned that banging out yet another d20 game isn't really what the market is wanting. We've GOT a million d20 games out there. d20 became the GURPS of gaming with a d20 version of virtually every IP out there plus, many, many more. It's just that in these days, most of those games have faded into obscurity and it's become a lot more common for new games to come with their own set of mechanics. Or, they are borrowing from the OGL clones like FATE and whatnot which have released their own versions of OGL for their own systems, allowing for familial groups of games which fit a given genre better than the D20 system does. I mean you mention Cthulhu. Do you mean D20 Cthulhu? Classic? Trail of Cthulhu? I'm sure there's a Savage Worlds Cthulhu out there. Or maybe one of the fifteen other versions? [/QUOTE]
