[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9127407, member: 467"] This came up in another thread and I thought it was worth discussing separately: Just how many 5E RPGs can there be? How many will the market and community support? By "5E RPG" I mean (and I think [USER=6747251]@Micah Sweet[/USER] also meant) games built on the 5E SRD that, while expanding on and/or tweaking WotC 5E, don't veer too far from its design. So, LevelUp and Valiant are "5E RPGs" but Shadowdark isn't (but it is still awesome). As it is, once 2024 5E comes out, we will have four significant 5E RPGs: LevelUp, TOme of the Valiant, 2014 5E and 2024 5E. There are likely some less known 5E RPGs already out there and I am sure other folks are doing their own things with the 5E SRD as we speak. So, how many different versions of 5E can the community support? Will the presence of unofficial 5E games cause disruptions for WotC with the 2024 roll out? Are any non 2024 5E games even viable once it rolls out? Will people continue to play 2014 5E? What do you think? [/QUOTE]
