[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8902516, member: 11760"] Except one of the biggest third party publishers, Kobold Press is making the "Black Flag" game. And it [I]is[/I] going to be compatible with 5E. How do we know? Because they published this a few hours ago on their [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deepmagic/deep-magic-2-spellcasters-emporium-for-5th-edition-games/faqs']Deep Magic 2 Kickstarter campaign FAQ[/URL]: That means Black Flag appears to be using Vancian magic, subclasses, 5E PHB classes, 5E energy types and more. Even if Black Flag is only an SRD (and it's not clear to me whether it'll be a full game beyond that, since a 5E-compatible SRD would allow Kobold Press to keep chugging along in perpetuity), that means WotC won't be able to stop 5E-compatible content from coming out without risking a very bad court decision. My group is already talking about switching to the Black Flag SRD when it comes out and homebrewing our own system from there. I cannot imagine we will be alone or that some of the stuff built on the BFSRD won't be made publicly available for others to do the same. [/QUOTE]
