I’m super glad to see some of these names!

I think I only know Frog God and Kobold Press. I should look into the other companies. Any past highlights from these publishers I should look at?

Ghostfire Gaming does Grim Hollow. They also distribute other publishers, so they are involved in many successful crowdfunding campaigns.

I've backed some Nord Games stuff, like crit decks, which I like and have used for years now. I don't know if or what setting material or game systems they put out, so can't speak to that.

I've bought a bit of stuff from Kobold Press. Really like their monster manuals and accompanying "lairs" books.

I have bought A LOT of Frog God Games stuff. Have never heard of any of the others, but will check them out.

From Nord Games - Spectacular Settlements and Dangerous Destinations have been good sources to randomly generate locations and are basically system neutral. I've used their Revenge of the Horde bestiary book a bit to make some nice variants of the standard enemy creatures. I have their other bestiary of undead but haven't had a chance to look through it much.

Griffon's Saddlebag has put out two books of magical items, I've used a lot of the first one already but the kickstarter for the second was during a month when my budget was tight. There's also a nice online database of items, including some available for free if you want to take a look at what they put out The Ledger+

Nord games is very good

I like that these old school companies are banding together to continue 5E support, no matter what comes.if WotC pulls a double-cross with OneD&D (doubtful, but possible), I'm covered. If ObeD&D remains compatible...more options that play nicely, and a healthy ecosystem.

Old school? What?

Like 2014-2015. If my children who play D&D weren't born yet, that's old wchiol.

One day I hope to make such a list

I have more of your books than everyone but Nord.

I think a few of those companies didn't exist in 2015. Also I think a couple of them have recently had million dollar kickstarters.

Note I'd have to verify this so here's my stone of salt.

I recognize pretty much all of them.

I have all of Frog God and Kobold Press 5e materials. Nord Games I have their books (their monster books are good if you want 20 variations of standard humanoids to vary the challenge). The rest I have a scattering of their stuff or at least know who they are.

Frog God started as Necromancer Games who probably is the one company most responsible for the OGL existing.

Kobold Press very often does player handbook style books and additions, so I am comfortable with them leading this effort (I think Wolfgang Bauer used to work for WoTC).

I honestly don’t think that a new non-SRD ruleset is needed with the CC move, but nice to have in case it is.

Honestly only familiar with Ko old Peess from this grouping, just glad to see a bunch of folks rallying around it.

/me turns to dust, blows away in the wind...

I am now realizing that I could start up a 4e D&D game and call it "old school D&D" and be technically correct - the best kind of correct.
