[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9619830, member: 4348"] Why do you think there are clones in the first place? Of course, if we went with your idea (and in some ways it's not a bad idea) then there would never be a 3e, much less a 5e D&D. If people would only make things instead of taking someone else's creation and changing it to their own preferences (sometimes by destroying or burying that which they are changing it from in an attempt to make it so that their version is the only one available) we probably would have a lot more RPGs that were popular than just certain versions of D&D and the distant other RPGs that trail in it's wake. In some ways OSR was a response to 3e (that's about when it started, during the 3.x period) and people wishing that instead of buying an IP and changing the game, they had kept the old style of TSR D&D alive (which, ironically, with the idea above, would have stopped with 1e because 2e also was built by others rather than the ones who originally created AD&D, much less D&D).
