Yeah, OneD&D is doing basically the same thing, they just have five groups instead of 3 (4 for the Class Groups, and generic Feats).Limiting talents by class groups? Oh well. That's nothing some multi classing can't fix!

D&D definitely does belong to one company. But the game doesn't, in the sense of the rules, so the original quotation seems accurate enough.I mean, they’re right, though.
D&D doesnt belong to one company. Acting like it does is much more strange, like pretending the NFL solely owns American football.
Unless you're defining DnD as the literal ability to legally label products with the name, no, it doesn't.D&D definitely does belong to one company. But the game doesn't, in the sense of the rules, so the original quotation seems accurate enough.
They may try and follow all the rules of the NFL-- change a few things here and there-- but they still can't get many people to watch it because the fact is, it's really not the game itself people care about, it's the brand. People watch the NFL because it's the NFL, not because it uses a very specific set of American Football rules that everyone care about.
It's certainly possible -- I would expect e.g. Eldritch 'Knight to have access to some Magic talents, etc. But that becomes fiddly, and (I still believe) less fun overall. Much better would be not to have talents that are so superior to others, right? An S Tier magic talent will almost certainly mean more to a Wizard than to a Rogue, so let the Rogue have access to it.I think you are overlooking the possibility of an archetype/subclass/PrC/etc granting limited access to other trees as a class feature or to grant a choice of specific selection of talents outside the ones normally available. Also there is good in not allowing any fighter to "take take a magical or technical feat; let Sorcerers take a martial one." When that fighter/sorcerer/etc can't just snag an A or S tier talent from outside their normal pool it keeps the various thematic niches from being combined into a bland soup of "MOAR POWAH" allowing them (and their weaknesses) to be balanced separately in isolation for more interesting choices relevant to a niche's theme.
So Black Flag's Talents are just OneD&D's Feats except split into Martial/Magical/Techinical instead of Warrior/Expert/Priest/Mage/None
They very well might, but "access" is a broad range. Having "access" to a selection of them at any talent gain interval vrs being allowed to more broadly choose any qualifying magical talents but only at certain points rather than being able to choose them during any talent choice level are slightly different. We already know how that can be expanded in future supplements by looking back at 3.x too where it wasn't uncommon to see "this feat can be selected as a $class bonus feat"" or whatever the wording wasIt's certainly possible -- I would expect e.g. Eldritch 'Knight to have access to some Magic talents, etc. But that becomes fiddly, and (I still believe) less fun overall.

But Black Flag isn't about setting up the Patriots. It's about putting together a team that wants to play the same style together. It doesn't have to be a billion dollar company to be a success.There's also....a dramatically small percentage of men who can play the NFL game, at a level of execution people want.
Half of the NFL cannot even reach that bar, and its getting worse every year lol.

I’m not sure the allegory is quite apt. 5e is a ruleset, like football is a ruleset. Keeping with the football allegory, Savage World might be rugby, or perhaps soccer (which everyone around the world call football except for us North Americans).“This game has meant too much to us for too long to let it remain owned by just one company.”

I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the silliest reasonings for creating a new game such as this that I have ever heard.
What is this? If you love something just SOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUUCH then you should get a chance to own it and the person/company who does own it shouldn't get to own it anymore? That is... I'm sorry, that is just... I can't even.
"Hey! I've love my New England Patriots football team! This team has meant too much for me for to long for it to remain owned just by Robert Kraft! I should be able to own the New England Patriots too!"
"I love Disney! Been going to Disneyworld since I was a kid! I think that obviously entitles me to owning a piece of the Disney pie! It doesn't matter that it's actually someone else's! I just love it THAT MUCH that I now get to have it!"
Wow. Heh heh... that's some... that's certainly a thing. Whelp... best of luck to Kobold! Hope it all works out for them.
Pretty much exactly, yes.So Black Flag's Talents are just OneD&D's Feats except split into Martial/Magical/Techinical instead of Warrior/Expert/Priest/Mage/None
Heh heh... well based upon all the complaints we always hear about people refusing to use 3rd party products because they don't think they've been playtested... apparently there's only a small percentage of people who can make effective D&D rules too.There's also....a dramatically small percentage of men who can play the NFL game, at a level of execution people want.

I was hoping for something more.Pretty much exactly, yes.
It's a shame Paizo isn't in a position to capitalise on the 5e/DnDone switchover. With pathfinder 2e being both its own thing, and extremely new, they're not going to be snapping up many of the players in the switchover. But they're not going to drop 2e for a new system either.Pathfinder 5E confirmed.
I've been following you on this forum for a long time. I like your posts and your opinions a lot, even when we disagree.I was hoping for something more.
I was hoping for some publisher to feat a whole system of various feat replacement mechanics by now. Guess I have to learn how to make clean pdfs, hire an artist, and distrubute my system myself.
