Supposing D&D is gamist, what does that mean?

[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8635847, member: 82106"] 4e may be 'locked behind the GSL', but you have the SRDs for 3.x, and 5e that are OGL. That covers virtually all of the basic core stuff that is in 4e in some form or other. I mean, sure, it is POSSIBLE WotC might try to object if you literally CLONED 4e, but go read this [URL='https://www.giantelectronicbrain.com/homl.html']HoML[/URL] and while it certainly is unlikely to have come to WotC's attention, my guess is they could care less. I put an OGL on it, so what are they really going to say? Its not like I'm copying 4e powers wholesale, and the class mechanics in my system are actually fairly different from 4e at this point. I mean, I would not consider this game to be 'AEDU' in any strict sense (though if you play it, the effect is pretty close, but I use Power Points instead of 'slots'). Its a D&D-like game, certainly it isn't really any closer to 4e, mechanically, than 13a is, though it should play a LOT more like 4e than 13a does. Obviously you could hew even closer in overall play to 4e if you wanted, but then I just figure there's no point in cloning an existing game that you can easily buy on Amazon or whatever. [/QUOTE]
