[QUOTE="JoesephBear, post: 5804946, member: 98378"] I'm working on my own D20-based fantasy RPG using the OGL. I don't know if it could be called a fantasy heart-breaker or not, but I will be honest. It's essentially my "What is D&D to Me?" game. I've taken all four editions, kept the things I liked, trimmed some fat, made all the mechanics work together, and re-did some math. Is it a "Frankenstein's Monster" of a game? I don't think so, as I've tried to make everything simple, consistent, light and airy. More like "Frankenstein's Angel Food Cake". I've even been writing my own setting for it, which I'll probably use to kickoff a blog where I post short stories. Who knows, maybe I'll get a nice little fan following? I've been thinking about what to do with it when I'm done. --Do I sell it like a full-priced RPG? Probably not. I'm just some guy who likes games with no real fame or recognition. --Do I sell it cheap through PDF and POD? Likely. Everyone likes spontaneous cheapies, and I'm not looking to be an entrepreneur. --Do I give it away for free? Very likely. I figure I'll just give the PDF away as show of gamer-love, charge for POD at unit-cost, and write stories for it that I enjoy writing. I can always make pocket change with Google Ad-sense if I want. Will it become a hit with book deals and a huge fan base with me becoming the next Paizo? Maybe in my dreams, but it's nice to dream once in a while. [/QUOTE]
