[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7901836, member: 6801845"] Do we even know who said SCL was inspired by D&D 5E? Or that anyone said those words specifically? IIRC at that point they were still being careful not to give a version number, all the marketing was "Just D&D", no version. But at this point it's just an accusation thrown out by someone making an unsubstantiated judgement based on hearsay. As far as why I defend WOTC, why does it matter? An unfounded, unjustified insult was made about people that helped create a game I enjoy. I respect their work and their professionalism. It's just such a stretch to go from somebody's arguably reasonable marketing phrase about a game that was released 5 years ago. It was unfortunately poorly designed and critically panned. But no video game will ever slavishly implement 5E mechanics, they simply don't translate to the pace and style. That doesn't mean it can't be "inspired by". [/QUOTE]
