How Many RPG's Are Being Made Because of the WotC OGL Debacle? (ttrpg.network)

I just discovered Kobold Press's Black Flag Role Playing system and Tales of the Valorant game being made. I had no idea that was a thing.

Added with the ones I did know about:

Critical Role's Daggerheart
MCDM's new RPG (Matt Colville's company)
And we can count the Pathfinder 2's updates if we want

I wonder how many other RPG's are being made as a result of that debacle.

It does seem like a lot. WotC really shot themselves in the foot spawning all this new competition, didn't they?

I don't think that's true about dnd staying in dnd. Just that it takes time to transition away.

In both of the tables I play in, none of us are buying any new WOTC stuff. We're finishing up existing campaigns, and we have a (fairly last minute) 3rd party 5e Xmas one shot coming because we don't want to force anyone to have to learn a new system for it.

But we're already branching out into PBTA and the more DM and leadership focused of us already have pathfinder 2e books and everyone is on board with trying pf2e.
