It's more likely we'd see something like an OD&D project that starts with an OGL version of that game, then has a list of hacks from things like James Maliszewski's Pulp D&D project mixed with my verisimilitude hacks and a bunch of retro-stupid hacks from Jeff. Because it's OGL, you could maybe toss in the entire SRD while you were at it, allowing you to "recreate" 3.5 D&D with it, or some wild variation of that game mixed with all the others. That sort of project seems a much more reasonable target at this point, though yeah, a giant, omnibus collection of hyperlinked OGL material would be incredibly awesome.<BR/><BR/>A sort of D&D Genome project. ;)trollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-88389392902862970912008-05-07T01:50:00.000-05:002008-05-07T01:50:00.000-05:00Currently there is a huge number of games availabl...Currently there is a huge number of games available for free. Some are licensed under Creative Commons or OGL. They are basically a huge buffet to be stolen from when hacking together something resembling a game.<BR/><BR/>Making the process easy for a random gamer would be a great deed, but it sounds kind of challenging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-63313686971374784982008-05-06T19:15:00.000-05:002008-05-06T19:15:00.000-05:00I'm not surprised.I think this is one of those ide...I'm not surprised.<BR/><BR/>I think this is one of those ideas that folks are going to need to beat on and beat on and beat on before it really begins to catch because the industry is so intensely focused on the glossy coffee-table book.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, RPGNet needs to fix their search software yesterday. :/<BR/><BR/>- Briantrollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-83609565517524706612008-05-06T19:04:00.000-05:002008-05-06T19:04:00.000-05:00Thing is, haven't we heard something like this bef...<B>Thing is, haven't we heard something like this before?</B><BR/><BR/>Well, if it's gonna go down like that I think it's only fair of me to point out that I first proposed this same idea (though I used HERO and GURPS as my examples, IIRC) on RPGnet many moons ago. I'd link to the thread if their softwares didn't suck donkey balls. I remember the thread distinctly because it was my first time starting my own thread there and it pretty much fell on deaf ears.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.com
