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?

They didn't have a license, true. What I was referring to was them getting sued happy, for good reason in a lot of cases, because people were slapping "Gary Gygax's D&D" on homebrew modules and trying to sell them. Got them a lot of bad publicity, and they ended up selling.

@AngryCommieKender As far as I'm aware, that happened far earlier than the era you cited. I've heard that people were calling them "T$R" and "They Sue Regularly" in the early 90s, before the general public exploded onto the Net.
