This is a beautiful thing. The wonderful people behind Cepheus Engine are making a clean-room sci-fi RPG called Star Nomad, just in case the OGL drama invalidates their game and gets Cepheus Engine pulled.
See how pointless pulling the OGL was?
You are talking about imaginative people who can write games in their sleep and have experience writing rules and publishing, with built-in groups of fans ready to dive in and support them. This game will be ready by mid-2023, in a few months. And the game will be even better once they feel free to come up with new ideas and what they want to see in a sci-fi game.
Present us with adversity, and we respond with innovation.
I feel Wizards only revealed their greed and created a massive dislike for their new games and platforms. People are abandoning D&D and seeking alternatives, which the indie community will happily build for them quickly. And the licenses will be something they have no control over, allowing 3rd parties to create things for free, and pull people farther away from D&D.
In a year, the OGL will likely be mostly forgotten and unused. A footnote in gaming.
This is like fighting water by punching it repeatedly. What were they thinking?
