OneD&D will evolve the game steadily to ensure planned obsolescence and a continuing revenue stream. Microtransactions are more profitable than handbooks. I hope that, as it takes hold and the trend becomes clear, more independent creators will present their intellectual material in #SystemAgnostic form.
The #roleplaying hobby should resemble the #Fediverse, not #Twitter.
@Lane That's why I'm a big proponent of the d20 open source system, even if I am not a fan of how swingy it is.
@Condorito
FATE is better if you want free. But 5E may be left behind, just as 3.5 (in my opinion the best iteration of D&D) was set aside for chutes and ladders #4E.
House rules to keep min/maxers in check are easy enough. As #Gödel showed, a rich and interesting system is going to be breakable, so we as thinking beings have to be able to jump out of the system to see it from above.
@Lane I have played a LOT of Fate (and FUDGE before that!). I love narrative RPG systems, mostly because my GM style can best be described as 'Negligent Uncle'.
