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 hope many.

I tire of D&D's stranglehold on players minds. It's slowly getting easier and easier to suggest people read a second book, and while that's great to see, we still have plenty of work to do.

And, no, for the 11th time, I will not run my Star Trek game in 5e that's insane.

What's truly funny is that this isn't the first time this happened. 4th edition had WotC bamboozle third party creators by fiddling with the OGL, and third party creators responded by making a rival to D&D. They called it Pathfinder.

Then you look a little further afield and you see a massive indie TTRPG community that I have to assume had an influx of new designers who only found out about it due to the OGL incident.
