We Will Continue with 5E (aka "Ermergerd Dave Make Up Yer Mind") (Patreon)
Content
Hey all,
I just got off the phone with my attorney, Noah Downs, one of the heads of the #opendnd movement. He doesn't believe the MorkBorg strategy is good long-term. I guess I'll have to send back all these doom-metal albums I ordered.
Plus, I met with many of the creators in the same space, talking about keeping 5e alive.
Here's the plan. And I'm sorry that there's a lot of back and forth. But if you've been my Patron long enough, well... you know that's par for the course.
The COOL and the 501(c)3
We are going to continue with the COOL. And that agreement will be held by a non-profit. And it will be 100% irrevocable.
Wish.com D&D 5e, here we come...
I will make an SRD that's going to be about as close to 5e as I can get. GMs roll dice. Classes. Etc. Of course, it'll be a totally new system called Five Elements. But you can call it 5e if you want.
The world will be open, too.
One thing I *know* will set us apart from everyone else is that I will let people actually make shit for the world. Like... not just using the rules. But the world. You can use proper names, cities, whatever. Just, you know... cite the source.
I need your support!
I will need help from all of you and your support so we don't get washed away by all the other people trying to do their own thing. Kobold Press, MCDM, Savage Worlds, etc. are all trying to enter the battle. They're bigger than me. But we're faster and scrappier. And it's not that I think they have bad systems. It's just we don't have time to wait for them to finish.
Thanks y'all, I love you.
I'm tired. Going to go eat some yogurt and listen to metal.
Feel free to yell at me in the comments or on Discord.
