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?


Yeah, we def don’t need another “5e hack” either. Like it’s built to play the kind of game dnd wants to deliver, sure. You’re not gonna get a good Modern or Fantasy gameplay out of 5e anyways. At least, not better than just learning an actually new system.
