I say just slow your plans down, I hope you decide to stay with what you have done with 5e and continue with the OGL 1.0a. Just my two cents.

Richard Smith

You, and essentially all the "3rd party" creators, did a fantastic, unprecedented job of pressuring Hasbro/WotC on this issue. I would suggest taking the win, by which I mean continuing to use the 5E ruleset (under Creative Commons) and (to whatever extent it remains useful) the OGL you fought to preserve. 5E is still an excellent system and even after the kerfuffle will likely remain the most widely adopted RPG ruleset for the foreseeable future. When Black Flag is published, you can make a determination about whether to switch, but with the CC release of the 5.1 SRD I have to wonder what the purpose of Black Flag is any more, and whether it will have any momentum left.

This does indeed seem like a HUGE win for both the third party creators and the community at large. I would encourage you to do what feels right to you. Your Greyhawk material can work with virtually any system and BRW games can also be modified for other systems as well. With regard to moving to Black Flag, I've spoken to many players and DMs who are eagerly awaiting this system. I hope KP continues to pursue it as an alternative to D&D. One last thought. Although this is a victory, I believe WotC is just "kicking the can down the road" on this. There is still the forthcoming OneD&D to consider. I can easily see them putting intense restrictions on this "new" system and disallowing any content that they do not control. While I think the community was very clear on their end, I am not convinced that WotC won't try again.

Sounds like a win.
