There is an old saying, "When one door closes, another one opens."
But you know what? I hate that saying.
When a door closes, you open it back up.
I grew up playing D&D. When you encounter a closed door, you make your "Open Doors" roll and kick it in!
Look. I love D&D, and I likely always will. While Hasbro's choices disappoint me, I am not going to let them stop my fun.
So at home, I am still going to play the games I like. On my blog and for my writing? Well, there are plenty of exciting existing alternatives. It now sounds like there are going to be more alternatives too.
But maybe the "OSR" phase of my game writing is over. It was fun, and I loved doing it. But many other games are out there that need love and attention, and I am excited to try them out.
One of the original purposes of my original "The Other Side" website was to talk about all sorts of games that I enjoyed. So let that continue now.

One D&D to rule them all,
One D&D's OGL to fine them,
drag the OSR into the dust grind them,
In the land of Wizards where lawyers lie
