Hey folks, I just stumbled upon this forum/thread today while looking for more info on BRP OGL. I'm not part of DwD but I'm a huge fan and have worked with Bill Logan in the past, and I'm currently working on a d00Lite game of my own. Thought I'd share/confirm a couple things:
* DwD is essentially a one-man primary label these days, and Bill is a pretty busy dude. But Frontier Space (their latest game) was a culmination of YEARS of work, time and money invested into it.
* Publishing order was BareBones Fantasy, Covert Ops and then Frontier Space. They started simple and then evolved the system.
* The system is a pretty straightforward percentile system. Something to note is that every game does things it's own way -- it's not a "universal" system and each game caters to its genre or style slightly differently.
* It does lean into tactical play, as everything is measured in spaces (like on a grid) and there's guidelines for flanking etc. But it works Theater of the Mind as well.
* DwD Community is somewhat active on MeWe -- come say hi!
* The system is licensed creative commons non-commercial, but DwD has been cool about giving folks permission to publish 3rd Party.
* There is an "Art of Wuxia" d00Lite game late in development right now.
Myself, I'm back to work on "Sigil & Shadow" which is modern occult fantasy.
Hope this sheds some more light for any folks interested!
