I was mere hours from releasing this Lorefolke preview of the Ember, one of the 6 playable races in the fantasy TTRPG I've been developing, when the OGL issue arose. This was back in January. Up to that point, LoreFolke was going to a 5e-compatible game, but in the weeks between the announcement that the OGL would be revoked and the unexpected reversal of that decision, I had made a lot of headway on - and quite enjoyed - designing my own system for my game instead.
As such, I've decided to continue with my own system for LoreFolke, and hope to be putting it out there in the next 24 months.
Still, I was quite happy with the 5e-compatible preview I'd put together, and so even though most of the conventions in this preview will be changed to use my system, I've decided to release it anyway as a sort of preview of the look and feel and narrative tone of the finished game.
