The *actual* old school revival we need in RPGs is that glorious post Vampire pre D20/Magic period when everyone was putting out stuff like In Nomine, Unknown Armies and Underground.

Still looking for beta testers for my table top scale windows made from balsa wood.

DM me or reply here

Free product in exchange for an opinion
Do I have any tabletop crafting mutuals (or trusted friends of friends), who would be willing to review a product for me?

I'm not asking for filmed reviews, just honest feedback. Beta testing I guess (though I think they are ready to go)

I can offer free product and thanks

Some great specific answers here from Shannon.

In some cases I think it's hard to know if the real damage was caused by converting games to/adding d20 lines vs the overall state of the industry.

Obviously it was probably "some of each" in every case.
The question is: have d20 conversions done harm to a game line or publisher. (Thanks @chrishanrahan.bsky.social for the pointer.)

Yeah, I think so. I think they've done damage to the original lines, which wasn't repairable when d20 died out. And I think they've done brand damage.
A serious question: In the ~25 years that people/publishers have been converting their RPGs to be d20 system/5e-based, what examples are there of the conversion doing serious harm to the game line/publisher as a whole?

Somebody told me their recipe they use for their stuffing on Thanksgiving. It includes pecans. I was immediately "no thank you". Does anybody else put pecans (or any kind of nuts) in theirs? We put a little chopped up bacon in ours.
