Another big TTRPG publisher has announced plans to create a new game system as Dungeons & Dragons drama continues:

MCDM Productions, the popular design studio headed by game designer and YouTube personality Matt Colville, has announced plans to develop a new tabletop RPG system.

Although Colville noted that the unnamed RPG had been planned for development this year for quite some time, his announcement comes amid the backdrop of major upheaval in the tabletop RPG industry. Last week, io9 published excerpts of a new Open Gaming License set to be released by Wizards of the Coast, the publishers of Dungeons & Dragons.

MCDM Productions is one of several publishers who would be impacted by the new OGL's royalty structure. For instance, had the company's upcoming Flee, Mortals! rulebook been subject to the new OGL, MCDM would have had to pay Wizards a $266,823 royalty fee based on revenue from the Kickstarter alone. MCDM also publishes a monthly magazine called Arcadia that is filled with D&D 5E-compatible content.

0commentsCoincidentally, MCDM Productions is the second publisher to announce plans for a new game system today. Kobold Press announced it was also starting work on its own bespoke Core Fantasy system.
