Redesigning the Wheel

Hint: you will be able to play one of these
for our new project for 5e.

So we are working on a 5th edition product for DMsguild and hope to finish it soon.  It's been a fun project with an interesting upgraded system and really quite proud of its quality and time frame we completed in..

We had played with the idea of 5e for DRev (which I for some reason I put HERE instead on Wrestling...why did I do that?).  After much musing we have decided other than maybe a hack conversion, the 5e SRD is extensive, but does not cover what we want or need for DRev.   There's lots hidden behind the "wall" of the license unless you are writing for the DMsguild..which the Hodgepocylpse most definitely does not qualify for.

So now we have some choices again for the future of DRev...I don't think I have really addressed this before

          Option  //  Pros  //   Cons    

• Stay with DRev as is (3.5 hack)   //  No work, Hurrah!  // Lack of new players and readers, 3.5 hate and a system mainly played by those playing fantasy tropes.  
•  Hack current DRev with certain part of 5e we can use //  Introduction of proficiency system, realignment of the saving throws and skill system //  another hack folks may not play or enjoy,  possible rules distortion that will destroy our brains as creators
• Use another open source system.  //  exploring a new rules system to see if works with DRev, which I really do like doing.  Catching fans of an established product.  //  Trying to resist rebuilding another system, trying to catch a wave and misinterpreting its fan base.
• Design a new system based on the core Montage idea of DRev we like //  possibly coming up with something intriguing and interesting that fits our new growing vision.  //  Lots of rewriting and testing, marketing it into the ether of the internet filled with hundreds or thousands of systems

Hmmmmmmmmm
