@zombiegenesis said in Open Legend RPG:
We didn't really notice an issue with the exploding dice. It led to some interesting situations. In the end, however, we just felt the game didn't bring anything new to the table and there were other games that did the same or similar things and maybe did them a bit better(Savage Worlds, FATE, Gurps, Hero, etc).
There are definitely more mature frameworks but most of the value-add of these Open ___ rulebooks is the ability to create derivative commercial works without having to license anything.
Fallout had a lot of drama with licensing GURPS back in the 90s, to the ends that they dropped it and rolled their own anyway 🙂
