It's entirely possible Gallant Knight penned their licensing agreement prior to Stewart's death. But if Steve is actively running the business, I think that's a good thing.
I think that's likely. Whether they've said as much, I don't know. To be honest, I never thought the adjustments made in Carbon Grey were extensive enough to qualify as a "variant" of the game. But now that they've got something they think of as "their" variant, it'd make sense if they kept using it.
There's nothing stopping someone from creating their own new edition of OpenD6. It may even be better than D6 2E. Who knows?
Right, nor do Carbon Grey or the upcoming PotA game so to some degree we are talking apples and oranges. I probably should reread the OGL for the old Open d6 but why pay as opposed to just modifying the free Open d6 rules?
...seriously, guys? After the OGL debacle, and WotC going back, you still believe that the OGL can simply be taken down
?
?I'm not having inside info either, but I'd also expect it to be due to the WEG name, FWIW.

I suppose I could upload an Open d6 OGL compliant game to drivethru and see what happens…...seriously, guys? After the OGL debacle, and WotC going back, you still believe that the OGL can simply be taken down
I mean, who exactly would start a court case against an RPG company that's reposing on "the OGL is no longer valid" preposition

Until we have other info, of course. Hey, someone from one of the relevant publishing houses might just log to inform us, who knows

I mean you have two different companies licensing it, there has to be some reason
True. Rewrite it from scratch, use different terminology, and voila. The problem is that I'm not a big enough fan of the system to do that. I couldn't get into it since the WEG Star Wars RPG.
Yes, this is really what it comes down to. If the Zorro RPG is the actual 2nd edition of the game, it’s not going to move the needle.
Oh I have. There are third party bolt-on d6 magic systems (Magic & Miracles, etc.) that are workable, but I'd like to see D6 get the deluxe treatment.
It's also one of the best magic systems for S&S among those that I've seen...
Eh. I still prefer the one from Jaws of the Six Serpents as my S&S favorite. Though I eventually warmed up to it, I was initially underwhelmed by BoL's system. I do think of the two BoL's would be marginally easier to port into a D6 game, however**It's also one of the best magic systems for S&S among those that I've seen...
