I was curious whether there is a guideline for when a system moves from needing to use the ‘Original System’ option in the game system to having its own option?
I am a long way from it, but I know I plan on releasing multiple adventure modules for my NovArchaic system, and when I do that, it would be nice to have that as an option; but in terms of not 'opening the floodgates of too many options, ’ I wanted to have a general idea of what you were wanting for benchmarks for a system’s popularity to be it’s own system in the list.
The basic criteria for a new game system to be added is that it is a real game or system, and at least some modules or games exist that use it or are based on it. We don’t have any strict requirements beyond that.
In your case, if your system has some modules that are available as separate products, then we’re happy to include your system in the taxonomy. In fact, we’ve just added ‘NovArchaic’ to the Game system list.
