The OGL License happened after Larian teamed up with Hasbro to make Baldur's Gate 3. Thankfully Larian is still independent so it can continue on to make better RPGs without Hasbro.

Was getting worried there and about to Google more on the subject. Happy to hear that.

If you haven't played it, Divinity Original Sin 2 is a fantastic Larian-made RPG that uses a non-D&D system.

I have played it and really enjoyed it.

I wouldn't have been so excited about bg3 otherwise.
