This kind of made me laugh. Someone posted this meme in a discussion. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't mind fake D&Ds. If I were to play "B/X" I'd probably actually want to play Labyrinth Lord or Basic Fantasy. If I wanted an OSR experience, I'd probably actually look at ShadowDark, and I'm more excited about Deathbringer coming this year than any other rules systems. Pathfinder 1e carried the D&D torch for many years after WotC created 4e. But, sometimes, when you want a Dr. Pepper, you don't want to be asked if Mr. Pibb is OK.
These are not Dr. Pepper. And Tales of the Valient or OSE is not D&D. That doesn't mean that they're bad. As a Dr. Pepper fan, I'm the first to admit that I drink fake Dr. Pepper all the time, because I can buy a freakin' 2-liter for $1. But sometimes, you just want Dr. Pepper.
