GSL or not GSL

CapnZapp · 15th July 2008, 12:26 PM

Let's keep track of which companies are hopping on the GSL bandwagon, and which aren't!

GSL
Kenzer

No GSL (or very little)
Green Ronin

Wicht · 15th July 2008, 01:45 PM

Kenzer is most certainly not going with the GSL.

Correct. Kenzer is using copyright law, not the GSL.

CapnZapp · 15th July 2008, 02:48 PM

Alright, so what would be a better way to divide the starting field? How about:

In WotC's camp
Kenzer
...

Out of WotC's camp
Green Ronin
...

My intention isn't merely technical (who's signed the GSL) - I wanted to start a thread where we could see who was going to support Wizards and 4E, and who is choosing not to.

Actually, Green Ronin's updating their character folio to 4E, too (per the latest news on their website). So this thread's back to square one, I'm afraid.

No, Green Ronin's message was that they would not sign the GSL, and that this insignificant product would be their only 4E product at this time.

But never mind.

I don't think Necro has actually opted into the GSL yet either.

From necromancergames.com:

With the new announcement by Wizards of the Coast that publishers like Necromancer Games will be able to support the new Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition rules, Necro is going 4E! That's right, "Fourth Edition Rules, First Edition Feel"

Gilwen · 16th July 2008, 05:45 AM

That has been on necromancers page since before the license was revealed. I don't think I ahve seen anything from Clark that indicates what they are going to do in way of support or if the terms are agreeable to Necro.

The question is, How is necromancer games able change the feel of the game without redefining anything.

OK, everyone settle down.

There seems to be a lot of speculation that I am "shaken" by the GSL and that maybe Necro will be going Pathfinder.

I am not shaken by the GSL. It is pretty much what I expected.

Though we are not one of the big fish, Alea Publishing Group is supporting the GSL.

This will include the Feudal Lords Campaign Setting and possibly the Poor Gamer's Almanac.

We still have the Any Edition line of products, which we will expand upon late or early next year.

I was under the impression that goodman games where planning on signing the OGL... where have they stated otherwise? (just wondering

Did you mean GSL and not OGL? Goodman is going to use the OGL for everything they release prior to October. At which time, they will sign on to the GSL (see the Ogrecave podcast for info straight from the horses mouth). this could make things interesting. Will WotC allow Goodman Games to use the GSL after flouting it in order to release material in time for GenCon? If WotC doesn't make a fuss, will it hurt them if they decide to go after any other company not using the GSL? Personally, I think this signals WotC as being more lenient. They are going to ignore those not using the GSL while being very complementary to those using the GSL. Providing that there is no mass exodus from the GSL or ignoring the GSL, this strategy is a win win scenario for WotC.

Expeditious Retreat Press will have a GSL line called Lands of Darkness.

Will XRP be doing anything more in support of 3.5?

We are currently doing our 1e Advanced Adventures line, working on a new gaming system called Sorcery & Super Science, and the 4e Lands of Darkness.

We're debating on continuing the 1 on 1 Adventures line for 3.5 as well as writing A Magical Medieval Guide to Castles for 3.5, but those are only in the consideration phase.

And when Pathfinder arrives, we'll seriously consider support of that system as well.
