[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 8894789, member: 78752"] Can you cite your source on this? Setting material being open game content would be a complete departure from the terms of the OGL 1.0a, and I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the summaries of the OGL 1.1. For clarity: anyone can publish Forgotten Realms adventures through the DMs Guild, but that is a different, far less open license. They are different, at least for now. The WotC OGL 1.1 would allow immediate access to the D&D3.5 and D&D5 system reference documents, perhaps along with a few other licensed SRDs from 3PPs who have signed on. Right now, the ORC has no licensed SRDs, although it is virtually guaranteed that the Pathfinder2 and Starfinder SRDs will be relicensed under it, and perhaps also the Chaosium BRP SRD. Anyone who adopts either license in the future will be able to release a licensed SRD that other adopters of that specific license can use as open game content. But it would surprise me if either license permitted the use of setting material, hence my initial question. One of the key elements of the OGL 1.0a is that it permits differentiating between open game content and closed game content in the same document. Most open licenses do not do this, which makes it difficult for game publishers to open a system (or use an open system) but keep their settings proprietary. [/QUOTE]
