Statistics Block Legality

[JimTS]

(I apologize if this is the wrong forum, it looked the closest to what I'm asking about.)

Is the monster statistics block from MMIV legal for d20 OGL games?

If its the same style as seen in DMG2, then not yet. There was a thread earlier here (can't find it now) that one of the other users went to Rich Redman. Rich said that the new statblock wasn't yet OGC, but would be included in the update to the RSRD.

And when would that update be?

Your guess is as good as mine. I've actually emailed Rich and Andy concerning an update and haven't gotten a response.

Actually, they got back in contact with him and said that yes, it was alright. I may need to go digging...

I received another email from Rich as a follow up. Rich asked that the contents not be posted to boards, though.

However, I can tell you that those who are interested in receiving a definitive answer to the question of the new statblock should just email Rich at rich.redman[at]wizards[dot]com and get a reply straight from the source.

The original thread was lost it appers, during the Great Crash of '06....

FYI, the stat block is used in Crisis in Freeport, so I'm guessing that means it's now officially open for use.

Just downloaded the Animal section of the SRD, the new monster format isn't included in the SRD yet.

whats the difference between the new and old?

I can understand the new monsters not being open but the way it looks?

can you copyright the way it looks?

if the information is allowable in the one format then surely the inforamtion is allowable in any format.

Not all OGL systems use the same format as shown in the SRD. Or do they?
