    Answers on the GSL!

    No SRD as we know it I'm wondering why no one yet offered their thoughts on this particular answer. The new SRD seems to be some kind of glossary and template framework rather than the rules as we know them from the 3.5 SRD. Makes perfect sense from the point of view of WotC, however, for the...

    Important! Interview opportunity - what do you want to know about the GSL?

    We all know, that a thriving and vivid fanbase is a huge factor in deciding the success of a new product. How will he GSL affect the fans who like to create their own rules, classes, feats, spells and adventures? Will they be restricted or even prohibited from sharing their work freely by way of...

    New GSL Announcement

    If this whole "not on the fence" business is executed as it is discussed in here, then this will certainly restrict fanwork as well. At least in the way of not being able to produce material for both, 3E and 4E. I somehow doubt, that this restriction will only be there for commercial products...

    New GSL Announcement

    Well, my guess is, that there is still something explosive waiting. We are talking about 3PP here but what about fanwork? What about selfmade stuff offered for free on fansites? It wouldn't be out of their way to integrate some kind of hosting service into the DI and prohibit the people from...

    tattoos, spikes, punk, and goth in D&D images?

    Not a single picture can be refered to as crap, simply because every picture will find someone who likes it. The only thing one can argue about is the choices, that were made by WotC officials. I thinks it is inappropriate to bemoan the pictures themselves. Yeah I know, I'm nitpicking. I myself...

    Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules - Previews and Questions

    The Aspects of Nature sound very interesting so far. A few german people who have received their books today told me about. They are replacements for the druidic wildshape ability. Aspect of Plant, Aspect of Elemental Earth, Aspect of Elemental Fire, ... The abilities are combat related. On...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    About the licenses. I'm not talking about the OGL but about the D20. Look at this for example: SRD D20 Example This guy uses the D20 logo. Now, that shouldn't be a problem with the standart SRD but what if he adds to his SRD the way ability scores are generated? Then he would clearly be...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    I understand your point of view but most people want the official SRD 100% consistent. Moving around chapters and changing order is no problem but changing the text is something that shouldn't be done. If one does something like that, then I pray he'll point that out BIG TIME. I know the quirks...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    Reading it through? Come on, be serious. The contest was/is about layout and presentation. I surely don't want a SRD where the creator has edited and changed the content. Such a work would go instantly to my recycle bin. Reviewing one of the submission, if seriously done, takes about a half up...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    Using Mozilla Firebird 0.6 without any troubles. Well, this forum just doesn't work with it but the SRD you are writing about is fine.

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    I absolutly understand that. However, if someone knows, that his time is limited he surely shouldn't apply for being a judge anyway. I live from my own fridge since many years now but that's slightly beside the thread. :) I thought my bad grammar already gave away, that english is none of my...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    You are absolutly right. The only thing that matters about someone who posts on this board is the post count. The message by itself is meaningless. Because you have written much more postings, you clearly must be right. I'm sorry. Let me accumulate some more postings in the off topic forums...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    Now, I hate to say this, but this contest is awfully organized. One could think, that a contest with prizes and chosen judges shouldn't take two weeks. Well, to be honest it looks like the community will never see the results of this competition. At least it was a good idea. :(

    "Quality Standards" in the d20 System Guide

    I do have a question about this: Current, real-world religions and religious groups and/or practices will not be portrayed in any way that promotes disrespect for these religions or their participants. What about if I create a d20 setting, dealing with the real world and christianity. Doesn't...
