I was so bummed to hear about Linae. I have to say that, other than perhaps only Sue Cook, I cant think of a person who is more universally liked, respected and considered honest and friendly as Linae. She really is great. She and Scott have been so amazing in keeping up the fight for third...

Thanks for covering for me, Scott. [nudge, nudge, wink, wink; you're still sending that check, right? Right?]

That explains why I am such a big Wizards supporter! (though not a paid shill as you now know) -- I had my gall bladder out some years back. It all makes sense ... :) (Just teasing DD, that was funny, the gall bladder of evil)

GVD- Man, you are so negative. :) This is not a "backtracking" or a "leverage" situation. How about--some good people (Scott and Linae) finally got listened to when it became apparent that the GSL was not doing what it was supposed to be doing. I guess you are entitled to your own opinion...

I agree. I think it is clear to anyone that, intentions aside, the GSL as it is now has completely failed to achieve its goals. People dont like failure. So we have revision. I'm glad to see that my hope looks like it is coming true--I said some time ago that wouldnt it be great if the first...

I am voting for D. :) I'm with you in my public support for the fight Scott and Linae have been fighting to make things happen. I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, so to speak, but I remain optimistic as I have been that the needed changes and clarifications will happen. Which, of...

Jack, thanks for the encouragement. :) I have the luxury of being a fan of D&D first and a game company owner second. Its a nice position to be in. I firmly believe 3P support is crucial to the long term success of D&D as a game. I will continue to work with Wizards. I am optimistic. I have had...

Jeez, thanks LMD! That's nice of you too say. Listen, I have come out strongly and said I wouldnt adopt the GSL as is. BUT that doesnt mean I wouldnt adopt it with some changes or clarifications. And I remain convinced that Wizards will listen, that they want the GSL to succeed and that they...

I often get blasted for being too much of an optimist. But I firmly believe that the license will be changed and that Wizards wants to see the GSL be a success. Clark

Dont forget to charge interest when you file your small claims action. :) Clark

I wonder if this is really happening. I'd like a couple more days to see the dust settle. I'd like to hear from the guys involved. But I sent an email to Wizards some months ago reminding them that as they were doing the GSL to remember the benefits of the safe harbor and that if too...

I cant seem to figure out what is going on with this. I know Joe gave away a free gazetteer at FreeRPG day for 4E. I also see that his 3 new DCCs are listed as being for 4E. And, per his post on his boards, he seems to confirm those products will be released in August. I want to see what the...

That's good, because "owlbears" are not in the SRD, meaning your whole company could be in violation of the SRD :) Hey, wait, neither is Orcus...

I dont see a way for it to "get locked up forever". That is just hyperbole. It would just mean that if I did a 4E Tegel I couldnt go back and do a 3E Tegel. It wouldnt tie up JG or the content at all since JG likely wont be adopting the GSL. The only one who could have a problem is me. My...

How did you feel about the d20 STL, which was changable at will, required pulping and limited use?

Tree, would you quite it please. OSRIC is, in my view, 100% illegal and infringing. I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole. And doing what you call for is, in my view, similarly illegal. Please quite holding up the fact that Wizards find OSRIC too irrelevant to take action against as some...

I dont agree with a few of the presumptions here. First, if YOU or EB never update VOM to 4E under the GSL then you can sell the VOM all day long. NOTHING in the GSL requires you to stop selling OGL products that you dont convert to 4E. So if you dont convert VOM, then Company B doing something...

This is an interesting one. Let me clarify a few facts in your hypo, then I’ll take a stab at this: FACTS: 1. You ("You") own Evoker Games (EG or "Company A"). 2. EG previously published an OGL product called Volume of Monsters (VOM) which contains Open Game Content (OGC). 3. EG...

I agree with the first part of your thread in general, since at that time were were going from nothing to the whole thing. I'm not sure I would be cheering not being able to use my namesake demon at any point in time :) But I do agree, that the GSL seems more restrictive than it is because the...

The word was NOTHING before Oct 1. But the license does say on sale date. And it does provide that you can do free stuff before Oct 1. So we will see.... We've been in holding pattern for so long I dont know when it can reasonably be completed and professionally presented to be available for...
