    What benefit is there for a smart/careful 3pp to use the GSL?

    Nah, the path to happiness is in the pleasure of creating a product that is the manifestation of a creative endeavor that began around 15yrs ago and having the opportuniy to present this product to the RPing community in a fashion that allows me, and me alone, final creative control of the...

    What benefit is there for a smart/careful 3pp to use the GSL?

    Unfortunately, not only can you use only either the OGL or the GSL at any given time for a product line, you can never go back to the OGL if for whatever reason you might have wanted to in the future. Poison pill thy name is GSL. Wyrmshadows

    What benefit is there for a smart/careful 3pp to use the GSL?

    Fair enough, but because my favorite rulesets are True20, Conan D20 and, what I have seen so far, Pathfinder. The very idea that I could never develop my IP for any of these concurrently (which I most certainly intend to do for True20 and Pathfinder) with 4e is something I cannot even begin to...

    What benefit is there for a smart/careful 3pp to use the GSL?

    Looking at what Kenzer is doing with their kalamar setting, I really can't see the downside, if one is careful, with skirting the GSL altogether. Using Kenzer as an example, 3pps could support 4e while at the same time keeping ultimate control of their IP if and when WoTC decides to change the...

    New Name: Morrus' D&D/D20 News and Reviews Site

    Why not call the site: Morrus' D&D/D20 News and Reviews Site I think that 3.5e/OGL fans, of which there are a large number would appreciate a non edition specific name for the site. Sure the site was the 3e site of note when it began, but 2e was far more a dead property at that time than...

    Great City Campaign Setting...not 4e...sucks

    I am definately buying this. I can use it for true20 or with the upcoming Pathfinder. I might not use it completely, but if I get inspiration from it I'll be pleased. Wyrmshadows

    Great City Campaign Setting...not 4e...sucks

    That's funny. :lol: The only thing that will still be around...well the only thing related to the D&D that exists for the last 8yrs....the only thing that is perpetually and permanantly in the hands of the fans... is the OGL/3.5/and its derivatives. So, in 6-8yrs when 5e comes out and there is...

    Forked Thread: Three more days

    This. Edition wars are better than... A.) The passive agressive sniping that is going on now...because people can't actually speak their minds. B.) Warn/Ban truly offensive individuals but the slamming closed of threads and handholding is rubbing me a bit raw. Offensive individuals are...

    Kalamar - first published 4e setting?!?

    Kalamar is certainly one of the most well realized fantasy RPing settings I have ever encountered. A bit dry, perhaps do to the writing style used ( a bit textbook like to me), but nothing that a decent DM couldn't add some pizzaz to. You can't go wrong with Kalamar as a traditional D&D setting...

    Coup de Grace vs. Players -- Mean DM or Fair Play?

    The social contract I have with my players is that we all understand that we are running a heroic fantasy RPing game and one of the risks heroes face is the risk of death. I've (on a rare few occasions in 23yrs) attemted to pull puches on players when logic dictated they should die and my...

    Underused Monsters

    Giant Space Hamsters Everything is better with Giant Space Hamsters. :D Wyrmshadows PS. I would never use such atrocity in my game, but I thought that this was as rare a critter as exists in the game.

    BBEG design tips

    This one is very good if used sparingly...such as once per entire set of given PCs or once per entire campaign if the damage that occurs is truly terrible. However, having said that, as much as I believe that heroes can make meaningful choices, there are forces and greater realities (gods...

    I'm a huge fan of immersive RPing. How about you?

    Personally, as a DM/GM I am a great fan of immersive RPing experience for my players. I really enjoy it when they get into character and interact with one another or NPCs in my campaign and both act and react in character as if the events of the story are real. I enjoy it when I try to...

    Racially diverse artwork in D&D...does it influence you?

    I thought about that, but considering the fact that mixed race individuals would be exceedingly rare at the time and that medieval/dark age people were rather credulous and superstitious...I went with the option I did. Wyrmshadows

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    I agree. I would be far, far more ok with the appearance of dragonborn if I, even once, saw a nice set of breasts on a dragon in any piece of art anywhere. I'm having the shivers thinking of the furry (scaley) fantasies dragonboobs free of their obligatory dragonbras would...

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    Honestly, the whole dragonboob thing...whether or not dragonborn are monotremes and all that nonsense, that dragons aren't actually reptilian, "don't think too hard about fantasy, "blah, blah, blah, are nothing more than folks attemtping to come up with reasons for something that would not have...
