Thanks for the encouraging post :) I am determined get these designs to the RPG community as soon as possible even if its just a collection of systems and formulas in a small self produced pdf (acrobat pro u know ;) ) thats just shared by gamers who could reproduce and distribute it as they see...

You and other should ask more questions so I can explain it in a way you can understand

Your post was so easy for me to read its almost scary But I dont concider a claim that im wrong about somthing when the other person just didnt understand what I was capable of. ofcourse I always apreiciate the intrest if not the input :) I didnt mean to be rude

I doubt you could determine a game system from copyrightable material but I do know the differance Im sorry I cant pack all my understanding of Game Theory in one post to catch everyone up. I assure you my game systems would be impossible to make if I didnt know the differance. But people who...

I am currently looking for a good place on the net to talk about my ideas but first I want to find a place with people who would be knowledgable and interested in game design.

Im pretty sure if I dont copyright my material it does not qualify for the OGL so I dont see any problems with lawyers yet

Really no copyright required? Doesnt look that way to me. "(b)"Derivative Material" means copyrighted material" Qouted from the OGL "1. Definitions: (a)"Contributors" means the copyright and/or trademark owners who have contributed Open Game Content; (b)"Derivative Material" means copyrighted...

I agree with the thread split but my game designs are not up for disscusion except as examples systems not subject to copyrights. But I can understand that people are curious about them I thought my link to the US copyright website was a good bit of info supporting me :)

Im not agianst using the OGL but from what I read it seems to require an attempt at copyright to even use it. I am not trying to copyright my game.

Well maybe I should point out that maybe 20% of the whole game design would cover all D&D related mechanics (back to 1974). I have added and changed alot of things but I prefer to keep the mechanics as gereric as possible. This does take out all the flavor most expect in RPG's but I think...

I would like to point out agian this is an collection of systems which can not be subject to copyrights. You might not be very familar with game design but I dont have any problem determining systems and methods from names and text. I am also unsure if this infornation even qualifies for the...

The only thing needed to play is the book with my game systems. Does that qualify as stand alone RPG?

This thread is filled with people helping me alot and I really appreiceate it I hope others realize Im really trying to help the RPG community by crafting game mechanics and exploring these points about copyright and the OGL before releasing them.

Im guessing you didnt see this before you made your post "Most people on this thread seem to be confused about what is owned material and what is not (the OGL was created to clarify this to publishers). My ideas are not some kind of game supplement produced by an indie publisher they are...

If I tried to write my game mechanics into a copyrighted work of literature Im certain nobody would want to read it.

Most people on this thread seem to be confused about what is owned material and what is not (the OGL was created to clarify this to publishers). My ideas are not some kind of game supplement produced by an indie publisher they are basically just ideas and therefore cant be copyrigthted and for...

Actually this thread is accomplishing exactly what it was intended to do. I now have a much better understanding of what my game designs are and how they are effected by copyright law. I do think this thread is fragmenting and to cover all the smaller aspects which I would like to explore will...

Did you know there are these things called "questions" that people use to help them understand? Feel free to try these "questions" because your insults just make you seem ignorant

WD if you really understand my proposal how come your posts dont explain how its flawed? Instead your post is just pointless insults. Maybe you have a hard time understanding my posts because you dont try hard enough

I guess its a good thing I want to give it away for free :)
