Nor that I know of, but IIRC they DID publish a revised edition of the "Kreaturen Kompendium" (but I don't have that) But their webpage NEVER contained any "support" pages for their d20 products and even though F&S now has got the D&D licence since July their webpage got NO category for it...

Actually you could interpret the Open Game Content at the title to fill in Section 15 (or does it say anywhere in the license that the whole license has to be in one place?) But if an incomplete OGL makes things "closed" then most of the early d20 products (and almost anything by AEG and some...

I only have the Creature Collction and there it's yes and no. The OGL is in there but is missing the content of Section 15 (the copyright note) BUT I noticed something nice... The whole stats (except the monster names) are declared as being Open Game Content... So, you CAN use the...

These were translated by Truant (who also translated Ars Magica, the Cheapass games and Torches&Pitchforks) I forgot that the Creature Collection and the Scarred Land Gazeteer were also out (these were translated by F&S but are, like the rest of the d20 stuff "discontinued")

d20 in German NEVER "lived"... The only d20 products in German were translations of "Quintessential Fighter", "Q. Rogue". 3 Freeport adventures, 3 Penumbra adventures, Greenland Saga. (And ONE d20 solo adventure, the ONLY "new" product I know of that was published by a normal publisher... NO...

But that's apparently the problem with the German copyright laws (as I am understanding it) Once someone translates something (like the SRD) the TRANSLATION becomes his "intellectual property". That's why F&S seems not to be able to provide a translated SRD... (It's not as if most of the...

You CAN use it here in Germany, too... Just not in a translation. So why not do what the rest of the German d20 community is doing? Using only the original and behaving like the translation never existed or will exist to be usable - just ike the translators are ignoring German D&D with regard...

The problem with german copyright law apparently lies in the fact that a translator has got the rights to his translation. And if too many terms would be too similar (or even identical) the new translator MIGHT be sued for "copying" the "official" translations. The only way he could claim NOT...

What would a "new" translation acchieve? You can't use the "official" translations for ANY of the terms as these are (c) Feder&Schwert/Amigo, so some strange and unusual terms will need to be found. And people who know the official translation would nor be able to recognise ANY of the terms, so...

Apparently cou can contact them on info about the translations of terms for translated d20 product (as there were a few books translated for d20 when D&D3(.0) was released) but without any action from the the owner of the rights to the "official" translations of the terms (i.e. F&S now) you...

Formerly it was Amigo, now it's Feder&Schwert (the same company that also translates White Wolf's World of Darkness and Green Ronin's Warhammer) Yes, they are busy... apparently too busy to get the "problem" with the possibility of a German SRD cleared :( Any guesses why the d20 community in...

Welcome to the German Copyright laws. It's not as if laws (especially if laws of different countries are involved) always have to make sense :D

Nothing that's contained in the current SRD is "reserved" by WotC. Those spells which contain PI names (like "Otto's Irresistible Dance") are just renamed (in the example "Irresistible Dance"). So the current SRD CAN be published in full (like some people already did) this wasn't true for the...

Apparently he didn't know that WotC planned to (re)release UA but rather the title was an homage to the AD&D1 supplement Unearthed Arcana which introduced lots of new rules (like cantrips, lots of polearms, ...) I don't know if he would still have used this title if he knew that they intended...

My thoughts exactly... It probably boils down to this: Who wants IL NOW (i.e. August 2005) will buy it now (or maybe just get the PDFs if you want the info but probably won't run it now) and get the supplements separately. And when the "Director's Cut" is published everybody will get the book...

My guess? It won't be different IF: - IL sells well - The print version of IL is sold out some time from now and prolonged "field testing" showed that you could/should add some things to the "basic rules" - it is probable that people buying the main book also buy the other 2 books But from...

Nice plug for the new Series of Dr. Who (starting 26th on BBC)

Unfortunately the system can turn deadly quite easily... And unless you got backup clones (like in Paranoia) if half of the party dies it will put quite a damper on the mood. Nice idea, but after the party gotten almost killed once and completely killed after that in one adventure (by actions...

As far as I've seen the PDF is an exact copy of the paper version. The same layout, colors, ...

This should be a Battle Box explictly for AE. Since the "normal" Battle Box also includes cards for combat maneuvers these might be a bit different (or there may be additional ones, didn't compare the maneuvers yet) in AE. Also a larger map of the land was promised. Anything else you can tell...
