    Necromancer Games Goes 4th Edition! Planned Product Updates!

    Yes, but not until we see the actual GSL and know for a fact that those planned products can in fact be created under the GSL. I dont want to take money for a product before we know we can make it :) (maybe that makes me a bad business man, but so be it).

    If you want to see what Necro is up to, here is a link to our announcement. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=4170348#post4170348 Scott, nice work. You know how I feel about all of this. I am so glad you guys were able to bring this home. I know how hard it was and you and Linae and...

    Who has paid the $5000 (what companies)?

    I dont have it. My silence has nothing to do with me having it or not having it. I think this has been bungled beyond belief, but I am also very supportive of the people (Linae, Scott, etc) who are working on it and I think in the end it will happen and that there will be a GSL. Clark

    I agree with Lizard and OldTimer. :)

    Pramas on the OGL

    GMS is right. Announcing and seeing the GSL are two different things.

    A question of ignorance

    Ack! This is the worst advice I have ever heard. (OK, that is perhaps exaggerating a bit :) Its not the worst advice I have ever heard, but its not good advice. How about that.) 1. Making money or not is not relevant to copyright violations. 2. Slapping an OGL on it wont fix anything if you...

    A question of ignorance

    I have no idea what this means, what you are asking, or what you want to do. Not trying to be dense :) Explain and we'll be happy to discuss.

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    I'm happy to correct you. :) Judges Guild had an official license for D&D. Their products said "For use with Dungeons and Dragons" and later "for use with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons." Heck, the first "module" ever available was by a company called Wee Warriors, and it was called the Palace...

    GSL questions for Scott Rouse and Mike Lescault

    Ack! No thanks. :) Just busy. I posted in another thread. I'll copy paste here. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=222814&page=7&pp=30 I say hang tight. Clark

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    I agree with you, to some degree. I, obviously in my playing for 30 years, played D&D most of the time while it was closed. But unlike you who remembers only a situation where it goes "closed to now open" I remember the GOLDEN AGE of D&D when it was open (or at least licensed) back in the...

    Your Bet on Licensing

    I basically agree. I dont think anyone could call this mess the result of an intentional plan or purposeful engineering. And while it is less than ideal--heck in part they created a competitor in Paizo that they didnt need to--I still think the voices of openness and support for third party...

    4E OGL Material?

    As a lawyer, let me say that if you are considering this go get yourself some serious legitimate legal advice. DO NOT rely on lay internet interpretations. Dont even rely on what I say. Go hire a lawyer.

    Conversion: Keep on the Borderlands

    Wow. I never knew that, and I have been playing D&D for 30 years. I have done 2 squares per 10 foot corridor since time immemorial. I've been doing it wrong all these years... Strange I would find that in this thread, since I am converting KotB to 4E for use as a playtest for my group soon. And...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    Call me foolish, but I still hold out hope for Wizards just using the OGL. I know, I have said I think it is more likely that they use a GSL or STL-style license with restrictions. But I dont want to say the OGL approach for 4E is dead. I'm still holding out hope. So I guess I would change your...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    I just dont see how you can say that. Here are the first two positions: I would only purchase 4E if it were fully open (for example, like the 3.5E OGL) I would only purchase 4E if it were at least partially open (say, like the d20 license) That means you combine those two groups...

    Your Bet on Licensing

    Woah!!!!! Hold up, cowpoke! If 4E isnt OGL we are definately not closing our doors. Necro will carry on. And even if it isnt open, I have some confidence that I might be able to work out some other licensing arragnement. We have certainly not "said in clear terms that [we] are closing [our]...

    So i just finished reading phb lite and pregen characters

    I agree with all of you. I am running a 4E "test drive" myself with the same materials. I am absolutely LOVING what 4E has done. To me, 4E plays more like 1E than 3E did. Yes, it is a bit more in the amped up power department, but that is fun and good in my view. YMMV. I'm not trying to...
