Unless of course an anonymous insider with access to such information were to surreptiously violate his/her NDA and provide us with such a wonderful scoop/ firebomb.

Axiomatic is right content has to be released as OGC to be fully utilized under the OGL. At the current time that is about 12 modules give or take of the total SRD. Until they are official released as such they are convered by a gentleman's agreement of sorts. However copyright law does not...

I emailed Bobo last night and he sent me this reply. "Vuron, tahnks for sendign me that emale last nihgt it was very good to here from yuo. As too your guestions I am still operating as teh cheif proofreader for wizard of the coasts. We in the editing department are paned at the losing of good...

Remember though that only a certain percentage of the SRD is classified as OGC at the current time and there seems to be no guarantee that the rest of the SRD will actually become OGC.

Greenwood has be a freelancer for years now and IIRC Bruce parted ways with WotC roughly the same time as Monte. I am curious to see which of the R&D/Editing team were getting cut because I was thinking along the lines that if they started axing designers they would cut people closest to...

Interesting some of the Nutkinland Intelligensia and I were discussing WotC's condition last night and there seems to definitely be a major cutback in R&D coming tomorrow. I have a definite feeling that SWRPG is going to be cut to the bone and that there might be substantial changes to the Core...

Interesting I had expected to see some of the core development team laid off and I wondered if we were going to see alot of recognizable names in the most recent batch. The fact that the cuts include the core FR team does concern me, not so much from the perspective of FR surviving or dying but...

Eyes bleeding must stop reading munchiness of DM and company!

Well to be honest the previous policy was more of a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" type of situation that some employees encouraged without fully consulting the legal types. WotC no doubt views current conversions as having a negative effect on it's bottom line. Now they are changing the rules to a...

I think that the rules for ESDs clearly indicate that hardcopy rules bought back in the day are subject to the same restrictions for use, ie once a product is ESDed it is henceforth covered by the ESD agreement regardless of original format. Any materials not yet ESDed are still restricted as...

I think Ryan's statements and clarifications indicate that ESD materials (including all 1e and 2e products) are subject to this conversion policy and that for all intents and purposes WotC intends to maintain it's IP concerning them. Furthermore conversions of any sort have always been...

Lowtax definitely has Epic jester abilities ;)

Several of the new feats and skill uses seem quite powerful even if the DC for some skill uses seems a bit astronomical.

Actually a further clarification might be in order, AFAIK at the current time you cannot even reference a non SRD term, monster, feat, etc in a 3rd party book. I think this issue came up concerning content from the new asgard. I think the safest policy from a legal standpoint is to make new...

I'm going to post my comments made on Nutkinland for those here especially those involved in the creature conversions. "Well to be perfectly honest I believe that 90% of the reason for clamping down on the conversions is that WotC has 2 big ticket books coming (MM2 and FF) that they feel that...

Hehe Pkitty's advice is ignored once more ;)

I'm beginning to suspect that DDG and ELH have less and less rules in common. The limited rumors I have heard make me think that DDG aren't neccesarily built with a subset of ELH.

I guess I'm somewhat confused is WotC a division of Hasbro or a solely owned subsidiary? There are important differences in how each status would effect the company. If WotC is a subsidiary I believe that it's debtload pre purchase remains on its books which if they were hemorhaging cash as...

Haha pkitty remarks about keeping it somewhat on topic and people continue to snipe <shake head> Anyway the fact remains x number of people have/will be laid off. Do we know who and in what groups? I imagine the card game group might be suffering more than the rpg group but it might be a case...

Hehe I wonder who's been breaking thier NDA :p I expect some of the epic magic, artifacts, and monsters to be pretty damn tough. Using the High Level book from the 2e Options series the Scions and Paragons are liable to be buttkickers.
