Since this topic is 16 pages long, I wanted to see if I missed any points. There are two basic opinions. 1.) Publishers using the OGL must abide by any and all consequences of using said license. If they don't want to have those types of problems, don't use the license. 2.) Publishers...

I think you've drastically misunderstood the license here. This means that there are two types of OGC. The types that the publisher says are OGC, and things that modify existing OGC. Once it becomes OGC, such as the declaration at the start of the book, nothing will make it become no longer...

It turns out that the magistrate accidently unleashed a horrible curse one hundred years ago. He barginned with the witch for a long life and a prosperous town. In turn, she slew him and made him undead, while for the town, she made it so every person in it would alway bear twins. The magistrate...

I can't say the superheroes interest me at all, but in terms of the other types of counters, how many pages are devoted to each? The creatures are the most useful to me, especially in modern clothes. I might get over the cheapness, but free is so much more affordable. ;)

Does anyone know any sites with free counters to use with D20 modern? So far I've found: 1.) http://userweb.suscom.net/~johna/ which has counters under DM stuff 2.) http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/cateran which has an assortment, though mainly of vehicles. I know Fiery Dragon Productions produced...

Gee, I'm not sure how good a contest this is for the guys running if everyone submits as many names as they can. It's not like the couldn't come up with names, it's just they wanted to do a contest. But now this is becoming more work than just making them for themselves.

Because many D20 based OGL products sell better than for systems that have a smaller user base. That being said, most publishers go well beyond the minimum requirements of OGC, because of they not to cripple their products, and usually by their own statement, it's because they want to allow...

This type of project is far more interesting. It adds value to the content and isn't just republishing it. Doing tainted monsters sound really quite cool. OGC is great in that it allows for these types of projects. This is the thing though, where I see the use of OCG, is projects that encourage...

Right, meant GNU. And I won't attack your analogue too much because you do admit it's flawed, but keep in mind the majority of Red Hat's money doesn't come from casual users, it comes from business users. It's primarily an enterprise platform. Compare that to Mandrake which targeted casual users...

I think most publishers would love fans using the OGC to create new material. Most of them see that's what it's for (beyond the few publishers who try to render an abstruse as possible license.) There's a big difference between that and putting the whole thing stripped of PI on the web...

There is a key distinction between OGC and OGL that isn't addressed. Software under the OGL isn't sold. The OGC in published books is. OGC has as its main use, the ability to reuse materials from other publishers in your own works and this is what we currently see it used for. Unlike OGL...

Andy isn't saying don't use the OGC, nor is he saying using OGC is bad. He's saying don't take the WHOLE book, which is the hard work of many authors, and potential profit for WotC and post it on the web. Plus he's right...people are treating this book differently because it's Wizards of the...

So will we be able to play Animal robots ala Beast Wars too?

1. Do you spend more time making characters than playing them? Yes, including for D20 rpgs I never intend on playing (like BESM, Silver Age Sentinels, Dark Sun, etc.) 2. Do you spend more time on internet discussion groups than actually playing RPGs? Yup, I only play once every two weeks or...

For the cell phone: Ringback For the scout: Groundbreaker For the guardian: Rotoblitz

Plus you tend to need the full books. With Unearthed Arcana, you could easily grab whichever variant rules you needed without getting the whole book. Either way, Andy is right. Just because it OGL and it's WotC, doesn't mean the whole book should be posted on the web.

I'd actually disagree here. DMs learn to do that on their own, and taking away all their creativity is not much fun. Hardly any published adventures end up running exactly the way they're written, and trying to force the players along the path just hurts things.

We've been playing with a ninja for a few games now. Fun class and it keeps screwing up the DM. Quick query though, what's the starting gold supposed to be?

If t hasn't been done by May, I'll give it a go. Just have exams first.

I tried it with pretty much every WotC book I could choose and a few Green Ronin and Malhavoc Press, so I doubt there are many others, if any.
