    What should have been included in 1E's UA that wasn't in there?

    This thread is about the first edition AD&D Unearthed Arcana, so the anti-paladins to which I was referring are 1e anti-paladins (described in Dragon magazine). They are chaotic evil and are totally unplayable. Under the 1e rules, paladins who "fall" simply become fighters.

    Why, yes. You should ask for a waitron or a waitperson. :lol:

    What should have been included in 1E's UA that wasn't in there?

    I'm so pleased with Unearthed Arcana overall that I would be hard-pressed to name anything else that I think should be in it. Anti-paladins are useless as player characters. The Hunter (not the Forester) class to which you're referring is kind of interesting, though.

    Look under "Publisher" on the Amazon.com product page.

    Why, a scullery maid of course!! Also, the kind that washes the flagstones all day long. My tongue was actually at least partly in cheek, but anyway -- since the D&D classes would be historically male "professions," the language probably hasn't had time to come up with unique terms for women...

    I think WG5 also falls into that category.

    Well, in all honesty I don't care whether women play D&D or RPGs in general, anyway. And I'm not sure why one would care (I know why WOTC might care; I suppose they view women as a huge, untapped, and potentially profitable market). D&D is a game; it's not like the women (and men, for that...

    You can find a discussion at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they I don't know what the academic world is like now, but when I was in high school and college using "they" as a third person singular was definitely not permitted. As a sop to "gender equality," however, some...

    Actually, "they" was used in the past. It's incorrect now. And you might be forced to change the structure of the sentence to avoid references to "themself."

    You might want to consider putting a content management system (like CMS Made Simple, which is free) into place. That would give you WYSIWYG editing.

    404 error. Perhaps it should be ".html" and not ".htm"?

    OGL and copyright

    Look at any OGL supplement or module and you will see. The OGL, designation of product identity, etc., are generally printed on the last page, with a font small enough to allow it to fit. (I have one module in which the OGL is printed on half a page, but it's barely legible.) One way to separate...

    OGL and copyright

    Right, nor any other trademark. For example, you could not indicate compatibility with Microsoft Office. Interestingly enough you generally can use trademarks to indicate compatibility. But because you use the OGL, you can't. You can say "d20" as long as you abide by the terms of the D20...

    The difference is that these are male professions. There are lots of female professions that don't have male equivalents; viz., maid, nurse, charwoman, housewife, seamstress, governess, babysitter, matchstick girl, alewife, spinner, damsel in distress, etc.

    OGL and copyright

    Any material derived from open game content (OGC) is itself open game content. You would have to look at the AEG book recommended, though, to determine which of AEG's material is OGC and which is not. That which is not could be covered under Product Identity or by standard copyright.

    Question for the grognards: Why does D&D have dwarves/elves/hobbits etc.?

    They're my favorite race-class combination! That, or the gnome illusionist/thief. Woohoo!
