This would, to me, be the problem with such libraries. For instance, if to choose a single set of Herbalism Rules, would you choose Bastion over Atlas? Or would you pick the one that is more popular even if you don't personally feel it's the "best" system? And no matter which you pick...

Yet aren't we seeing that already? How many forms of "magical location" rules have you seen? How about firearms? How many Mass Combat Systems are currently available? It's safe to say that it's failed that purpose. Mind pointing out where, other than AC's irrelevant opinion, this is stated...

Ugh... You folks are giving me flashbacks of an old Louie Anderson skit... "You be here four hours! You go now!"

See, I think the basis of it (OGC is shared, PI is not) is agreed upon by all (at least, that much is clear enough that there is no real debate). The rest falls into details. It's this ambiguity that has me more open to the concept of "crippled" OGC than others are; Of course, nothing prevents...

Think of it this way: If there is a "spirit" of the OGL, it is the opening of game rules for redistribution by other sources, which the OGL permits and promotes, while protecting the artistic investment (fiction, backstory, art, etc.) and corporate image (logos, icons, company names, etc.) under...

IIRC, the Replicators also had an energy:mass ratio that was more economic with small things (gold rings, books, tea, etc.) but became overly-wasteful with larger, more complicated things. That's why they still had dry docks and the Plutonium Shipyards: They couldn't replicate an entire Star Ship.

I'm not a publisher, but I play one on my website. Seriously, as a non-business entity, OGC is very important to me. It determines what I can or can't put on my website. I want my rules available to my players (for convienience) and to the community (for the hell of it). Therefore, I am...

Well, I'm going to assume you are making this comparison to D&D fiction, in which case you're right. However, no one's ever accused any of these... authors... of following the rules. Of course, I'm making this assumption because comparing non-D&D fiction to standard D&Disms is just wrong...

Well, I'm not up to playtesting it (the campaign isn't quite there yet), but I would certainly like to see the system and give it a read, as it sounds like it solves most of the problems I have with "Core Epic". Edit: Forgot email was shut-off... JDomsalla@swfla.rr.com

Breakdaddy... Please drop me an email: jdomsalla@swfla.rr.com. Even if a UASRD never gets done, you'd be saving me hours and hours of transcription (and I only need parts, not the whole thing). Thanks. On topic... Actually, I was thinking about this earlier. This is the kind of project...

Standard play for us is 1 every 2-3 sessions. Some adventures are more hostile than others, though.

Ditto.

Or, they could work on providing more books that aren't 95% crunch. In other words, they could improve the quality of the non-OGC material thus providing a means for their product to retain viability after their material has been distributed through another source. This is an apples-to-oranges...

Glad to see you are capable of making such brilliant character assessments based on a single subject in a single thread. Here's one to consider: We have two publishers. One states in their books that posting their material on a website is fine. The other states that they would prefer it that...

See, to me, the publisher's and author's wishes are inconsequential. Indeed, these wishes seem to ignore (and even conflict with) the agreement they make when they release Open Gaming material... OGL 1.0a, (1c): "Distribute" means to reproduce, license, rent, lease, sell, broadcast, publicly...

Well, I'm just about finished with Sanity. However, I'm still waiting to see if the Breakdaddy/Woodelf collaboration works out, as that would likely be the fastest route of completion. I'm also not sure how many others have been swayed by AC's post, so how much of the former offered...

You seem to have mistaken me. What I was suggesting, more or less, was that incorporating UA into the SRD would have this effect, which just "feels" wrong, if you take my meaning. Alternately, they could (being the SRD) not include these line items and simply add any as-yet unincluded authors to...

His opinion going against the "concensus"? Yes, you are right. However, in this case, his opinion is against the general purpose of the OGL, which does kind of put him in a bad light: He benefits from the OGL by producing his own material via Malhavoc but then complains about the unavoidable...

Blight Magic.

First, welcome to ENWorld... Second, while I agree with your sentiments, you seem to have taken an independant statement from AC as an official statement from WotC, which also seems to have greatly effected the tone of your post.
