The OGL cannnot be revoked. Anything released under it stays open, forever. Also, even if Wizards put out an OGL 2.0, no one would be required to use it for older material. If they put all the new material under an OGL 2.0, then you would have to use the new license to use the new material...

Well, the game was supposed to be set before Paul Atreides came into his own, with the Harkonnens still on Dune, I believe. So, doing a big write-up on the Fremen probably wasn't a good idea for the main book. Besides, my favorite part of the setting was the houses and other factions fighting. :)

Please not the following, emphasis mine: I'm pretty sure that paper products falls under "otherwise procured".

Heh, I was worried about all of this at first, then I sat down and thought about it. The whole ESD conversion policy is really a very clever idea, but probably not the way many people think about it. What the policy does is open up a whole lot of previously off-limits stuff to be released as...

Well, looking at things, here's the class list I've come up with: Base Classes: Noble (probably use Fading Suns) An Adept class for the Bene Gesserits, I think I'm going to build a lot of feat choices into it to represent the various kinds of BG that exist. Use the Fighter/Soldier class, but...

Yeah, I don't like the LUG system either. I'm going to sit down and start on some notes tonight, I think. Does anyone have an opinion on the WotC noble vs. the Fading Suns noble? I'm leaning towards the Fading Suns one just because it's OGC, but then again, it's not like I could release a...

Honestly, I've only really paged through it, since I don't have a gaming group right now, but I know people who have played it and liked it. It needs the fleshing out they were going to give it with supplements, but those obviously are not going to come out. It would have been worth the 30-35...

Yeah, d20 Fading Suns is great!!! I'm trying to decide between the WotC Noble and the Fading Suns Noble, though. Which do people like better and why? Also, the social feats are a great addition to d20. I hope a lot of publishers start to incorporate them.

There are a number of ways to model one group of people being tougher than the other. One of the simplest is to just say the average Fremen fighter is higher level than your standard Sardaukar. Most Atredeis soldiers would be of the NPC warrior class anyway, not the PC fighter class. I'd make...

Well, I just got ahold of the Dune RPG put out at GenCon a couple of years ago. I'm going to start work on converting it to d20, but it's going to be slow. :( I have some ideas, like using the defense and reputation systems in Star Wars/Wheel of Time. I've also gotten ahold of Fading Suns...

Well, I finally got around to posting to this thread... Which would make me the God of Procrastination! I wouldn't actually have any worshipers, because no one would ever get around to doing it.

I'm going to add my voice to the approval for this episode. I think it was a great turning point for Buffy. All season long she's felt like she doesn't belong, like she's not as good as she used to be, that nobody needs her because they all took care of themselves while she was dead, she's...

And I consider this a good thing. After all this is "epic" level gaming here. We're talking the big movers and shakers of the world, the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the people who stand a chance of changing the course of history for all time. Don't you think they should be able...

I don't even think they can fire me for playing it at work!

Honestly, this sounds really weird, but they feel... right. Probably because I always used to play pretend when I was a kid, and this was just the logical extension of it. Some people think they're weird and the only thing that runs through my brain is, "Of course they exist. Why didn't...

Just to throw a little more wood on the fire here... I actually agree with jasamcarl's idea on the Avatar ability. It's what struck me as the most logical thing before I read his interpretation. It makes more sense for the Avatar ability to only produce one avatar. However, I also think it's...

I can't wait to see it. I've loved the only trailer I've seen for it so far. However, I am very annoyed to see advertisments for the trailer!!! I wish Lucas would have stayed more low-key this time around. I just don't want to see the big media-blitz again.

mmadsen, I'd reccommend looking at the Wheel of Time magic system. There is one fireball spell, but you have a couple options as to what level you cast it at and how much damage it does. So, a 3rd-level fireball would do less damage than a 5th-level fireball, given the same caster level. All...

Well, I got into Buffy this year. I've seen most of the earlier episodes, but I haven't been able to catch a lot of this season. I didn't like last night's episode for one simple reason. It left me feeling depressed after it ended. Usually an episode ends with a joke, something else upbeat...

March 29th is the day WotC says you'll get it if you preorder from them.
