I don't see why you couldn't create your own version of, say, a gnome, and be within your legal rights to do so. Expeditious retreat press did so in the Advanced Players Guide.

I understand why they did it. They want to see creative development from 3rd party publishers. You_can_apply the mathematical values for powers without reprinting the power verbatim, but some powers need to be reprinted to be fully understood. Those, you'll still have to refer to. here's a...

I agree with you to a point. It's not complicated to make cool new monsters for an adventure, but what if you really need, say, a Tiefling warlock for an NPC? Then you run into issues.

It's a holdover from the first version of the GSL, section 4.1. You cannot define or redefine any term in the SRD, which means you cannot reprint monster statblocks verbatim. period. You may make variations on them ( the monsters, classes, races), but you cannot reprint any powers either...

I'm perfectly happy with it. It's a vast improvement. It gives me more freedom to do what I want. Don't get me wrong.

I for one appreciate your "non-legal" observations. :) It's nice to develop some sort of concensus on something before spending the money on legal advice, which I plan to do anyhow. I am a bit concerned about them possibly trying to compete directly with 3pp such as myself, though. Not that...

No, I think you got it right.

Here's a bit more info on the gremlin: Playing a Gremlin An ancient fey race, twisted and deformed while serving the midnight queen during the fabled Winter Wars, gremlins are strange creatures with a knack for making equally strange and wondrous devices of all kinds. More than a little...

Oh wow, I think 4...5? Sorry, brain's frazzled from reading the new gsl/srd/faq

Yeah that would make sense. Any conversions can't define or redefine any existing terms in the GSL SRD.

I do.

I'm still reading through it, but, as far as I can tell, since the old section 6 is out, we can now support our titles in both OGL AND GSL, so long as we are very careful not to violate the existing GSL (which supercedes the ogl), So, as an example, if I decided I wanted to convert my Touch of...

Yep. :) The next Campaign Cutout will follow the same format as Scarrport (though I'm not sure about a character class yet, we'll see if my team can come up with something unique and relevant), and will have references to the city/region. Though it'll be designed to drop into anyone's game...

The PDF will likely be priced around 12.95. I use a pretty standard formula for pdfs: Roughly 1 dollar for every 10 pages, and right now it's looking to be about 125 pages, though, once I get into layout, that may very well change. Gotta make power cards, add artwork, etc... I won't ever...

I'm hoping to have this beast ready for release in PDF format right around the 15th. Print will take longer, but I'm hoping to have it in stores by Gencon.

You know, at first, I kind of felt WOTC made a mistake, leaving the craft skill out, but as I read this thread, I'm starting to change my mind. By purposely leaving it out, they give individual gaming groups the freedom to decide how they wish to handle crafting in their games. Sure it amounts...

Good point. I don't think it breaks the game if you allow a character to create a sword, or piece of armor, or a long bow and arrows. I do wonder what would happen if they decide to make a bunch of stuff and start selling it, or they want to craft complicated devices. Would that break the...

Oh he did? Hmm I'll have to take a closer look at that book.
