Oops. I meant to say "compatible with Dungeons and Dragons." I'm sorry. I guess I typed that up too fast.

That is interesting. If what you are saying is correct, then I really hope that other d20 publishers start taking full advantage of this as well. Until a product is officially released, they can plaster "Dungeons & Dragons" all over the place - web sites, advertisements in Dragon Magazine, you...

I think it's fine that they publish it, and that people use it, but I think it's bad for the industry vis-a-vis the directions that I want to see the game develop toward. I am a father, but I don't fit into either "approve" or "disapprove" so I didn't vote.

It was just in the EN news - maybe a week ago - that Otherworld Creations will be putting out regional sourcebooks for Diomin via RPGNOW. They are also working on the Solid! blaxploitation d20 game. The Twin Crowns folks put out "Streets of Silver" and "Spellbound" recently. Larry Fitz was...

The emphasis below is mine: Okay, so the Press Release is not currently a violation, but the moment they release the book, it becomes one. It looks to me that the very act of publishing the book under the license now creates a breach of the license. So, because of this press release there is...

From the "Tip Sheet": Not only does this indicate compatibility through association by stating that the license indicates compatibility and the product uses the license, but as I understand the OGL, the statement that the OGL allows "anyone to create products compatible with the Dungeons &...

Jack Chick is irregular? :o Too much information!!!!

In addition to what others have already said, the press release does not say "compatible with the System Reference Document." It says "Dungeons and Dragons." As I understand, you can put "System Reference Document," but not "Dungeons and Dragons" in section 15 of your OGL. "Dungeons and...

hahahahaha!

Which, by association of it's employees, also might effect WotC's reputation. This is one of the reasons that many companies put anti-competition clauses in employment contracts (some even continuing in effect for a time period after termination of employment!).

Hey, if it works once, why not twice? Remember the pre-print Book of Vile Darkness' official ad copy that suggested rape and prostitution before freelancer Monte (who is completely without fault) stepped in to clarify that the info was wrong? Remember all of the free advertising it generated...

That, my friend, is a very enlightening argument as to why boycotting a store for carrying a particular product is a form of censorship. I can honestly say with no sarcasm that I now understand completely where you are coming from and the relative merit of the basis for your argument.

Re: Re: Re: Listen carefully. Anthony Valterra. Hmm...

None of it is unacceptable out of hand and any of these things could be done in an acceptable manner. It all depends on context in a very complicated way. I think the criteria is not something I can lay out as a set of rules so much as I know what I don't like when I don't like it. On a...

To be honest, I think this is even more of a tempest in a teapot than worrying about the effect this book might have on the industry is. Arguing about arguing about something? Good point! I've been wasting too much time on these threads. Time to move on and stop arguing about whether or not...

Ah, okay. I see now. I forgot about that with all the deluge of posts that came later. Thanks for clarifying. :)

Has anyone said anything beyond this? I am actually curious as to who has. So far I haven't seen anyone make a statement any more harsh than this. The discussion I've read seems to revolve around various people explaining why they don't like it personally, even though they think it has every...

Actually I agree that it is highly unlikely that the book will even make a ripple. Nontheless, I just don't like the possibility and I don't like the potential for the sub-market expanding.

Where do you get "PC" from? That is another term often used in the context of slanderous misrepresentation.

Is purchase of those products and this book mutually exclusive? I don't see how this relates to my point.
