    OGC Settings Revisited

    The reason I missed that is that I don't recall ever hearing about the NCG. However, names are a CRUCIAL part of being able to use another's OGC setting. I'm not sure what the designation is, but if it takes out things like place's names, god's names, or so on then I wouldn't call it an OGC...

    Looking for a certain type of RPG...

    FUDGE arguably does this, but this is more like a toolkit to make a game. One of the recommended combat resolution methods is to have the characters say what they intend to do, then make the relevant skill rolls and the DM rules what happened up to an arbitrary point - from deciding the entire...

    [Ars Magica] Looking for Players

    We require a few more players for an online-tabletop Ars Magica game. We have played a few sessions, but the secession of two players (one for work, the other for internet connectivity issues) means we are now short on players and need more to have regular sessions. The sessions would be held...

    Answers on the GSL!

    And would you be willing to go to court over it? The issue is murky, and will remain so until a judgment is made on such a case (or a few). What you say is true, but it's also true that judges tend more to side with the big money in recent years, and abide by strict WTO restrictions. Would...

    D&D Modules on Wikipedia

    While I disagree, I do think Wikipedia needs to institute several "detail levels". See for example, the Encyclopedia of Life - look at this page, at the left below the picture there is a "Detail" bar. "Less" detail gives you a single paragraph. Currently any other setting will give you the same...

    D&D 4E DCC 4e Covers

    I really like the new covers, much more than the old ones. I found the dungeon crawl adventures too much of a dungeon crawl, though :heh: Not much surprise there...

    GSL FAQ up

    Having the market leader (by far) leave the open-game community is a big blow to said community. Is it an end to Open Gaming? I'd wager it isn't - that product lines such as M&M and True20 will continue, and that OGL-licensed games will continue to be published and developed. But the volume of...

    Answers on the GSL!

    Since WotC can arbitrarily amend the GSL, they can amend it to cease any such practices that emerge. It would be very unwise to publish products that WotC disapproves of; this runs the very big risk of instigating a license change that would make selling these products untenable, creating large...

    GSL FAQ up

    The FAQ says registration would be needed to use the GSL, For fan sites, at least for fans not registered as publishers with WotC, this means the GSL will be totally irrelevant. You can't simply publish a fan site under the GSL, you need to register with WotC as a publisher to publish anything...

    GSL FAQ up

    Hah. Good joke. .... it's a joke, right? ....right? In other news... I'd note that since I have no intention of registering with WotC, the GSL has no impact on my fan sites - unlike the OGL, which had when I wanted it to. I'm rather disappointed with this provision, but I suppose this...

    GSL FAQ up

    No. The issue isn't that I'd like to do something WotC would be opposed to, but rather that I'd like to do something without them having any right to tell me not to. I just don't want to depend on their good graces. I have full, complete, total confidnece that they would not exploit their...

    GSL FAQ up

    Yes it does. It cares about ENWorld, it cares about having fan sites and a vibrant fan community. What WotC doesn't, apparently, do is consider the issue worth commenting on in the GSL-related FAQ - or perhaps they haven't made up that policy, or want to keep it a secret for now (until Gleemax...

    Answers on the GSL!

    I'm disappointed they haven't answered question 8 - their fan site policy. I think the poison pill is not particularly poisonous. I do wonder how it would apply in practice to succesful lines, though. Let's say Green Ronin decides to make a 3e "Guide to Freeport" and support products...

    GSL FAQ up

    I am disappointed that Wizards didn't answer the key question for fan sites, especially as it took the questions from ENWorld: Of course, their interest lies with aiding the publishers right now - but I would have thought fan sites would be on their mind as well. At any rate, this is fast...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Iconic Girls!

    I really like your sorceress, far more than the original with her mousy face and breast-forwarding unnatural posture (Pathfinder Alphas 2, page 27). I especially liked her attire, which I think you drew much more beautiful and flowing, and her clearer tattoos. However, her right leg appears...

    [Ampersand] Bill Slavicsek on campaign settings

    I don't like it. I don't think a future Complete Divine (-like product) would serve the players of Eberron as well as Faiths of Eberron. I don't think writing Faiths of Eberron to be appealing to players in FR would make the book better for players of Eberron. And so on. By trying to dance in...

    Redesigning the D&D website

    I like it's overall design better than the current one, less cluttered and piecemeal. It does, however, seem to be missing the links to the various sections in its navigation bar. The articles each fit into a category, but I don't see the link to the categories (in case I'm interested in seeing...
