I need a programming project to help me get some direction with learning WPF and Silverlight using C# and other related technologies. I decided to start small and start with a basic dice roller to help me roll up NPC's and expand from there including animated vector images and the such. That got...

I don't think that the arguement is every FLGS is run poorly, I'm sure many are ran rather well. But you don't have to run your business poorly to make bad decisions, mistakes, or to get caught up in the wave of a new market boom. I think a lot of stores made bad decisions early on about D20 and...

Everytime I see the topic come up everyone seems to want to blame the glut of D20 products that were crappy and label the downfall of the FLGS on that glut. Everyone tends to gloss over the FLGS's responsibility for their share of the problem. Stores who blindly bought any D20 book and/or...

Why not just ask the author or the publisher of the material? The worst they can say is no or that they want ONE MILLION DOLLARS :) Seriously though most the authors/publishers I've spoken with in the past were really open to disccusion and either clarified their declarations or gave the ok...

IIRC from when this was debated on the original mailing list that it was generally accepted that the content not declared either OGC or PI would fall to normal copyright laws to resolve. This has never been tested and it's probably a better idea to just not use it without consulting with a...

Pretty cool, I'll check it out. Thanks for the update. Gil

How did you originall source your rules infomation? Did you take if from the DnD books or did you use the SRD? If you used the SRD and not information from WOTC's printed books things will be easier to ensure you don't include none open information. If you also took info from other OGL...

it's working for me. B

As it stands now the OGL doesn't exclude or limit software. You must ensure that the OGC it uses can be easily identified by the end user, which does pose its own challenges, but no where does the OGL limit or exclude software. However, the D20 System Trademark License did limit software. Gil

I loved Eric's site. It came about at a time that I needed a change in my gaming table and I can say with out a doubt that site is what brought me back to DnD, and I would not have gave 3E the same benefit of the doubt if all of the news comign from that site wasn't making it's way to my...

For my group of 20th level characters who had a policy of carry everything you own, leave nothing behind, it went something like this when ransacking a powerful and old lich wizard's main lair who was known to be especially sinister.... <DM> You arrive at what you think is the door to the...

This is why GR is rad! :) B

I finally was able to get it about 1 am CST. Problems aside it was great of GR to offer up some cool stuff. I don't think they really anticpated the load they were going to get, just shows them how popular their stuff is. That and offering free stuff to gamers is like chumming the waters for...

yah mostly the same for me. I finally actually got something in my shopping cart and the site crashed again during check out and I havent' been able to bring it up since. Gil

One notable exception in the official rules thread is powers like Telekinesis that don't normally have a save so aren't affected by the PL limit. Normally TK doesn't have a save but you can buy the damaging extra, the ruling allows you to by TK 20 still but you can't apply more than the PL limit...

i'd say your right. Character creation is one of the main benefits of dropping the D20logo. Gil

OGL content is licensed separately from the D20 logo license. D20 lincense stuff must contain OGL content but a OGL product doesn't need the D20 logo. Gil

right, I was just trying to state that there is not a requirement to go further up the chain past Y.

And if you are only using Y then the license only requires you to cite Y's S.15 not all of the sources that Y used.

I'm not quite clear on how Ranger meant his comment. The reason I don't like the S.15 the way it is done now is because it can get quite large by sourcing just few sources for just a few feats or spells. What would I do if I was the man in charge? I don't know. To enable the license to allow...
