That is not the case even with the most liberal reading of the license. It is also not supported by any of the three dozen books that use the OGL that I have studied. The SRD is really expansive and there really isn't an effective way to produce a closed product when using it and the OGL. The...

Your example is a far cry from your statements of " If they were concerned about cut-paste jobs, they would simply have made the entire game closed." and "They can't close anything that's already open, but they can make the slightest changes and call it closed content, if they choose." those...

Once you derive from open content via the OGL you cannot close it or change the terms for it. If you don't use the OGL but follow normal copyright law then there is no open or closed content since OGC and PI are constructs of the OGL and not copyright law. if you use the OGL and derive from...

They would not be able to make any rules closed that they derived from OGC from third parties. I haven't seen the product so I can't comment on what parts are derived but from their marketing material I have read it seems that most of it is derived from the original WOTC SRD for 3/3.5. What...

scarred lands rocked. loved that world. Also I love Kingdoms of Kalamar. nice fluff with an awesome atlas. Only thing I really didn't like about it was the names are so dang hard to pronounce for some of the cultures. KenzerCo makes KoK. B

Well to get new service at most carriers you will sign a contract for x amount of time. At ATT the standard is 2 years. With the iPhone a data plan is required for the life of the service and cannot be removed from the service plan. Even if you get a connect card for you laptop there is a 2 year...

the main thing that kills this for me as a product in general and specifically for education and RPG usage is that it doesn't have a stylus, there is no way or software to take handwritten notes. This was hugely important to me as a student to be able to quickly and on the fly jot down ideas...

holy cow two pages, and I thought it was a simple question :) Seriously though, thanks for all the input. My group and I talked it over and we are going with the "it happens twice model". Our reasoning is it's an encounter power so it's not like it happens every round and it fits the flavor of...

That's a good post. I'll have to think about that. Gil

I can see that arguement but I see Push 1 and Push 4 as the samething since the way I resolve that in my mind is a single push that send the person flying X number of squares, especially since the fighter remains stationary in terms of his square. My question arises because in my mind I see the...

I am playing a fighter (Guardian build option, Iron Vanguard Paragon Path). Iron Vanguard's 16th level feature is Trample the Fallen which lets me deal damage equal to my Con mod when I push or knock a creature prone. My Shield Slam,Enounter 3 power Fighter from marital power, effect is...

This is a common (at least with my collection of OGL books) technical mistake. When using the OGL you have to copy their S.15 exactly but you also put in a copyright notice of the book you are using so them not including it, in my non lawyer opinion, doesn't create a funcitonal issue. Gil

it would be interesting to see the revised product. They can release their original non-OGL based content under whatever license that they want but they cant release items based on the OGL content under any terms that would be incompatible with the OGL. You can however still use the original...

I don't think any one title will prove it either way. whether they will benefit from pulling pdf's is something they will be determined over the course of time not the success or failure of a single title. gil

I loved first edition. My favorite monster to use was the Zavor...had the nasty ability to split into separate creatures when struck witha magic item. Favorite spell carpet of adhesion. gil

Misfit Studios is doing a SRD Monsters conversion product. Might keep an eye on that if you don't want to do the conversions yourself. gil

<snipped original> I didn't see all the links before I commented so I removed my original comments. More to the point of this thread.....Will your tact tiles be physically compatiable with the original set? If so all members of my group will likely pop for another set. gil

You should be able to create a custom layout and then set it to default. I don't remember all the options of the top of my head but I think that was possible. it doesn't fix you immediate need to edit the existing sheets but it should fix the your issue moving forward. edit: Klaus types faster...

The way I understand the lincese is that you could have a Balhannoth Guard, I don't think the multipart name has anything to do with it. As long as I can reference the term Balhannoth I think I could derive from it. What you can't do is copy wholesale the text entries or stat blocks without...

LMAO! Good one mark! I think I'll have to toss a dollar up on your table for that! Gil
