I don't think that's right. D&D, AD&D, d20, etc. are trademarks that Wizards owns. You can't use them in advertising/marketing a product without their permission (unless it's a totally unrelated kind of product - you could sell d20 dishwashers, for instance). What Wizards is saying with the OGL...

Yes, you're missing this: The SRD is gutted so you don't get character generation or level advancement rules using it and the OGL, and the d20 license keeps it that way. The d20 license prohibits functionality necessary to the software we are talking about. All we have is the SRD under OGL...

There is a whole mess of software out there to assist with pen and paper RPGs, some of it quite capable. What's out there (besides PCGen) that runs on Linux? I'm mainly asking about the Linux equivalents of stuff like RolePlayingMaster and Campaign Suite... software that tries to do a lot. Is...

So... Excel makes it easy for you to mark up the variant rules you mention in your signature so that anybody else using Excel can use them in their game? Wow. I thought it was just a bloated spreadsheet with an annoying talking paper clip.

I'm hoping to use it as that... there are plenty of old discussions of this sort one can find, but there's nothing like a fresh crispy one hot out of the oven. (IANAL, but I've met a couple,) Avoid the d20 license; the "nudge nudge" technique is sufficient. ("It's compatible with a Major...

It should be so mind-blowingly useful and popular that RPG publishers distribute electronic versions of their product that are compatible with it because if they didn't nobody would buy them. It should be capable of generating an entire game world on the fly, just in case the players decide to...
