[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 3793483, member: 1254"] Valiant, I'm not really sure why I continue to discuss this. It just leads to people being unhappy. So maybe the smart thing to do is just put it to bed. But I've never been accused of being smart, so here we go... "OSRIC compatible" concerns me. Lets leave it at that. I believe it is better to simply not make that reference at all. I think it is better to just make your 1E module using the OGL and leave it at that. The reasons behind this are both legal and practical. I dont see any real gain by tying a product to OSRIC. Heck, go to Cannonfire and pimp your product. That should do the trick. In my view, the less affiliated you are with OSRIC the safer you are. If you can do it with the OGL without OSRIC why add the extra layer of risk? Its not like that name/logo/whatever actually has significant recognition. If it did, you guys wouldnt be here tryijng to drag it into the limelight with these otherwise useless and highly repetitive discussions just to say OSRIC OSRIC OSRIC over and over again. But hey, its my fault. I'm getting baited into it :) I think I've said my bit. You all go ahead and do whatever you were going to do anyway. You can call it scaretactics if you want. But I dont like OSRIC on any level--legal, practical or ethical. Its a copyright violation (IMHO), it is bad business and it is an attempt to take stuff that clearly the owner of the content is trying to protect when you have a different and totally risk free alternative way to do things. YMMV. Rock on. Clark [/QUOTE]
