[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 156424, member: 1054"] [b]How to make a Spycraft SRD[/b] Look at page 286 of the Spycraft core rules. Listed there is what is, and isn't, Open Game Content in the book. Transcribe everything listed as open game content, and publish it as the "Modern Spy SRD" (You will not be allowed to use, or refer to, "Spycraft" in the SRD -- the name is PI) Remember, part of the nature of the Open Gaming License is that you don't need permission -- if you follow the rules, you can *freely* copy, modify, derive from, and redistribute all Open Gaming Content. The Spycraft SRD already exists within the Spycraft core book -- it just needs someone willing to extract it. You don't even need to rephrase or rewrite anything, except where PI is included in the otherwise open text. You can copy it verbatim. I'm not saying this is a trivial task. There's a lot of material there, and figuring out what is and isn't open content isn't easy. But it can be done, and legally. I'd recommend running your final draft past AEG before posting it, but they can't out-and-out deny you the right to distribute it; all they can do is say "Thus and such isn't Open Gaming Content" and let you edit or remove it. AEG probable doesn't have the time or resources to release an SRD; even WOTC is forced to dribble their out piecemeal, and they have the most to gain. But the 'SRD' for *ANY* Open Gaming product, by definition, exists already. (None of the D&D material published by WOTC is published under the OGL, so, there's no SRD hiding in there. But there is one hiding in every other produce released under the OGL.) [/QUOTE]
