Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hairfoot" data-source="post: 2808423" data-attributes="member: 23732">Despite flaws and abuses, I like with the OGC model.With OGC, a generic worker drone like myself can independently write and publish PDF material based on the strength of concepts and ideas, rather than my mathematical modelling skills and ability to finance a publication print-run.Being a roleplayer means you can develop unique characters without having to provide an entire novel or screenplay for the characters to inhabit.  OGC means you can write up places, items and people without having to create a pen & paper ruleset for them, and without paying prohibitive licensing fees to WotC.I respect the right of an author or business to claim the title "Spingelbottom's Brass Razoo" as their own creation, but if it's just a magic item using an SRD feat and spell, then its game-rule function was written by someone else, and the author has no claim to it.My question is, what's the deal with modifying the D20 rules themselves?  For instance, how does something like True20 relate to OGC?  It's clearly D20 based, but alters the SRD rules significantly.  Does Green Ronin's PI then cover only the names and flavour text, or all the modified rules as well?</blockquote>
