[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 2778401, member: 7177"] I'm against this as well. After all, there is nothing that prevents a DM from simply replacing a city on the map with a city from any other published setting or book, and I'd prefer this to be a standalone setting instead of something that has tie-ins to existing products. Especially to ones I don't own. ;) In fact, this brings me to another issue. I know that we could, in theory, use any other OGL material for this setting. But I think in practice it would be better to keep third-party material that's not from the SRD to a minimum, especially since IIRC you have to correctly attribute said material to the respective publication - and it is entirely possible that people who are unexperienced with the legal issues of the Open Gaming Licence will accidentally use words and material that actually falls under the "Product Identity" of that publisher. So I propose the following: The Wiki should not use [i]any[/i] OGL material that is not either in the SRD [i]or[/i] originally written for the Wiki [i]unless[/i] the publisher of that material [i]explicitly[/i] gave his permission, and an electronic copy (or a link to it, if it was given on a message board) of the permission must be given to the maintainer of the Wiki. This will make sure that we don't get into any legal troubles if such material is used incorrectly, since the relevant authors are aware of the use of the material from the beginning and can immediately give us notice if something was done wrong - and it will also hopefully generate more good will for our project.
