d20 supplement questions

[mOoEyThEcOw]

I thought of a name: Du'ni (do-nigh)
its a small change and dosnt change our pronunceation much so YAY

Also this 'Supplement' is going to be huge i have 4 and a half 250 page notebooks filled with crap (and i wright small) so im going through and putting togeather the basics

(1 book is filled with hundreads (if not thousands) of random genetration tabels (and anthoer goes with it whith a lot of the information used with the random tabels). The random genertion tabels can be used for campaigns ON THE FLY no preplanning required (and there is 2 modes silmple and advanced)

Though i am currently looking for a charecter sheet and some one who could convert a word document in to a PDF, the latter i wont need for awhile)

You MAY use this in your campaigns IF you give credit to me. You MAY NOT take credit for the making of this OR repost this with out my consent UNLESS it is unmoddified Open Game Content in which case it is not under my jursidiction (refer to the Open Game Licences at the end of this document

No. You cannot force peopel to not modify your Open game Content. The point of the license is that people can reproduce, modify or extend the material you create, not force them to use it unmodified.

That said, anything you have in the document that is BASED on existing Open Game Content must in turn be declared as Open Game Content.

So if you create a new skill, it will be OGC because it uses the skill system from the existing rules. Ditto for a new feat, and so on. You could make the NAME of the skill or feat Product Identity, but not the mechanics.

so i can claim certain parts as soley mine? like items? or just the basic idea behind the item for example guns when i type up their damage and settings?

As long as the item are not based on any Open Game Content. So you could not claim the game stats of a gun as Product Identity, you could indeed claim the description of the gun.

i also remeber reading that leveling up and xp is not included in the srd so does that mean i can post any thing about that because i was planing a table that calculated xp for encounters

If you are including alternate XP rules, then you cannot release under the terms of the d20 STL, but you can still release under the terms of the OGL.

What do I name it?

How about "The Really Incredible RPG" or some such. In other words, if you are including a full RPG in these rules, then call it such, not a supplement or something. The name should carry along from the product as a matter of course.

Is there a wandering prostitute table in there? If so, count me in!

You are planning on getting someone to proof read and edit your book, aren't you? You might want to spend a bit more time on your posts, and concentrate on your spelling, punctuation, and grammer. It's hard to take them, or any book you plan on publishing, serious if the first impression you leave is that all of your posts are hard to read.

Just an opinion from a former editor.

What? Dave, that's a 1E chart - my game'll be all thrown off if I use that! God, why won't someone update that chart to 3E?!

Poor writing on message boards does nothing to make you look professional. Take a look at posts here by anyone who wants their posts to be taken seriously, and you'll find that the better you write in your posts, the more likely people will be to listen to what you have to say.

As far as Word goes, don't rely on its spell check and grammar check. It makes plenty of mistakes on its own. If you really want to be sure you have correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, have someone else physically proofread it.

No wait, that's not the right biblical quote. It's
"Let he who is stoned cast the first sin."

Or did I get it right the first time?
