[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 2658209, member: 3397"] 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. 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. 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. 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. [/QUOTE]
