(Discussion) General Part V

Neither ever will be on the net. UA is OGL, but that doesn't qualify it for the SRD. Wizards can put whatever they want in the SRD, but I'm doubting that variant rules will get placement.

Complete Warrior is entirely a splatbook. Won't ever be placed online. Can't quote me on that (they can do whatever they want).

It strikes me that the main criteria should probably be, as has been said, accessability to everyone. Which means that if we're willing to put legality aside, anyone could submit for approval online individual bits of non-OGC books. So Gnomeworks would ask for approval of the non-caster ranger and the boomerang individually, posting their respective stats.

As I said, though, not legal. Ah well, can't have everything...

Ah, legality...

Wouldn't this possibly fall under Fair Use? IANAL, but from what I've read, so long as you credit the creator and aren't making profit, you're good.

What I know is that on the Wizards boards, where they have direct control, posting copyrighted stuff gets you smitten right quick.

We could always hope they don't notice...

General discussion /seems/ to be the right place for this...I'm going to post a character and join in the fun..but..been knocking about some ideas about adding background and info on an island chain, off the coast, since I haven't seen anything island-y described in what I've read...is there a place I might have missed, and any guidelines besides fitting in with what exists so far?

Well, I know that we can always add more small islands to the general world concept, however the map is almost finished by Scorpio. Which means that it probably won't slide itself into the map, but it's fine to have in your background.

IIRC there is an island named Hawaki in someones background.

Tamatea's background is, from what I gather, a tropical island chain. If that's what you're looking for, there you go.

I've posted an Announcement at the top of the forum. I hope that people take notice. If you can't reply to an announcement, you can just reply here. I'm really hoping to pick things up around here and get things organized and condensed.

If we can roll this place together soon, we can start a big recruitment again and see if we can't bring this place to life a bit.

Obviously, I'm looking to pick things up a bit more around here.

I need two judges for character approvals. Right now, I think that Nimisgod is a volunteer.

I need two more judges to watch games being played.

I need one more judge to oversee the "Guide to Living EN World" project.

I'm going to give all of these people access to the judge count, and I'm going to see if I can get an admin to change their title from "Registered User" to "Living EN World Judge." I'm also going to try and give the Judge account a new password every month, but allow it to moderate the LEW forum.

I'll volunteer... Whatever needs to be done.
