Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yair" data-source="post: 2874250" data-attributes="member: 10913">Essentially, Malhavoc's policy is to "cripple" OGC: they release only little and often incomplete material as OGC, and use vague declarations and, ehem, inventive interpretations as to what is or is not OGC. This makes it all but impossible for other companies, or a private person, to legally use their OGC. For example, in Iron Heroes Malhavoc released the text of the class features as OGC; it didn't release the class's HD and other essential information without which the class features make no sense. On the surface they gave you the class, but you can't really use it without being derivative of non-OGC material: the OGC is crippled, it cannot walk without the crutches of non-OGC content. (That "HD: 1d4" is not OGC is also an example of their inventive interpretations.)I do not find myself wanting to sponsor such policies. Although to be honest, I do purchase some of their products and the worst OGC designation I saw recently was in "Advanced Races Codex : Dwarves" by Green Ronnin  of all places <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> This is a tangent and often a flame-war bait. If the above answer does not satisfy you (or if anyone else wants to press some issues here), I suggest to open another thread.</blockquote>
