It is a GREAT example. As he says, if the new GSL restricts prior OGC use then Tome 4E is going to have some problems. I think it is a great topic for discussion and I think he is right on.Chris, I want to make sure if you are reading that I agree with you about this issue and dont have any issue with you using it for discussion <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Of course, as I mentioned in my first post in this thread, it took more than just the OGL to make Tome1 in the first place. Cause, remember, there is nothing in the original OGL that let me do Tome1. So if the new GSL doesnt let me make Tome 4E, I'll have to do what I did for Tome1, go to WotC and see if they will let me do it. They did for the original Tome of Horrors. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> But please remember that the issue of whether or not I am SOL is not purely based on what is or is not in the GSL. My hope is that even if WotC's new GSL would not, on its face, allow the creation of Tome 4E that they would do for me now what they did for me before--allow me to make monsters for their game that they dont have any intention of doing. I think it is very clear that Necro has been a great caretaker of their content and that we have scrupulously honored our commitment to respect, protect and properly credit the content we were allowed to use. I also think it is abundantly clear that the ToH monsters we made did not in any way hurt or hinder WotC mosnter books. In fact, when I did the ToH I submitted a list of monsters I wanted to do to WotC and they told me what ones to cut from the list because they were doing them in upcoming books and I said fine. I worked closely with them and it was all great. I am hopeful that the GSL will permit me to use the OGC from Tome1, but if not I intend to approach WotC in the same friendly way I have always dealt with them and ask if I can use that content with permission. And this time I'll have more than just my good name and good rep, I'll have the Tome of Horrors to point to so taht they can see they have nothing to worry about. We've been good caretakers before and will again. But its up to them. Not me. So we will see.</blockquote>
