GSL questions for Scott Rouse and Mike Lescault

[Drkfathr1]

Hmmmm. Notice how her "blog" has "days" and not actual "dates"....

 

[lurkinglidda]

Given that we seem to be in something of a lull, I'd like to have a quick sidebar: Linae, how the heck is your name pronounced? Is the "e" silent, and it's "LEE-na," or does the "e" modify the preceding vowel, and it's "lin-AY"?

It's like lin-AY or LeNez if you're french. However, I respond to almost any ladies' name that starts with an L, including Lidda. In college a drunk guy called me Lemonade...that followed me for the rest of my schooling.

 

[lurkinglidda]

Well since we're on completely unrelated topics now, Lidda, how much hairspray does your avatar need to hold her hair in that position?

None! She's meant to be in action, about to fall backwards - see the cover of Book of Challenges for the whole piece.

When I was posing for it Lockwood said, "Hope you ski because after holding this 'I'm going to fall backwards' pose for 20 minutes your legs are going to burn!"

That wasn't accidental

 

[Drkfathr1]

Lidda is still my favorite iconic.

LeNez as in The Nose?

So we got The Rouse and The Nose now, sounds like fun...

Always the best way to end up with nick names.

Wizards of the Coast is pleased to announce that third-party publishers will be allowed to publish products compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game system under the new Dungeons & Dragons 4E Game System License (D&D 4E GSL). This royalty-free license will replace the former d20 System Trademark License (STL), and will have a System Reference Document (SRD) available for referencing permissible content.

The D&D 4E GSL will allow third-party publishers to create roleplaying game products in fantasy settings with the D&D 4th Edition rules, and publishers who register with WotC will be granted the right to use a version of the D&D logo that denotes the product as compatible with the D&D 4th Edition Roleplaying Game, in accordance with WotC’s terms and conditions. The effective start date for sales of D&D 4E GSL publications will be October 1, 2008.

The license associated SRD will be available on June 6, 2008, at no cost. A small group of publishers received advanced notice and will receive these documents prior to June 6, at no cost, in order to prepare for publication of compatible materials by the effective start date. If you haven’t already been contact by WotC, you will be able to access the documents on the Wizards website beginning on June 6, 2008.

Wizards is also working on the details of a second royalty-free license, the d20 Game System License (d20 GSL). This license will allow third-party publishers to create roleplaying game products in non-fantasy settings with the 4E rules. The exact details for the d20 GSL will be released as they become available.
