Message: <blockquote data-quote="justanobody" data-source="post: 4567711" data-attributes="member: 70778">If it was done when ORSIC existed.As I said it was hypothetical. The point still remains that the data would undergo so much scrutiny that it is likely to be thrown out.I did write a plot hook and sell it in the past for a quarter a copy for the copy machine and it sold 4 extra PHBs at a LGS, but that is not the kind of thing I am talking about. One page printouts that sale a book are flukes, and that is likely any other data I had such that would be from LGS would be seen as or so infinitesimal as to be negligent.But to actually have the adventure I have been working on for some time that people have tried to pay me for has been on hold indefinately because I have no legal right to even use the names of some of the things in it, and must remain my own homebrew until that time that I CAN use those names held by TSR....erm WotC now. So even the adventure is incomplete to prevent me from doing anything with it.Why? Because I cannot afford some lawyer should someone decide a single word I used was out of place because my elves do no function exactly like those presented in a core book, but that is the only change or addition to races. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />So how would the data be presented, or should I try to finish the adventure under OSRIC as catclaw suggests and then see IF WotC wants to grant some special license to adapt to 4th using my elves.$1,000,000 bets Scott would refuse me a special license for a single adventure as I am just one random person, and IF Wotc wanted it under 4th, they would buy it as freelance, and then own it.Again wish I knew where that podcast of the 3PP and WotC meeting went on my HDD to review it in regards to the new license that came to be known as the GSL.That is pretty much my point in a nutshell, and I am as my username suggests...just a nobody.My gripe with the GSL is just that. My gripe. If I were to publish I would want that option to change elves the way I want, and otherwise would prefer to have 3PP be able to do the same if they have some world or setting idea that warrants a change to what an elf is.</blockquote>
