[QUOTE="boB S, post: 3642566, member: 53280"] From Open Game License: Frequently Asked Questions Version 2.0 -- January 26, 2004 This was my a priori understanding of trademark/copyright issues, that if I am adding substantially original functionality that can be used with some other product then I can claim that compatibility. Wizards apparently thinks so, too, but if I eventually have a real product to market, then I would want to check more carefully into this. So, in this sense it is to my advantage to totally avoid using the OGL/d20 complex. I agree wholeheartedly with your comment! Additionally, I am of the opinion that WotC is doing all they legally can to control the fantasy RPG market, particularly electronic products. Enough of this! I am now going out to have a nice lunch a see the new Harry Potter movie!! [/QUOTE]
