[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1494856, member: 812"] Exactly why I chose that example. Like I said, "in the absence of any other information", this is what we know. Now, sure, Mr. Pramas posted on his board a note saying that he'd rather people not do that. That's "other information." I hope he doesn't mind that I posted a bunch of stuff from the book on my campaign site, because it didn't occur to me to search the GR message boards on the chance there might have been a post to that effect. I don't see why it would have occurred to me to do that. I don't mind that he doesn't want people doing that. I understand -- he wants to sell as many copies of the book as he can, and thinks that people posting material from it will be bad for his sales. He's obviously a smart guy and good businessman. And runs a company that puts out GREAT products that I love and spend lots of money on. I would hope, however, that he would not call me names because I have done what he gave me permission to do. And I'm not sure I agree that my posting rules from his book is going to be bad for his sales. I very much doubt that any of my players would ever have purchased the book, anyway. Indeed, I might not have purchased it if I hadn't known I could legally share the rules with my players without making them buy the book themselves. I started my Skull & Bones campaign largely because I knew I could start it up with such a small investment. I haven't started up a Mutants & Masterminds campaign, for example, because the Power Costs are not OGC and so I can't share them. My players will all need to refer to the rulebook in order to create characters, which is a barrier to starting a M&M campaign. OGC sometimes equals MORE sales. It's not a clear-cut situation at all.
