[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 8051, member: 363"] Yes, let's stay scrupulously away from any appearance of using the d20 license or even the OGL. This is a fan-based effort, and we should be careful to maintain that status. I've read a couple of notes online by WotC staffers that WotC will generally leave someone alone as long as they don't attempt to stake a claim of legitimacy, in a legal sense, by using the OGL. If they do, then WotC will most likely make sure they toe the chalkline. From what info I've gotten, Decipher is holding off for a month or so in completing their RPG due to some legal negotiations going on right now. I have no idea what they'll do about this effort on our parts, but I do know that Matt Colville has been aware of this conversion process for quite a while. We'll see. In the meantime, though, let's forge ahead. The worst that can happen is that they ask us to stop. If that happens, well, we already have a lot of stuff done, and there is always e-mail. From fandom we come, and to fandom we shall return. No harm done. [/QUOTE]
