Modern SRD PDF and some questions...

[danzig138]

Hello,
I can't afford the d20 Modern book just yet, so I made a pdf file of the MSRD. I reformatted everything in Word, gave it headings, made the tables more table-like etc. After reading the license, I have a couple of questions:

1. As I understand the license, there should be no problem with my distributing the pdf, even though I reformatted it and such. I also corrected a few minor spelling errors, but I didn't change the text or add anything. Am I correct in my assumption that I can freely distribute this reformatted version?
2. Concerning Section 15 -- since I didn't add any OGC to the MSRD, and I'm pretty sure that my formatting doesn't count for anything, I shouldn't have to add anything to section 15. Is this correct? [/list=1]
   If anyone is interested, the file is located here (1.8 megs):
   http://danzig138.tripod.com/MSRD.pdf
   If anyone has any comments on the document, any screw-ups, any advice on layout and formatting, etc, it's appreciated. Thanks in advance for you answers.

I attemptd to DL the file and was successful, so now I'm checking tripod to see if maybe it is a bandwidth issue or something. Well, after checking the site, I can't tell you what went wrong. I right cliked on the link and selected "Save target as". I'll try to mail the file to you, but my computer is a POS with a crappy connection, so I can't guarantee that it will get to you.

Danzig, throw it up on my ftp server and I'll leave it up there for everyone else.

Thanks

Thanks. Done and done. Of course, it occurs to me that I don't know if people will know what it is from the very short file name of MSRD.

Want me to rename it for you?

Danzig, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but one of the other message board posters, kenjib, did this very same thing, to quite nice results, back in november 16th of this year.

Not to denigrate your hard work, but I just thought you might like to know. One thing that came from the creation of this was the info from Andy Collins and Anthony Valterra (SRD coordinators at WotC) that the term "d20" needs to be removed from the title, if you have not already done so.

If you would like, once you have a more permanent home (assuming kreynolds' ftp server space is it), if you wish I could report this for the front news page of ENWorld.

He announced the availability of his the day I finished my personal one. Annoyed the tar out of me But then, looking over mine, I decided that I could tweak it some more, make it less tailored to my personal tastes. So really, it's not like I did a lot of extra hard work. It is named the Modern System Reference Document. I remembered the d20 thing from that very thread. I like kenjib's file, it's a good pdf, but it is essentially the RTF printed as pdf. I completely reformatted the document, because the RTFs just aren't pretty. (and I like for my files to have a singular, unified appearance) As for a home, hopefully, people will be able to download it from both sites (I still need to figure out iof anyone else has any problems DLing from my site). I know some people prefer FTP, and I like to have mirrors of important files. So if it's cool with Mr. kreynolds, then it's cool with me.
