[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 1191785, member: 2013"] FWIW, Matt, I think this is great! I love the idea of OGC art. :) As Paul pointed out, there IS something of a risk involved* - and I think highly of you for doing this! Consider a copy of each sold! And I'll definitely be looking to buy any more stuff along these lines released by you. :) --The Sigil *I think it's less of a risk than many may think, though - most people who want "free stuff" will just distribute it illegally with no regard for the OGL... and most people who want to do things legally will be nice enough to respect those who publish under the OGL and not just try to turn around and "re-post" their stuff for free. Again, I point to "Freeport" and "Bastion Press" books as examples - while you CAN distribute the text of those over the Internet (they are 100% OGC) - nobody HAS done so. I think the whole worry of "if I designate it all as OGC, somebody can undercut me and give it away legally" is vastly overblown, given that there have been ample opportunities for it to happen - [i]and it still hasn't happened.[/i] There is "piracy" occurring out there, to be sure - but the "piracy" problem is something wholly different - it is [b]illegal[/b] distribution of materials - we're talking about [b]legally[/b] undercutting someone by simply posting their OGC to the web here, and to my great pleasure, it hasn't happened yet... gives me great hope relative to the integrity of the RPG community.
