[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1115990, member: 1288"] [brief hijack] Ranger, I can sort of see your point when it comes to a new game, like this. I don't necessarily agree, but I can understand where you're coming from. But what of a campaign setting? Suppose I decide to put out a setting that has, as a central theme, a kingdom with a number of depraved social and sexual customs. (Let's leave aside for the moment the idea of whether such a thing appeals to you; I'm not planning to really do it anyway.) Let's say the publisher decides, or even is told explicitly, that this violates the standards clause of the D20 license. Would you still think going OGL with the "3.5 Compatible" comment is lazy? After all, the intent was never to create a new game, but merely a campaign setting. Including character generation rules (or, for that matter, combat rules, and advancement rules) would be as redundant as putting such rules in, say, Scarred Lands or Midnight or Nyambe. Surely, for a product of this sort, going OGL with the above comment is no "lazier" than going D20 in the first place? [end hijack, for the moment] [/QUOTE]
