[QUOTE="Moon-Lancer, post: 4407287, member: 35798"] If I was making my own rpg, I would be wanting clarification on what constitutes a redefinition under the srd. As i see it, one cant redefine the rules already in place, so really the only thing you can do with the gsl is make new races, monsters, and adventures but these rules cant superseede the original rules. Now this is a simplistic take on the matter, but this the problem as i see it (not mentioning the whole poison pill). So with that, could i make a Rune Elf or is that a redefinition of Elf? If I make a new race and wizards later adds a race with the same name to the srd, am i screwed? The gsl to me seems to be so incredibly limiting its laughable. I am glad that the gsl is receiving minimal support. It means their is a strong voice of designers who want to support 4e and will do so, just not using the gsl. It makes general copyright less risky in greater numbers. (edit) This is a response to necromancer games wanting clarification. If their was any part of the gsl i wanted clarification on it would be this. I wonder if necromancer games has the same problems with the gsl that I do. [/QUOTE]
