[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 1539182, member: 924"] Yeah, most OGL games are really d20 games, they just don't use the d20 logo. But the game mechanics are d20. In some cases, very much like D&D, in some cases, fairly different (like M&M). I mean, really, the only reason to use the OGL is because you want to include character creation/level up rules and be a stand alone game, or because you want topless women. (Both prohibited by the d20 trademark license) The OGL games I've seen, which are just Mongooses Conan and OGL Cyberpunk and OGL Ancients, are all stand alone. You don't need anything, really. Cyberpunk is really close to the d20 Modern SRD, with some cyberpunk rules added and some tweaks. An OGL game could be based on Action, which I think is the only commercial non-d20 game released under the OGL, but there is something of an assumption that OGL = d20, that an Action game being called "OGL" would confuse and possibly enrage d20 buyers and not attract people who are fans of Action! And of course, the book of Erotic Fantasy was released as an OGL book, but that was because of the topless women rule, it's not a game. [/QUOTE]
