But you don't make those characters open content, do you? There is no problem. What's closed isn't open.I'm contemplating an OGC setting, actually. I doubt it will ever see fruition, but hey - creating worlds is fun <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I am only aware of two OGC settings (Murchad's Legacy and SpirosBlaak), and I doubt either of their producers would be thrilled at having the setting available for free online.I'm sure there are others.1) What "select group"? I think the group should be anyone that signs in. Contributers that prove they have no understanding of the OGL or no respect for the Wiki's submission guidelines will be locked out.2) Well, as it is an OR list, it seems alright. I would again mention my pet peeve - crippled OGC.I don't expect (c) to come up much these days, and even more in the future.3) In this case, I hope a good script could be cooked up. Also, I would present it as a link rather than within the text.Your policy doesn't give guidelines on the treatment of fluff or crunch, I'm not so certain what the policy should be there.I would tend to also accept a publisher's wishes against his material being on the wiki. However, I would remove it only if the publisher presented a valid reason - such as revising or  republishing it.It also fails to consider revised materials. Say I enter in my variation on Murchad's Legacy's (ML) religions, and that BiggusGeekus later asks for his ML OGC to be removed. My entry is based on his OGC, but it is modified - should it be removed? Say I enter a recent spell from a book just published, but with considerable revisions, a "broken" but cool spell that I "fixed" - am I not now the "publisher"? If not, how do you treat OGC that is derived from prior (non-SRD) OGC?Consider also that all these restrictions mean that the wiki may be more palatable to the publishers but will contain less. I predict that sometime after its founding a new wiki will be founded that will incorporate all its materials and add "off limits" material.</blockquote>
