Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenmarable" data-source="post: 5838676" data-attributes="member: 40359">No worries, I'm well aware of what is Open Content and what isn't. I've been freelancing and following the OGL discussions very closely since Ryan Dancey was floating the draft version around. (Some days I followed far too closely - you wouldn't believe the number of electrons spilled on industry email lists debating whether PI is a subset of OGC - that is unusable - or if it is a separate type of content. *yawn*)I wanted to focus on the wilds of the planes so that I could compliment the old Planescape material if anyone wanted to use it, but was distanced enough that I can get away without addressing any of it and not feeling like something was obviously missing. I don't want to dance around with references like "the big city with lots of portals ruled by some mysterious lady" that are legally iffy at best, and lame either way.Also, one reason why I really like using Pathfinder is that Paizo has opened up the basics of their outer planes. Some names are swapped out with public domain names, but enough basics are there that I can write stuff that is OGL compliant and still fit in pretty obvious ways with their cosmology (which is similar enough to the old WotC Great Wheel that it's not too hard to translate between them as well).I just reference the Planescape stuff in my message to get the idea across quickly. Official company products and advertisements will be suitably clear of WotC's IP. So no worries and thanks for the interest!</blockquote>
