[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 1036329, member: 1254"] I keep reading and it keeps getting better! You cant find the open game content designation in Wizard's Amulet? You have to be kidding right? Try the legal appendix, under the heading "Designation of Open Game Content". I am going to presume you found that one. When you complain about there being no OGC and PI designation in the original (as opposed to the revised) you are showing your lack of knowledge. First, Wizard's Amulet (the original) was the very first d20 product and it was made before the concepts of PI existed (that's right you heard me--BEFORE PI EXISTED). Of course if you, like me, had been involved with the shaping of the license from the very beginning you would have known that. So it is probably better for you not to bust on people regarding stuff you dont know about. Instead, we were working with an email from Ryan about how to handle that stuff. There wasnt even a draft of the license back then. You would be shocked to see how sparse stuff was back then. Basically we had advanced copies of the PHB (no DMG no MM) and an email from Ryan (addressed to me personally) authorizing the several pre-release companies to use that content. The license was in an embryonic form at the time. However, despite that lack of historical knowledge by you, you have also failed to find the OGC designation in the original version (though there is no PI declaration since that didnt exist yet, though you will see I called it "closed content" anyway). Try the sidebar headed "Open Game Content" Its right there. Clark [/QUOTE]
