Shaman's Handbook - what's OGC?

[jeffh]

I have looked and looked and I cannot find, anywhere in Green Ronin's Shaman's Handbook, a designation of OGC. What is and is not meant to be OGC in this book? Has anyone noticed anything I may have missed, and if not, can anyone from GR comment on this?

Just out of curiosity, what exactly are the implications under the OGL of such an error (if indeed it is an error and I'm not just missing something)?

Slightly off-topic... I'm playing a shaman right now with this book. I lurve it. Great book.

Just checked my copy and it's not on the title page where GR usually places it. When in doubt, however, I would just go by what the OGL states: "...the game mechanic and includes the methods, procedures, processes, and routines to the extent such content does not embody the Product Identity..." etc. etc.

It is odd, since the company commonly gives whole chapters as open content (very generous, by the way!). If no one responds here officially, I suggest going straight to their customer service email addy. I received a response within 24 hours. And if you do go that route, kindly restate what you learn here for other interested persons!

Umm, is the d20 license info on page 2 missing a portion? I'm not one to look that over much so I don't know what should be there, but everythign appears to be right there on page 2.

There is no designation of OGC there; when that appears on the same page as the OGL, as it does in many publishers' books, it is usually BEFORE the license, and clearly labeled as such. It's not part of the actual OGL, it's a seperate bit of text you have to include. As someone else points out, GR usually includes it on the title page, but in this case it simply isn't there.

The only part of the OGL itself that varies from book to book is section 15.

It's all good.

According to the divine Nikchick on the GR boards, "All of Shaman's Handbook is Open Content." I noticed that particular omission a couple of years ago, and asked them about it. Like just about everything GR does, all the text is OGC.

-And Joe dives back into the work, hoping none of the people he owes words to noticed him slacking...-

Probably all text is open content as opposed to graphics and Green Ronin's own PI like logos.
