[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 7660776, member: 907"] Yeah, TSR claimed that Dangerous Journeys violated their copyright in [URL="http://www.icculus.org/~msphil/mythus/misc/tsr.txt"]a few hundred instances[/URL]. Some examples: [sblock](4) The concept of adjusting a character's abilities corresponding to its age found in MYTHUS (pages 104-105) is derived from the similar concept in the AD&D 1st ed. DMG (page 13). (7) The MYTHUS concept of character vocations in MYTHUS (pages 13 and 70-71) is derived from the character class concept in the AD&D 1st ed. PHB (pages 18-33); the AD&D 1st ed. DMG (pages 16-21); and the AD&D UA (pages 12-25 and 74-75). (17) The K/S Area of Buffoonery in MYTHUS (pages 179-182) is derived from the Jester character class in TSR's DRAGON Magazine, issue #60 (pages 45-49); TSR's DRAGON Magazine, issue #65 (page 9); and TSR's DRAGON Magazine, issue #67 (page 61). (32) The method used in MYTHUS (page 9) of resolving game action by generating random numbers on a linear probability scale is derived from a similar method used in the AD&D game system in the AD&D 1st ed. DMG (pages 9-10). (36) The "First Aid" skill in MYTHUS (pages 28 and 165) is derived from the AD&D "Cure Light Wounds" spell in the AD&D 1st ed. PHB (page 43) and the AD&D OA (page 57). (48) The races of other-world elves called the Elves, Fay and Faeries, from the fantasy world known as Phaeree in MYTHUS (pages 332- 333), are derived from a race of other-world elves called the "Pharisees" in the AD&D QUEEN OF THE SPIDERS game module (pages 107-108) and the AD&D QUEEN OF THE DEMONWEB PITS game module (pages 13-14). (49) The game turns mechanic in MYTHUS (pages 20 and 130-131) are derived from the game turns mechanics in AD&D 1st ed. PHB (page 39) and the AD&D 1st ed. DMG (page 38). (89) The Armor, Physical Cantrip in MYTHUS (page 278) and MYTHUS MAGICK (page 34) is derived from the Armor Spell in the AD&D UA (pages 51-52). (114) The Circe's Transformation Spell in MYTHUS MAGICK (page 56) is derived from the Polymorph Other Spell in the AD&D 1st ed. PHB (page 78) and the AD&D OA (page 86).[/sblock] And so on, and so on.
