[QUOTE="sigfried, post: 8909805, member: 1798"] Not especially. I composed the rules from scratch, not using language from the SRD. I'd heard rumors of this coming down the pike for the last year, and I'm just kind of prideful as a designer, so I wanted to describe the rules in a way I thought would be best and put my personal writing style into them. So 5e Rules, but Sig Trent expressions of said rules. Also, since we are not a fantasy game, we only use the portions of the rule set that WOTC says they are putting under Creative Commons. That's kind of a nice extra layer of safety for us and we'd be happy to attribute that content out of respect for the designers who put work into the rules system over the decades, even if we didn't use the text itself. Evil Genius plans on dropping use of the OGL for future publications, maintaining our rights to use the rule systems under our own expressions. We are in the ORC alliance and will likely use that license to make all our mechanics available as open content for game designers of all stripes. We are still putting our own SRD-type document together since our game is very new still. Hopefully, neither Dias Ex Machina nor Evil Genius Games have any problems from WOTC and we can both go on making cool fun games for modern action fans! [/QUOTE]
