[QUOTE="jaldaen, post: 1129279, member: 214"] Orcus, What do you think of closing rules as Monte does in AU in particular the new death's door rules and specific spell templates (though not the concept)? I was wondering because I'm designing a campaign setting that introduces a number of new rules... what are the pros and cons of such a choice? What are the boundaries? Are there specific rules that you can and cannot claim as closed? I used to think SRD derivaitive work had to be OGC, but with Monte's new Death Door's rules being closed I'm now wondering if my interpretation of "enhancement over the prior art" was wrong... (maybe you should put out an overview of the OGL like you did the changes to the d20 license ;-) I know one Con to closing is that I can't use Monte's death's door or specific spell template rules... but I know there is a good reason not too... I just can't think of one (mainly because IANAL ;-) Thanks, Joseph Miller PS: I just what to thank you for your thoughtful feedback... almost everything you have written since I entered this field (almost three years ago) has been both thoughtful and informative and I know that I have learned a great deal from your posts here and on the OGL list...
