[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1823080, member: 725"] I have, the problem is that none of these do exactly what i want them to do. You could effectively make a D20 product that has nothing to do with gaming. I'm trying to make some sort of license that will allow you to designate a product as "20Sided-Fantasy" and it will be compatible with the basic SRD(3.5), "20Sided-Modern" will be compatible the Modern SRD, etc. The problem with this is that it's not so much about protecting my IP, but rather protecting the gamer so they don't get material that's incompatible for their game, this is very difficult. On one hand you want to give the gamer as much assurance that the product that bears the "20Sided-Fantasy" stamp really is compatible with "20Sided-Fantasy", on theother you don't want the publisher to jump through hoops, both need to be perfectly balanced and that is prooving to be dificult. That was also a bit of a strange situation, i decided that it wasn't the case, but if WotC (or one of the authors disagrees) i'll remove them (not because i agree, but as a courtesy). I figured that a company generally can't claim IP on the name of their personel. It's an electronic document, so if it needs to be changed i can do that within a few minutes (if i am at home).
