[QUOTE="HalWhitewyrm, post: 2474449, member: 4046"] Boy, Phil, you don't make it an easy one! I've been thinking about the same issue, though in regards to True20. There is so much cool stuff there, and I want to jump in and start converting stuff and producing new material, but with GR holding off on the license for True20 logo and official compatibility I wonder, should I wait or release something "compatible with the game of romantic fantasy" or "compatible with games that truly use one d20" or something to that effect. I know it would be legal, and we have certainly seen enough people using similar tactics, but my gut instinct is to not do it, at least not without clearing it with GR first. It's annoying in a way, the material IS OGC after all, but then this is THEIR work, and while I want to reap some benefit out of it, I certainly would not want to do it at the expense of GR's trademark (which they have already made very clear they wish to protect and shepherd to success). As a customer, I just want support material for my favorite game, but not at any cost. Would support material for SpyCraft be inappropiate? No, but it wouldn't be nice either, especially if no attempt to contact AEG has been made. At least with Spycraft there is an official 3rd-party license you can get. Me, I just gotta keep waiting and either win the True20 setting contest, be good enough that, while maybe not winning, I get royalty-free permission, or bite the bullet and negotiate a paid license. We'll see. :) [/QUOTE]
