I look forward to the others in the series & would be honored to have my own OGC re-used in this way.I know you support the idea of citing the sources of OGC from your <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1583332&postcount=192" target="_blank">post </a> the d20 Bubble Burst thread. I fully support your use of releasing the Section 15 as a way of working around the OGL restrictions on using PI titles in your marketing of the book, and I was glad to see you kept some of the source attribution from Necromancer Clark Petersen's Tome of Horrors. Any chance you'll be using a similar workaround to link the monsters in the text to the OGL source in Section 15, along the lines of 2WS Steve Petersen's example or his other suggestions for improving the ease of citation?This could be an important opportunity for you to market your book as not just a meta-manual for DMs but also a standard reference work for creators who want an index of monsters by ecology that makes it easy for them to not only drop the monsters into their adventure, but also accurately compose their own Section 15.You could also print an informal request or "legal-light" limited license asking/allowing creators to use your PI title to credit "Original source for this monster was X by author Y, converted to 3.5 by [y'all] and published in [your book] available from [your website] or at better stores near you!" in their text.</blockquote>
