Re: Licensing works based on Basic Fantasy RPG

Just a small matter, but I noticed the words "all rights reserved" in part 2.

I'm not a lawyer, but cc has used the terminology "some rights reserved" when describing the creative commons licenses.

Re: Licensing works based on Basic Fantasy RPG

This is a very clear outline of the three options. Thanks!

As long as they don't say I have to pull the OGL 1.0a materials down, they stay up. Since D&D Beyond isn't the official account of Wizards, they really haven't said anything yet.
Good to hear! :D

bfrpg is my "go to" :)

Re: A Manifesto of Sorts, which is a Plan as well

Except the fact it doesn't clarify what publishing is. It's an interesting point, however they thankfully use the text "any content previously published under that version....remains licensed" Whereas authorization is in fact an ambiguous term that Wotc seemed to have made up, terms like ...

Re: A Manifesto of Sorts, which is a Plan as well

consent is being sought for all contributors, any that can't be reached, or who decline the license change will have their contributions removed from the downloads I believe. Solo already said otherwise: The alternative is to assume that they agreed to release their materials under a license I chos...

Re: A Manifesto of Sorts, which is a Plan as well

except they have explicitly put in the latest one that they CAN revoke it (legally they probably can't) To be clear, I am not suggesting using 1.2. and I am not suggesting using 1.0a for new products. Please correct me if you think I'm wrong. The leaked 1.1 claimed to de-authorized 1.0a. Thus began...

Re: A Manifesto of Sorts, which is a Plan as well

I'm not sure that that's a great idea, and I don't know that the pretend changes Hasbro have made are going to make it any safer, the decision is Solo's but personally I'd be surprised if he changed his mind If they put it in writing that 1.0a can never be revoked, and that only new material cannot...

Re: A Manifesto of Sorts, which is a Plan as well

By the way, I'm sorry I didn't suggest this before (maybe someone else did), but a plagairism checker would possibly be an idea to make this job easier (something like turnitin, but for comparing two documents).

But the progress you all have made is astonishing

Re: A Manifesto of Sorts, which is a Plan as well

Thanks Demetrius! Saved me reading it. And, nope. I understand the position, but I hope that we can at least keep the old stuff on the download page. (Especially thinking about supplements where maybe the author has left). This quote would seem to protect such products in perpetuity: It does not me...

Big random encounter table (two pages)

This two page random encounter table has all the monsters from the core rules (I think). Streamlined so that it takes only two pages. Instructions: Roll hit dice first (use your imagination, appropriate for the level), or choose hit dice. Then, roll roll for a row based on the hit dice (for example,...
