But would such rules MUST be declared OGC, Ryan? A lot of people here believed the OGL (if applied to a Body of Work or Product) forces game designer to declare any and all rules mechanics, regardless of source, to be Open Game Content. If that is the case, where in the Product Identity definition would give the game designer the protection to declare original rules mechanics as closed content?? _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
