I wouldn’t be 100% about a couple of those terms.

I’d check with Rebellion Software (Owners of 2000AD from which Slaine derives) as well or first. Since they licensed out the IP and have a hell of a lot more legal clout than any RPG company you’ll need to watch your step. They’re nice, reasonable guys though.

On some of the other terms on the PI list, I am very clear that they are unique to the Slaine comic and IP. The ones I listed, however, except for spelling variations that are not present in the dictionary I use (but that I have seen used in other sources), I am entirely confident that they derive from public domain sources.

 

If anything, the one doubt I have is the following:

They are claiming "Slaine" as IP. The stats of the character are OGC. I go ahead and reuse those exact stats in my product for an NPC. Can I call that NPC Slaine? The name derives from public domain, but is the combination of the name and the stats (the specific interpretation of the character Slaine as far as the rules of the RPG go) legal within the parameters of the OGL?
