Why is 2nd not an OGL system??

Because WotC has not released it under the OGL.....


I don't wanna have to convert my whole world to 3rd or 3.5.  There  are
some things I don't like in that system.....

Then check out OSRIC!!!!!

http://knights-n-knaves.com/osric/index.html

It is a shame that when I tried to download OSRIC a pop up window attempted to download "EXP/Agent.B" onto my computer.

I would have recommended this system to the people I know who dislike 3e/3.5e, but I'm not prepared to help spread viruses so I'll keep quite about it until Knights and Knaves dump downloadcounter.com.

I can't find any contact details for Knights and Knaves or Stuart Marshall. Can anyone get in touch with them and ask them to disable the OSRIC download link until they fix the problem? I think that Knights and Knaves also need to publish an appology along with instructions on how to remove EXP/Agent.B from your computer.

I don't know why they even use downloadcounter.com as the PDF itself is on their own website. Here is the direct URL for anyone who wants to check out OSRIC without getting hacked by downloadcounter.com:

(I'm not blaming Stuart Marshall for this, as I had a similar problem back when I used Bravenet for hosting. Bravenet seemed happy to allow their advertisers to attempt to hack all of my visitors. I tried to get them to ban the problem advertisers, but they failed to respond to my support requests. I now refuse to put any external content on my website. I'm sure this is ignorance on the part of Knights and Knaves rather than an attempt by them to hack role playing fans.)
