All this copyright stuff made me think. You can not copyright a system or a
method of doing things. So you can not copyright the d20 system, no?
I can not copyright my method of playing guitar, or my method for making
money. The whole d20 thing seems weird in that respect. The game mechanic
should fall in this too no? It's like copyrighting the mechanic for rolling
two dice and moving around a board.
I know I read this somewhere recently. I think this conversation is going
back to programming and computers for some reason.
Micky Mouse is copyrighted (at least for a few more years) but the method of
drawing him or any of the Disney cartoons is impossible to copyright. So I
feel that the D20 mechanic is free game anyhow.
This game rights and left thing is totally weird.
