I am not sure this is the case: Here is OGC (hypothetical):"Mind Flayers resemble exposed, oversized human brains which scurry about on eight segmented limbs. The front of the brain contains a lamprey-like mouth surrounded by tentacles." Now, a thousand artists can draw a thousand pictures based on that, and declare each *individual* picture to be closed content. What cannot be done is prevent any other artist from drawingf a similair picture based on that idea. There will be no 'character copyright' on this concept of the 'Mind Flayer'. _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
