"When it comes to others using the open content, they can use the citations similarly in their own work, because they are a point of fact: The feat "such and such" can be found on page xxx of "so and so" by WotC." That is exactly what WotC does not want you to do (presuming you are talking about books other than PHB, DMG or MM). >> I'm just examining the principles at work. Anyway, I wasn't aware that there were any special rules for the PHB, DMG and MM, just that those books contributed most to the SRD. From my understanding, the SRD is open; the PHB and so on are just as closed as Tome and Blood, or anything else. << "I'm not so much looking for a loophole as thinking that it must be possible, somehow, and trying to figure out how." If you arent looking for a loophole then why bother with it? >> I bother with a lot of things. I thought that was the point of all this - to figure out what is legit and what ain't. << There may be a way around it, I dont know. I believe there is a contribution problem even if you put the reference "outside" of your OGC designation, because "using" material derived from the SRD makes that content OCG even if you dont designate it as such. But bottom line is WotC doesnt want you doing it. Pushing may just cause WotC to scrap the project. Lets not piss in the pool. Clark >> I hope you don't see any coloured water floating around me. I'm trying to get my brain around this and you'd be overreacting to assume I was out to change the rules or force an issue.
