Definitions: "Interactive Game": means a piece of computer gaming software that is designed to accept inputs from human players or their agents, and use rules to resolve the success or failure of those inputs, and return some indication of the results of those inputs to the users. -------- So since the example I gave (http://mwtools.thyle.net/d_gen.html) is in no way a game and in no way evaluates success or failure, under one reading of the D20 Usage Guide (perhaps not the strictest, the example I gave would be compliant? -------- It has also been publicly stated by WotC's representive(s) that if someone were to find a way to create computer programs and/or games, that WotC would change the d20 STL/Guide to prohibit them. This is because they've already sold the rights for computer products utilizing the DnD brand to other companies. ------- Or do you think that it's WoTC's intention (based on the quote above) to limit anything even remotely similar to something like Master Tools? And as such the example (especially if the person were attempting to make money) would, if not strictly illegal under the current wording, certainly be illegal once WoTC got around to changing the wording?

The OGL how'ever is technically "medium" blind, and it is theoretically possible to do computer programs with the OGL -- so long as you can find a way of complying with it's terms. -- Mike _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
