I believe it can be done. This: "[Insert name(s) of monster(s) used in place of this bracketed text] from the Tome of Horrors Copyright 2002, Necromancer Games, Inc.;" ...acts as your s.15 entry regarding s.6. This is all you are required to include (other than the OGL and SRD entry and any other entry if you use existing OGC from another source). In addition, is it possible to require users to include information from other sections of the product based upon which section of OGC the user uses, as can be seen by s.2 of the OGL: "...No terms may be added to or subtracted from this License except as described by the License itself. No other terms or conditions may be applied to any Open Game Content distributed using this License." Are these additional terms: "[see the individual monster entry or entries for additional Section 15 information and insert that information here in place of this bracketed text when reusing]." Essentially, to distribute OGC from this product, you must add additional information from other sections of the product. The point of the above quote is to continue to provide the original author credit for his work. If it's optional, it might not be considered additional terms, but then many might not include it. If it's not optional, it might be considered additional terms, because you're required to do something outside of what the license requires in order to be able to use that OGC. << By using placeholders that refer clearly to other areas in the same product to extract information to complete the designation I think I am ok. >> Technically, if the information spread through the product is considered additional "copyright notice" information, each entry spread through the product would have to go into a derived product by virtue of s.6, even if the deriver only used one part, and not all parts. If that additional information is not considered part of the "copyright notice" then a user is not required to include it in the derivitive product, and any instuctions to require someone to add it, would violate s.2. << I want opinions on this!!! :) >> This is my non-lawyer opinion based on a general interpretation of the OGL. -- Scott, Fantages Studios: http://wind.prohosting.com/fantages/ "He was already dead, he died a year ago, the moment he touched her.
