RE: [Ogf-l] D20 license Pros & Cons

[Brad Thompson]

New game? Not unless it somehow ties into the D&D or d20 Modern core books.   The issue that most newcomers miss is that Open Gaming is not d20.   D20 Pros: Marketing tie-in with established products All of the Open Gaming Pros   D20 Cons: Creative limitations on character creation and character advancement All of the Open Gaming Cons   Open Gaming Pros: Royalty-free access to a pre-balanced and tested rule set. Some don't see this as a pro.   Open Gaming Cons: Anything you create based on that rule set must also be open. This needn't include creative content or rules devised separately from Open Content. Some don't see this as a con.   -Brad   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Roger Calver Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 4:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ogf-l] D20 license Pros & Cons D20 license in easy terms.   As in new to the idea of using ogl what are the pros and cons of the system in people views is it good to use it for a new game.   Rog
