Like I said last post, I've got an "open game" addition to the D20 rules that's ready to hit the proverbial bazaar as soon as the D20STL and the OGL are OK'd. Now, since I'm not a lawyer, and ogf-d20-l has been quiet, I might as well post the "legal" part of the work to be picked at by "my fellow developers." Remember, I'm not doing this for money, I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not an experienced game designer--so I can't afford to register a trademark, hire a lawyer to pour over my text, or the like. (Besides, I think this might be a decnent test case... and if nothing else, it's more relevant than an MS vs. Linux debate.) ******************* The Craft of the Mind, version 0.1 Released August 3, 2000 This file contains material based on the D20 system. The D20 system and the D20 System logo are trademarks owned by Wizards of the Coast and used under the terms of the D20 Trademark License. The Craft of the Mind is a "Psionics" system based heavily on the rules in the Dungeons and Dragons' Players Handbook, and intended for use with it.
