[SNIP] I'm not certain how to read this-- For example, I can't find any page by page note of OGC content, but does the section on elemental mastery (pages 17-25) count as OGC? If not, do the tables of project element etc, count as OGC, but not the descriptive text?
There was recently a discussion about Mongoose's OGC declaration. Mongoose Matt (as his Message Board handle generally goes) indicated that I summed it up nicely so I'll repeat my earlier message. For the record, I *am* using Elementalism as well. >>>>>>>>>Begin Repost My method for Mongoose material is to post what I want to use verbatum, for my co-designers; We go over it, re-balancing it for our setting if required, and then strip out all text until we have just the rules (I'm currently doing this with Battle Magic, and Demonology is next on our list, followed by Primal Elementalism and the Shadow Magic expansions from Illusionism). Then we write our own text. I'm of the opinion that this is what Mongoose wants in the end; Use the rules, but explain it yourself. Atleast, that's how their OGL declaration reads to me. >>>>>>>>>End Repost The Reply came back from Matt: >>>>>Begin Repost Correct - this is the same principle we take when using other people's OGC in our more heavy weight books. The final material usually ends up being better for it. . . >>>>>End Repost If anything, the OGC Declaration in Elementalism is suffering from transition-stress; They had been doing it one way but were in the middle of switching to another way. Hope that helps. ~Ol' Ben _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
