  1. I converted the SRD to markdown. Legend's SRD has been abandoned by the publisher, I know, but it's here. https://github.com/nerun/Legend-SRD
  2. I submitted a PR #2 that divides the document into chapters, but without revising its content and formatting.
  3. Yup, it's there: https://publicrecords.copyright.gov/detailed-record/35444491 I want to say, in the Copyright Office.
  4. New answer: yes, logo is still valid:
  5. Matthew Sprange gave me this answer. He forgot to reply about the compatibility logo though.
  6. Hi there, I downloaded this compatible logo and this "license" (authorization) to use the logo from Mongoose years ago, but i can't find this in their site anymore. Anyone knows if this is still valid? Anyone can still use this logo for free and without authorization? Legend Compatible Logo.txt
  7. I was reading the official OpenQuest SRD page and it's moved out of the OGL and is now Creative Commons CC-BY. I'm not surprised because of crisis Wizards vs. OGL naturally. As a lawyer with interest in PI and copyright i have some doubts. I just want you to confirm what I think I know. As I understand ideas, systems, rules, methods, procedures are not protected by copyright: United States Code, Title 17, Chapter 1, §102. Subject matter of copyright: in general. Flyer n. 108, April, 2016. Games. U.S. Copyright Office. Circular n. 33, March, 2021. Works not protected by copyright. U.S. Copyright Office. "Copyright protects only the particular manner of an author’s expression in literary, artistic, or musical form. " (FLYER 108). So I imagine that D101 Games changed all the descriptive literary text that were a direct copy of other SRDs, in order to get rid of them. Notably Modern SRD, SRD 3.5 and Legend SRD (OpenQuest SRD v1.01). Swords & Wizardry did something similar. Since they have used just SRD 3.5 was easy to move to SRD 5.1 released under CC-BY 4.0. Essentially a "rebase". OpenQuest did something like a rebase when moved out of Mongoose's RuneQuest SRD 2006, since it's become illegal when they lost the right to use "RuneQuest" TM, then adopted Mongoose's Legend SRD. From Chaosium FAQ: Q: Can I rely on the Mongoose RQ SRD to publish material? A: No. Mongoose’s license for RuneQuest was terminated in April 2011. At that point, Mongoose lost all rights to continue using the RuneQuest trademark, or to create and publish material derivative from the previous copywritten material, or to issue any sublicenses based on that agreement. Since Mongoose no longer had any rights to RuneQuest, it has no ability to issue a third-party license to that material (which is all an OGL is). So this is my question. Is this what happened? Is my analysis right?
  8. With the new BRP:UGE released under ORC License, what happens to BRP OGL? BRP OGL was just 23 pages, never liked that. And it was very restrictive. I always thought it was a catch to avoid competition.
  9. Seven changes in the new edition: https://www.chaosium.com/blogbasic-roleplaying-universal-game-engine7-changes-in-the-new-edition/
  10. About APP and CHA, please read 1.1 in charter: Uses the following Characteristics. They may, however, use other names... So one can name CHA as APP, no problems. About Wound Levels vs. HP: minimum compatibility is needed. If it becomes too open, logo lost sense. About MP... Well I just forgot about it.
  11. To be honest with you all, I don't know why I resurrected this idea. It didn't work in 2008, it wouldn't work now. Although it's a good idea. The only unified logo that really worked was the Wizards d20 System. Maybe it sounded like a good idea to me, and I got excited designing logos. That's it. But I know it will never be adopted. Companies have no reason to do so. About logo size/text you are right.
  12. UPDATED to version 1.6: added drop lowest dice and gaussian distribution for a drop lowest roll!
  13. I didn't know Delta Green, thank you! I have fixed "SIZ" issue in 3rd Draft.
