Comments on: 3rd Era http://www.chrispramas.com/2008/12/10/3rd-era/ The Furious Scribblings of Chris Pramas Sun, 28 Dec 2008 20:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.10 By: Felipe Sentelhas http://www.chrispramas.com/2008/12/10/3rd-era/#comment-232 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 20:49:00 +0000 http://chrispramas.com/?p=83#comment-232 I know this is a old post, but I think a remark is interesting for the issue at hand. It’s been decided that d20 is no more for many groups that use and will continue to use and improve things in the OGL based system rules.
But what problems does it bring? For the is the deadlock of calling the whole SRD as “d20 system” and now that the association between the little logo and name (that are proprietary) and the system (that’s OGL) is made, we’ve to think in damage control. Many publishers used the system for interesting approaches, but they are now forbidden to use the system name.
There’s a even more deep discussion that involving this that is the enforcing of the license as well, guaranteeing that the new modifications of the system also has a SRD. Here is a point specific to you: when some of the OGL releases of the Green Ronin identified as OGC will see the light of a SRD? But I digress.
The point is, wouldn’t be interesting to present a new (free) universal logo or emblem that identifies the systems that are published and take advantage of the OGL system? Reeducating them to a new set of visual identities, but this time a more accurate and fair one? I don’t know, maybe even giving the now nameless SRD system a new name.
Thanks,
