This is where you can ask any questions of the staff and project organisers, concerning anything to do with the operation of the project or forums.
Simply make a new thread for your question and we'll get back to you. The most common questions will be archived here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q - Is what you're doing legal?
A - Yes, so long as we do the following: -
1. Declare everything in the rules and main builds as Open Content. This means that characters we name and rules we make up could potentially be used by WotC or another company and sold for profit...but on the bright side, it also means that we could too (which I didn't realise)
2. Don't mention anything trademarked, or mention in the book any of the Builds utilising copyrights material (such as the Naruto one, etc).
3. Don't rip things from not open content. However this is an area in which you can get away with some things still. Afterall, the game features have to work in conjunction with other rules and there's only so many ways that can be accomplished. This gives us some wriggle room, but we won't abuse this...that would be downright bastardly of us.
4. Include a full copy of the OGL in the core books (that'll be our Player's handbook (including the light version), the DM's guide and the Monster Manual. The rest is classed as homebrew content and is accepted in the gaming community (the internet's full of them already, afterall).
