Anyway, I think that companies like Digital Adventures and their licensors are crucially important for this form of roleplaying and I can think of few things I'd hate more than drive them away by making this an unpleasant or impossible environemnt to do business; therefore the said development time and the continuing investement on the content production part of the platform.
Let's all be smart on this one. Thanks,

The biggest thing I liked about the changes in Fantasy Grounds II is the separation of the rules (now modules) from the ruleset. Having the ruleset separation makes it a lot easier to distribute character sheets for use in FGII without endangering the intellectual property of the game rules.
Using Ultimate license - that means anyone can play.

That said... if there is no OGL for D&D 4th ed... Could we PLEASE get to see FG shipped with SW instead?

You might have noticed that unlike Fantasy Grounds (v.1), Fantasy Grounds II has separated the d20 license altogether from the main product and only the d20 ruleset is now under the d20 license. Therefore, if there is no OGL or similar for D&D 4th edition, we'll definitely check out the possibilities - the copyright of Savage Worlds is with others than SmiteWorks...
It might be that the lack of 4ed OGL would lead to a bit different licensing of Fantasy Grounds, where people could choose which rulesets they want their Fantasy Grounds to be equipped with from the beginning. Technically, right now d20 is just a ruleset product that happens to come with every installation of Fantasy Grounds II.

I got to admitt I was more hoping for some kind of cooperation between DA and SW than a OGL version.
.. at the least as a alternativ. Maybe some kind of Bundle-deal in the FG-store.

Maybe you could think about the default bundle as a variant of the Generic ruleset (Toadwart willing) if you can't bundle a specific set of rules with the software.
Would WotC stop you continuing with the 3rd edition SRD once 4th edition D&D is out? I for one, wouldn't have a problem with the default staying as the cut-down 3rd edition SRD as I play a lot of d20 based games and find conversion easier than starting from scratch (really MUST try to get to grips with Lua).Using Ultimate license - that means anyone can play.

Once we have a decision from WOTC on 4E/OGL, we can proceed from there.Last edited by Thore_Ironrock; December 3rd, 2007 at 19:15.
