Green Ronin will not be signing the GSL
<t>Per Chris Pramas, President of Green Ronin:<br/> We do not, however, feel that this license treats third party publishers as valued partners. Under its terms WotC could frivolously sue a signatory for supposed violations of the GSL, lose the actual court case, and still ruin the winning company b...

<t>Thanks for the responses, Richard, serleran, bighara, Telhawk, Bowbe, Steve, and everyone else.<br/> <br/> The genesis of my question is from this post, specifically "Pathfinder has a pretty good reputation and Im thinking since 4E has been pretty well received it might have been wiser for them t...

Wouldn't Troll Lord make more money by dropping SIEGE?
<t>"Why doesn't third party provider switch to supporting 4E? Won't they make more money than supporting their current OGL system?"<br/> <br/> That's one of the biggest arguments 4E advocates ask about Green Ronin, Kenzer, Paizo, and Troll Lords. It's a good question. Isn't making money -- a lot of ...

I have only had 4 players really take this aspect of the rules seriously, and the most "character abilities" any of them have earned is 3.
Have them build their PCs in-game instead of through lists like in 3.x. I understand.

3.x to C&C
<t>Well, here's a hoot. I'm planning to run a C&C one-shot for my players who are currently playing 3.x in my Eberron game. I was toying with the idea of recreating their current PCs in C&C. <br/> <br/> Then it dawned on me why should I. The SEIGE mechanism is so damned flexible that all I'd...

Removing character level from SIEGE
<t>In short, the process of the attribute check involves the player rolling a d20 and adding the characters level and the appropriate attribute modifier. That total number must be equal to or greater than the challenge class, as determined by the Castle Keeper.<br/> <br/> <br/> --C&C Quick Start...
