islestrike wrote:Just to fill in a little more info since Aneoth is not the only person on this forum to have asked. OSRIC allows people to write adventures that are fully AD&D compatible. Whereas they would normally have to be extremely careful each and everytime not to reference anything written in the AD&D PH, DMG, and MM and thus be open to legal action, they can now work from the OSRIC SRD instead.The basis for this is that game rules cannot be copyrighted, only their artistic presentation and of course the name of the game itself (AD&D).Similarly then OSRIC is a name or mark that writers and publishers can slap on the cover of their modules to denote them as being compatible with OSRIC, thus alerting you the buyer that the module is compatible with AD&D with out them directly saying so. Cheers!

dcas wrote:Accidental Death and DismembermentYou know, the AD&D trademark has actually lapsed . . . so wouldn't it be cool to create an OSRIC knockoff called Accidental Death & Dismemberment, so that products could be called "AD&D compatible"?
