This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ubiquity, open?

Anyone know if the Ubiquity system is OGL/open/whatever? I know it's used in HEX and that Desolation fantasy rpg and I believe each is published b a separate company. (At least iirc.)
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

I don't know what the conditions of the license are, but Ubiquity was licensed for Desolation.

And here's another company with a license:

Quote9th October 2008 - TAG Secures Ubiquity License

                                                      Triple Ace Games (TAG) and Exile Game Studio (EGS) are pleased to announce that TAG's                             popular Daring Tales of Adventure line of pulp roleplaying game adventures are to be converted                             to EGS's widely-acclaimed Ubiquity Roleplaying System under a licensing agreement.                        
                                                      TAG's creative director and author of the Daring Tales line, Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams says,                             "As a fan of the Ubiquity system and Hollow Earth Expedition RPG, it's a great privilege to be working                             with Jeff Combos and the team at Exile Game Studio on this venture. I've been freelancing for a decade,                             but it's always a buzz to be able to work on one of your favourite systems. Our adventures are fast-paced,                             two-fisted tales designed to mimic the style and feel of the Saturday morning serials, so they're a great                             match for the Ubiquity system."                        
                                                      Robin Elliott, Production Director of TAG says "I am very excited by this oportunity to make our                             pulp adventures available to a whole new audience. We hope that the fans of the Ubiquity system enjoy                             these action tales as much as we have enjoyed creating them!"                        
                                                      "The Daring Tales perfectly capture the pulp vibe we imbued into Hollow Earth Expedition RPG,                             and it's great to be working with a company who understands the spirit of the genre," says Jeff Combos,                             President of Exile Games.                        
                                                      Four adventures will be bundled together in each set, with one set being released each quarter.                             The first release, containing Daring Tales #1-#4, will be released in January 2009 as a PDF product.
He's like fire, and ice, and rage. He's like the night and the storm and the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe - The Family Of Blood.
