They probably had someone go through every piece of art counting males and females and ones that might be switched to help the female numbers a bit.

Quote from: WERDNA on May 09, 2024, 06:01:02 PMWas Perun not mentioned in BoF because he's East Slavic? If so I figured that would be true of Chors as well. They are mentioned together in the same sources after all.

Yeah, Perun was not really worshipped in Poland, though he might have been in the borderlands with the lands of the Rus.

Sure! The changes would just be any specific content released under OGL but not CC.

Oh I see. Insult anyone who thinks this is absolutely fucking stupid given the fact it's a male warrior and always has been. Can WotC do anything except piss off all the people who actually play D&D and aren't merely using it to pander to Marxist sycophants?

It's yet more of this tiresome "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!" bullshit they pull with gender and race swaps.

It's a trap, and enough people fall for it to make it worthwhile for them to pull it.

Hard to run out of resources or space when using virtual terrain and miniatures.

Greetings!

Yeah, Greentongue! Virtual Tabletops are great for computer games. That is something I really like about computer games. Everything is on the computer! No terrain to build or paint; space for the tabletop battlefield is never an issue; space for storage of terrain and miniatures is likewise never a concern. Then, of course, there are also no miniatures that you have to paint and do up all nice for the battle. Computer games have many advantages for certain!

Bolt Action, however, like many other historical wargames, is a physical game, played out on an actual tabletop. Painting miniatures, creating and painting terrain, and marching armies across the miniature battlefield is a visual and tactile enjoyment though that a computer game just cannot match!

Different mediums, if you will. *Laughing*

Semper Fidelis,

Quote from: RPGPundit on May 08, 2024, 04:33:26 PMSo the more accurate title for this thread would be "D&D Editions Still Haven't Gone Creative Commons"

Sure. Not yet. But, soon. Which, by the way, was Baptism of Fire published under one of the licenses, or did you manage to avoid that burden? I hadn't heard anything from you (though may have missed it) what your decision was moving forward.

With my books, I leave the ultimate decision up to the publishers. In this case, the publisher put it under the OGL. Personally, I think that a non-clone OSR game doesn't really need to be under any license.

Especially because you don't reuse any wording from the SRD. At least what I've ever seen.

I think it's the stance more than the outfit that makes the figure look unfeminine. The stance is what I judged most for why I interpreted the original image as a man. I think posed differently, even in the same armor/clothing, no one would have commented. Here's a similarly-dressed mini:

There have been lots of minis in women fighters in armor. Especially since there's little detail in the face possible, the two main ways to signal being a woman are (1) a prominent bust, and (2) the pose/stance.

Short answer, no. Section 2 of the OGL states:

Quote2. The License: This License applies to any Open Game Content that contains a notice indicating that the Open Game Content may only be Used under and in terms of this License. You must affix such a notice to any Open Game Content that you Use. No terms may be added to or subtracted from this License except as described by the License itself. No other terms or conditions may be applied to any Open Game Content distributed using this License.

Not sure that clause means what you think it means. I do think you can republish your own copyrighted content under the CC even if it was previously published under the OGL. It will still be open content under the OGL though. I mean, this is literally what WOTC just did.
