#TTRPG – Postmortem Studios Re-Licensing Under CC

We are relicensing all material under the Creative Commons. Details can be found in the PDF above.

Basically, if you check the old Section 15 in any and all OGL products produced by Postmortem Studios, anything we provided as open content is now available under the CC license.

We cannot release other companies’ or individuals’ material (such as OpenD6 etc.) in the same way, but it is our understanding that Section 13 of the original OGL allows sublicenses to continue even after the termination of the original OGL license. Nonetheless, we hope other designers and companies will follow suit and shift to CC licensing.

The only way in which Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro could regain the confidence of the TTRPG community at this point, would be to revise the 1.0a Open Gaming License to include the word ‘Irrevocable’, and even in the best case scenario, we do not anticipate this happening.

Please sign the PETITION against the OGL 1.1 changes, and SIGN the open letter.

RATS!

Posted by grimachu on

AFTER you’ve dumped money into Machinations of the Space Princess you could do worse than give your spare change to this project…

A group of Israeli writers and artists are working on a cheeky new game called RATS! They are presently running an IndieGoGo campaign (IGG is like Kickstarter, only for non-Americans) to support our game. The head writer is Uri, whom you might remember from the work he’s done for Wizards of the Coast, Paizo Publishing and Mongoose Publishing.

RATS! is about the most amazing thing the media is not telling you about – the great rat rebellion known as the “grand awakening”. No, you’re not playing a fearless investigator uncovering a nefarious plot against mankind. You’re a rat, yes a rat, scheming for humanity’s downfall from the sewers. In addition to a demented setting, RATS! also boasts innovative game mechanics (e.g. mutations and mutilations damage/recovery) and the pack campaign, in which you take on the role of an entire pack instead of a single ratty hero.
