A very cool idea!<br /><br />Yes, it sounds pretty different to what I'm working on here, though.<br /><br />The OGL can be used to allow content to be reused for any purposes, including commercial, too, by the way.

We are doing our work via a private project management platform. Where we overlap is the idea of having a document that others can edit to fit their own needs. Our aspirations are less B/X specific and perhaps a bit more grand but we shall see. <br /><br />The thing we would really like to see is "plug and print" usability with a database of alternative rules sections.<br /><br />As for Creative Commons, for our project we want anyone to be able to use our platform in any way they see fit, even to create commercial content.

That's one of the next big things to do. (Obviously excluding anything marked as an optional rule, though. Those are intentionally departures from pure B/X, hence marked as optional.)<br /><br />The text is a pure LL / LotFP / my writing mash-up, so far.<br /><br />Peter, if you have a minute, please feel free to make comments on the doc noting any discrepancies that stand out to you.Gavin Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362875699031245377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-67500265169038084592017-06-18T21:05:55.480+02:002017-06-18T21:05:55.480+02:00Is your stuff posted anywhere Donovan?

I've tried the same thing before and "lost steam" so I am really curious to see what people are doing that might get me a "tiny B/X reference" for the table.<br /><br />Gavin, a brief read of what you currently have shows numerous areas that are not B/X but might be LL or LotFP or your own house rules. You'll need to carefully weed through this for sure, I know how easy it is to imagine that something you've been doing for 30+ years is B/X but when you read the books it's actually not... :-)Peter Fröhlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688076015831464616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-13377177990332718232017-06-18T20:37:07.461+02:002017-06-18T20:37:07.461+02:00Oh that's interesting!
