From what I understand, they are not renewing copyrights for those that made for earlier d20. They are rather anti-open with the release of 4e (those that make 4e material must revoke their d20 privilege or something like that). But with 4e, the toy company seems to be successful. So, for campaigns out of print, we can only and will only remain underground. For this, I thought of doing an alternative campaign, something that maybe I rename stuff, like instead of Alphatia, have El Fatia, etc. Anyhow, I thought of working on a world that is based on the four elements, and create an exotic world full of mysterious alternative fantasy. Then after the Great War or some cataclysmic event, the four elements sail the cosmos. Air takes off ala SpellJammer like, others find other means. They all settle on other planets and realms, where two mortal enemies settle on one planet, a world primitive in magic, that contain wealth of arcane-magical and techno-magical power that has once disappeared. I could use Pathfinder ruleset as a modern supported system. - Joaquin Menchaca ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2010 20:49:47 -0700 From: Joaquin Menchaca Subject: SF BAY AREA Hey. I moved back from Korea. I will be here another 6 months, and maybe take off to Hong Kong then France. I have the RPG bug, and bubble-gum RPG like Warcraft doesn't cut it for me. So if anyone in Bay Area wants to hook up, chat at cafe, maybe even start a game, let me know. I am in San Francisco, California. If I run games, I use DnD 3.5e using PathFinder's system. I just adapt things to that. I might get into other systems if people can teach me them, willing to be a player in variety of systems. - Joaquin Menchaca ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 20 Jun 2010 to 3 Jul 2010 (#2010-10) **************************************************************
