B...No one would care about a short post, Stuart :)<br /><br />But Tome of Horrors has an additional rule about the use of its OGC. Instead of just putting in the name of the book from which the OGC is drawn, you have to provide more specific information in Section 15. It's all in the back of the book about how to do it. It's specific to Tome of Horrors b/c the book was done prior to the release of the SRD/OGL, under a specific license with WotC.Matt Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678557558458924177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296104283452210018.post-23281974055897873372011-10-09T19:31:17.124-05:002011-10-09T19:31:17.124-05:00Wait... if I just post this:
