Reading legal stuff like that is like reading some ancient book full of curses. If you do that and that at that place a demon in black cloths with a suitcase will take your money etc...

You've got to put a legal license in a not-for-profit mod for a not-for-profit game?

Damn, not again... I'm bored of these guys who always speak about licences in a free modding forums =).

In this case it's ok anyway. I saw a lot of guys writing *** in their Warhammer world conversions in other games modding and it was fine. Just something like "this and that and everything goes to ... it's their trademark and I won't have any profit from it..." Even in WH universe, where everything is commercial, from table miniatures to computer games.

But don't speak about dnd and faerun please =). Because dnd modding in games like NWN is ENCOURAGED, and I doubt you should pay anything when you start a DnD table game in one of DnD universes, right? It was designed for the masses.
Also there's a lot of fan fiction literature in DnD worlds. Free.

And also it's a non-profit (TOTALLY!) mod for a freeware game. So there's no problems at all.

Also if a demon in a black clothes ever comes to me, we'll have a nice dnd table game together.

Ah, I see, you're LN. I'm CG, that's the reason I'm feeling so safe about it =).
Also Toady knows about this thread, and if he asks me to deal with this stuf I'll figure all this out or delete the mod (more probably), so it's not a problem. But I don't see any real conflict here.

P.S. I've never heard about any problem in CIV4 modding forums, where they make SMAC, Warhammer and even LOTR conversions. There're even guys from legal corresponding companies which make suggestions and comments without any offence.

I was just trying to let people know, I didn't mean to sound threatening/doomsaying, etc...

WotC HAS been pretty good about this stuff though (unlike TSR was back in the early/mid '90s)

So I can put away the ancient book of curses? Hmm maybe we should add one of those demons as a easteregg :)

Just chill.
=)

LN, are you really LN in all of your games? I've always preferred chaotic good or chaotic neutral. Well, neutral good sometimes, but it's rare =).

No, actually in my last game I played a chaotic neutral turned chaotic evil rogue with several assassin levels. He sucked ass, he couldn't deal damage if his life depended on it, as it did several times. His main ability was to pick locks and disarm MOST of the traps, and almost die repeatedly when he failed to disarm or detect them. He also almost got his brain sucked out by a hungry illithid.
Then the DM killed off the game due to lack of time. Oh well.

When I was playing Baldur's Gate, the most common alignment I would pick was completely Neutral.  When you think about it, it's the only 'true' alignment, since all other paths hold some of its opposite.  Only pure neutrality is whole and untainted.


I still played like I was neutral good or something, though.  I couldn't resist helping everyone.

That's the problem of true neutrality. I can imagine a person with tendency to good or bad things, but it's really hard (almost impossible) to feel myself like a man who thinks about balance/neutrality ONLY (there're always some personal matters for me, even in the game).

I play chaotic rogues quite often, but I wasn't evil for a while (last time I was evil I had to be a central-eyeless beholder-mage which harrasses the adventuring party. Our master had forced me to read the "I, Tyrant" book before he allowed me to take that role).

Neutral characters are often not concerned with a "Balance" between good and evil, they're just not real committed to fighting for any change. A lot of developers feel that 90% of the world is neutral, and everything else is the exception. Of course, in especially heroic or villainous worlds, that might change.

As for the mod, though--I'm having some issues. On a clean install, the game will still sometimes crash when I start (but not load) a game. And weirder still, I enable graphics, and it turns all my animals into blank squares, acting like I have the images for them even though I don't.

I don't know,  I think the magic ones/rare are the best, because we have enough critters from vanilla =).

Also I'm waiting for the next release - it seems to be unique and will change a lot.

LN - you are an idiot if you think that WotC can be bothered by stuff like this. Look around the internet, there are countless mods made for countless games using some datas from fantasy game worlds, and none of those modders had any problem so far. Now ask yourself why and calm down.
