I want to create a dungeon and dragon based games. Basically, I want to take the rules and some basic aspects of the game. I have some old dungeon dragon handbook notes. I won’t be able to recreate the entire system (version 4 of dungeon dragons) but will I be breaking any license if I do that.
I figure that the concept of dungeon and dragons has been used in RPGs for decades.
And this is kind of a general license question? Are ideas such as this copyrighted?
I know some of WOTC’s stuff is part of the OGL, which means anyone can use it, that, I think, includes the d20 system, you’d have to look in the books to see what particular elements are under a private license
