Group by System

Hi I would be nice with a "Group by System" function on the Adventure Modules page, grouped and sorted by 13th Age, D&D 5e, Pathfinder etc. List of adventures: I'm a bit annoyed by 3rd-party content providers writing "It's a 5e adventure", which apparently is D&D 5e and not Shadowrun 5e or any other 5th edition system out there. If could be absolutely clear which system is used. One has to enter each and every module to see which system it used.

I feel your pain, as a long-time player of Hero System 5th edition. Unfortunately, the King of the Hill is D&D. Perhaps if people got into the habit of finding a common abbreviation, like Shadowrun-5. Hero System adopted "FREd", for Fifth Rules Edition".

The reason why a lot of the D&D guys are wary of saying '5E D&D' too much, is because the D&D OGL basically tells people 'Don't try brand yourself with D&D much at all, because we will hurt you'. So it means that the D&D creators feel they must use "5E" or "3.5E" or so on. It might be a thing they could easily implement where they can class modules based on the Character Sheet they were created with...

How are the blessed fields of Elysium not OGL since, you know, it's a setting from Greek mythology.

The term "Blessed Fields of Elysium" as a phrase is the reserved bit. Elysium itself is not. You might be able to say "Elysium" or "Glorified Lands of Elysium". If you use the indicated term within the context of the game, that would seem to invalidate the permissions and protections given in the OGL. I.e.: "If you want to use our stuff, we give you permission to do so as long as you abide by these rules." In the spirit of the OGL, I'd avoid using Elysium altogether. IANAL.

Scott C. said: How are the blessed fields of Elysium not OGL since, you know, it's a setting from Greek mythology. "Blessed Fields of Elysium" is not OGL, but "The Fields of Elysium" or "Elysium" or "Wondrous Plains of Elysium" or "Elysium's Blessed Plain" are all not. People can skirt around these things, but if you are too close, you risk getting "ChapterHouse Studios vs GW" happening in your life...
