RedBrick Limited is also into the GSL.

RedBrick Licenses D&D 4E Under GSL
Posted by Anunnaki on June 20, 2008

(AUCKLAND, New Zealand) June 20, 2008—RedBrick Limited are pleased to announce they have successfully concluded the signing and acceptance of the first Game System License for Wizards of the Coast’s DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® 4th Edition Roleplaying Game.

James Flowers, RedBrick’s Managing Director, said "This is an exciting opportunity for us. We have been looking forward to working with Wizards of the Coast for some time. Now that Wizards have accepted RedBrick’s application for a Game System License, we can move forward with our plans for publishing DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® 4th Edition compatible products. Once details of our forthcoming product releases have been finalized, we will make a separate announcement."

RedBrick Limited are headquartered in New Zealand, and also publish the popular Earthdawn®, Fading Suns™, and Blue Planet™ roleplaying games under license from FASA Corporation, Holistic Design Inc., and Biohazard Games, respectively. RedBrick's company web site is http://www.redbrick.co.nz. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast in the U.S.A. and other countries.

So far no announcements for specific products have been made. However, considering that RedBrick has done an awesome job with their version of EarthDawn I have no doubt we'll see some interesting and great 4E products from them.

Alea Publishing Group is moving a lot of their product lines over to 4E GSL including their Feudal Lords campaign setting.

Several products new products are in the works such as the Medieval Bestiary and a simple, new innovative way to further enhance your character role. We definitely share the direction WotC is taking with our favorite RPG, wish them the best, and embrace what the GSL does for publishers such as ourselves (to think outside the box).

I will post new information as soon as it is available.

Please do. I'll update the OP with the products (and product lines) then.

This thread makes me feel like Kevin Costner... "If you post it, they will come". :P

Edit: I checked some of your listed products. 'Mindcraft' looks like it would make the Psi-fans around here really happy.

Dunno if it GSL, but Mongoose has two books upcoming. The Paizo store that lists them - the only place I've seen the info. Didn't put a link in as I recall linking to outside store was frowned upon. Easy to find though -

Adventureer's equipment guide:
The dedicated adventurer can never have too many tools, and this equipment guide geared for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition ensures he has the right tool at the right time. From armory and specialized herbs, to clothes and mechanized gadgets—if you can't find it in this book, you don't want or need it!

Wraith Recon:
From open warfare with the Republic of Lorn to the east and its ally, the Kingdom of Torres, in the south, to the northern and westerly wildlands home to goblinoids, ogres, and giants, the Kingdom of Dardarrick is beset on all fronts! And even within Dardarrick itself, evil lurks as the followers of the deposed theocrat Tomarsson plot their fanatical return to power. Enter: The Wraith Recon dedicated special forces tasked with assassinations, raids, reconnaissance, and hostage situations in the name of truth, liberty, and justice! In this original, new setting written specifically for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, players take on the role of these legendary Wraith Recon units entrusted with the most dire missions!

And while this is a GSL thread, there should be a companion (or change this one) to just "third Party 4E books coming out". It would be nice to have a catalog of stuff like that here.

Doubly so, since I'm willing to bet that there's going to be a lot more 3rd party stuff that isn't GSL. Adamant and Goodman are both releasing non-GSL material now.

I have the product pages bookmarked to keep track of the stuff.

In 3.x I used more 3rd party products than I did WotC ones. With a number of companies jumping onto 4th I may end up doing the same. I plan to buy all the "Crunch" books (power source splats, player's guides, PHBs), but I am seeing some cool stuff being announced from other sources too.

I checked some of your listed products. 'Mindcraft' looks like it would make the Psi-fans around here really happy.

Mindcraft, written by freelancer Doug Meershaert, is an interesting product since it provided an alternative psionic system before the 3.5 psionic handbook.

It might make the cut later on as a conversion product, but being an alternate system it might not fit as well as a lot of our other products into the newest edition.

Truth be told, I do enjoy psionics (ever since the 1st Dark Sun boxed set; I own all the Dark Sun products - including the old issues of polyhedron) and there is an entire nation/cult devoted to the mind in the Feudal Lords Campaign setting (a portion of the world yet to be released; it is east of Cthonia).

So, whether or not Mindcraft sees 4th Edition, we will like to put our hands into the psionic cookie jar;) .

As for a brief update, we hope to announce in a few weeks some free 4th Ed./GSL products (we will finalize these plans later should no problems arise with our SOA).

And Mongoose Matt just announced that the Mongoose books are indeed GSL.

An original new setting written specifically for the 4th edition GSL, Wraith Recon transports the players into new roles and terrible responsibilities.

The Kingdom of Dardarrick is beset on all fronts. To the east, open warfare with the Republic of Lorn has claimed tens of thousands of lives over the past decade and trenches now run parallel to the border, uprooting towns and villages in their wake. To the south, Lorn’s ally, the Kingdom of Torres constantly threatens overt military action, and has been implicated in many raids on nearby towns as the nation reaches a fever pitch of religious hatred. The wildlands to the west and north are home to goblinoids, ogres and giants, who must be constantly beaten back as they encroach on Dardarrick territory. And even within Dardarrick itself, evil lurks as the followers of the deposed theocrat Tomarsson plot their fanatical return to power.

Players take the role of the legendary Wraith Recon units, dedicated special forces trained and equipped to operate far from the rest of the army. Entrusted with the most dire missions, the Wraiths are capable of overcoming almost any obstacle. Armed with the latest in Dardarrick magicks, and kept informed by the mysterious Spellcom system, Wraith Recon units are tasked with assassinations, raids, reconnaissance, and hostage rescue missions, in the name of truth, liberty and justice.

Are there any plans for "Variant Players Handbooks" at this time, along the lines of Arcana Unearthed or Iron Heroes for 3E? I know I would *love* to have access to something like that - a compatible system with entirely different races, classes and powers for 4E.

I know there would be a huge amount of demand for that... *hint hint*

Per the "no redefining core concepts" verbage in the GSL I would say it is VERY unlikely.
#51

fatumd20

Sep 16, 2008 17:47:40
Depends on how it was designed ultimately. Entirely difference races, classes and powers are viable options for a new book. Nylanfs is right though that we can't change (redefine) an existing classes/powers/races to offer variants since a variant is, at its core, a redefintion which is a no-no.

For example, you can do this:
Race: Winkar
Description: A short and stocky race that are heavily religious and evil
Attributes: +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma

But you probably could not do this:
Race: Dwarf (variant)
Description: Dwarves in appearance except they have glowing eyes and pink beards and can walk on water
Attributes: +2 Constitution, +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence

I can say that Night Reign will offer some new races, classes/paragons/epics and powers as apart of the campaign setting that add a fresh new look to what is in the PHB.

The present GSL does not allow republishing of any material in the any WotC book nor the redefining set rules. So, you will not see alternative 4E Player's Handbooks as Arcana Unearthed or Iron Heroes, because you cannot reprint character creation, combat rules, how magic items work, definitions of conditions, etc.

With that said, you can have entirely different (not alternative) races and classes as you suggest. I would look into campaign guides to fill this need. I know the upcoming Feudal Lords setting has new multiclasses along with new powers, feats, rituals, magic items, mundane items, etc.

We are also working on what we call "personas", herioc tier character class add-ons each with new powers up to 10th level.

Alea Publishing Group added a further product to our list for releases this year:

Noble Multiclass - Feudal Lords Supplement - Oct. 8th

This features the Noble multiclass character. Why a multiclass character than a full blown class? Simply put, anyone should become a noble: Noble Fighter, Noble Warlord, Noble Wizard, etc.

So what's inside:

  • The Noble Multiclass Feat
  • A New Power Source: Bloodlines
  • The Noble Class Template: Game Masters can create their own nobles
  • 38 New Powers - Guardians of the Ancestral Bloodline, Mark of the Heir, Kneel Down Before Me, Tongue Lashing, and many more

The reason we will publish it as a Feudal Lords product is that it fits with that theme and, should you like the product, you might give our campaign setting a second glance. With that said, all of our Feudal Lords products can and does work with any campaign setting that follows the 4E rules in the core books published by WotC.

The thing that seperates the Feudal Lords setting is the feel and philosophy behind it more so than rules. Any new rules are simple "add ons" to the exisitng system and not rule changes. So, in other words, you can purchase this particular product, or any FL product, without having to purchase the campaign setting or any other FL product.

In short, each FL product is stand alone. Anyway, I hope that answers your questions and thanks.

That's whatr I was hoping to here Thanks jraynack. In that case I'll be adding it to the list of products my players can use in my game as I think it will certainly be helpful. Even if I homerule the bloodlines a bit to incorporate commoners as well as nobles. In fact it could be that the bloodlines power source could be the perfect way to introduce Eberron's Dragonmarks into Forgotten Realms.

You can easily say that a commoner is a long line of peasant heroes or he might be a second or third generation fallen noble looking to regain his family lands.

In fact it could be that the bloodlines power source could be the perfect way to introduce Eberron's Dragonmarks into Forgotten Realms.

I never thought of that, but that is a great idea how to use them. I did (and do) like the idea of Dragonmarks, but I thought having them as feats were a little clunky. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the product should you and your player's get. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.

The Raiders Guild line of adventures.

From the announcement:

Goodman Games is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Axe Initiative Games to publish its line of 4E Raiders Guild adventures and supplements. The Raiders Guild line will be published under the GSL license from Wizards of the Coast, utilizing the Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition mechanics. The first Raiders Guild adventure is slated for publication in spring 2009, to be followed by quarterly releases thereafter.
“Raiders Guild is a brilliant concept that fits perfectly with what D&D should be about,” said Joseph Goodman, President of Goodman Games. “Raiders Guild lets players be heroes. These heroes challenge a dangerous world, exploring dark places and recovering lost treasures. But they’re not just aimless wanderers – they’re brothers in a mighty guild. It’s a new vision for the archetypal D&D adventuring party.”

“Working with Goodman Games provides the dynamism that Raiders Guild Dungeons & Dragons products deserve,” said Sasha Bilton, co-founder of Axe Initiative Games. “Joseph has a wealth of experience in getting gamers involved in his products and I’m convinced his involvement will give us huge audience.”

The Raiders Guild series was created by eminent RPG author Robin D. Laws, and features art direction by Dave Allsop. Drawn by ProFantasy Software master mappers, Raiders Guild maps are some of the most beautiful and usable available. They’ll be available in a variety of formats, configured to print out at battle map scale, so each and every encounter can be played against a full color backdrop. The first adventure, Mission: Sea Crypt sees new guild members race against time to retrieve an artifact from a coral grave that rises from the deeps once every fifty years and features a new race of foes, the writhing certhoa.

Shouldn't these companies actually produce something before they make this thread? =) I hate following links and finding nothing.

Expeditious Retreat Press
also has the
(4E) Advanced Players Guide,
which, according to it's indicia on page 2, states that it is published under the GSL

The website listed in the book (page 1) is:

www.xrpshop.citymax.com

I have my own copy, and it's a good aid in letting old-school gamers have 4E characters that feel more like older edition versions of 4E classes, and is designed to work alongside (instead of replacing) the classes that will appear in PHB-2 & PHB-3.

Do we know of any GSL products involving worlds more like Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, Thieves' World, or Liavek - grittier magic worlds NOT full of +1 swords and implements?

I would love to play a magic-item light game with maybe one thing per player character, but am not sure about debuffing the heroes too much when doing so. Are there any worlds like that?

Silent7Seven Games (www.Silent7Seven.com) currently has three released products under the GSL.

IMAGE(http://www.silent7seven.com/icon_thelunarscrolls.png)
The Lunar Scrolls contains 31 pages of content, including four paragon classes (a multiclass-only class combined with a paragon path), four short character stories, an epic destiny, a page of feats, two pages of magic items, six pages of rituals, and five pages of monsters. Read more, plus download a free preview of the crescent striker and table of contents here.

IMAGE(http://www.silent7seven.com/icon_favoredforms.png)
Advanced Class: Druid — Favored Forms is the first installment of the Advanced Class line from Silent7Seven Games; it includes seven heroic feats and four paragon feats that allow your druid character to truly manifest the form of your favorite animal or magical beast. The heroic feats grant you animal abilities available only in that shape, and the paragon tier feats take it a step further, granting you access to special powers that tap into the inherent powers of your favored form. Read more and take a look at one of the heroic tier feats here.

IMAGE(http://www.silent7seven.com/icon_aberrantblood.png)
Advanced Class: Sorcerer — Aberrant Blood is the next title from the Advanced Class line. While some sorcerers gain their power from innate bonds to chaos magic, or draconic heritage, the aberrant blood sorcerer has the unfortunate presence of Far Realm corruption in his ancestry. Grow tentacles, open gibbering mouths all across your body, and grow beholder stalk eyes with this new sorcerer class feature and its powers. To finish it off, there's a bonus fourth page containing the Twisted Descendant paragon path, which you can download as a free preview. Read more and download the preview here.

IMAGE(http://www.silent7seven.com/7scale_title.png)
When considering our products, make sure to check out the 7scale. It serves as a 'warning label' for complexity and novelty, to help you make an informed decision. The last thing we want is for someone to buy our products, and have it sit unused on their computer or bookshelf because it's way out of their preferred play style. Read about it here.

IMAGE(http://www.silent7seven.com/icon_popcreatures_reptile.png)IMAGE(http://www.silent7seven.com/icon_popcreatures_katara.png)
In addition to our GSL products, Silent7Seven Games has released two installments of the Pop Creatures line. It's a free, non-GSL release. Pop Creatures products generally consist of one-page adaptations for characters and creatures from other media into the D&D 4E system. These products are always free, and they include both monster-format and player-character-format versions of the character. The player character formats you will see in Pop Creatures are based on normal character building rules, but will almost always take liberties in power selection and certain restrictions. The results should be reasonably balanced, but Silent7Seven Games makes no guarantees!

Thanks for looking, and we hope you enjoy

Alluria Publishing is in the process of preparing the Remarkable Races line for a print compilation product. During this process, every race will get a slight makeover, including new formatting, another pass through editing, minor tweaks, and, in some cases, new art. We will upload the changes as we make them, and are they offered to those that already purchased the product free of charge. Each race will go on sale for $1.95 after it is updated. Currently, the Anumus, the Obitu, the Oakling, the Mahrog, and the Boggle have been updated to the new format. We hope you enjoy the new and improved Remarkable Races!

Would DDMGuild be considered GSL? They are officially licensed by WOTC, but are non-profit and run by volunteer gamers.  Their website is

www.ddmguild.com

I've been trying to get WOTC to give them some newer press than the old articles already on wizards.com.  You've got to do a search for 'ddmguild' in the Wizards search box to see them.  They are keeping the Miniatures Battles Game updated and going which really promotes sales of D&D minis, so WOTC should help them out a bit more I think.
