Questions(4) about R.W.

[Silveras]

That means "hacking" into the HL distribution files for the game system. That's part of why it is not there.

Then there's copyright issues... LWD SELLS those. If you make an exportable version from Realm Works, that's not yours to do so.

If someone wants to go to the effort of manually entering a rules system, they are free to do so.. especially if it is under the OGL (Open Gaming License) that makes re-distribution of rules elements easy. PROVIDED you abide by the terms of the applicable license, OGL or not.

If there is no license, then you have to actually re-write in your own words. The game rules can't be copyrighted, as I understand it, but the specific words used to describe them can be.

See, this is why I keep saying that Realm Works is a new medium, and people producing files for sharing are publishers. That means you're at risk for the legal issues that go along with being a publisher.
