I ask this question even though I know the Star Wars bit is 100% NOT open source under any stretch of the imagination… that said…
I wonder if FFG has thought of at least the idea of a quasi open source-ish idea on the core mechanics… or at least if not true 3rdEd style, would not go after people who modded and offered rules for free and free publish PDFs (or heck do they have a stance on using the core mechanic period?) By default it would be protected, but 3E was so much fun and cool because people could move and tweak as needed… and this system is SO much more tweakable! Love it!
The reason I ask, is… I am SO amazed by this whole system, I am (while reading)… working up ideas of how several other key campaigns of mine would work (a gamma world setting, a low magic fantasy, old west… and a more realistic 22nd century space campaign would work).
I mean, I PERSONALLY almost certainly will be modding it for my own purposes anyway. Anyone hear any info on FFGs thoughts? Anyone else sitting there… and mashing ideas into other campaigns?
