Just. Plain. Wrong.

Take public domain children's literature and an Open Gaming License, and this is the result:

GLINDA OF OZ... d20
This PDF includes the original story "Glinda of Oz," written by Frank Baum, and features additional editing and d20 game statistics designed to help the story read more like a d20 game and to help your d20 game play more like an Oz story.


Aaiiiieeee.

Y'know, I'm a big advocate for the public domain, and oppose the abuse and constant extensions of copyright being pushed by Disney and other big corporate "content providers" who feel that they deserve a c profit any time anyone reads anything, anywhere... but golly, this is a compelling argument for the other side.

You mean 'Lollipop GUILD', right?

Naw. It doesn't get to be truly wrong until they also make it BoEF-compatible.
