OGL Rules for the Wild

As mentioned in our 2013 Christmas Special, we're planning to release some jungle comics in 2014. In the process, we came up with some tidits for OGL Modern that are perfect for creating characters like Tarzan, Sheena, and soon-to-be NUELOW Games stars Voodah, Rulah, South Sea Girl, and, of course, Judy of the Jungle.
