[QUOTE="CRG, post: 273633, member: 5867"] The OGC is OGC. As a publisher, it's not a legal issue whether or not I call it that. The issue is do I spend time and money pulling out only the crunch from the stuff I sell into a single repository for end-users versus a repository for developers. Now, if someone wants to do all the collecting on their own, fine. Whatever. But as a publisher, I don't think I'd participate direclty if it was a public repository. I'd have no incentive. As OGC, there doesn't seem to be anything prohibiting an interested party in pulling all this data together. Go for it. However, I wouldn't expect alot of help from publishers unless there is some benefit to them. A publisher exchage, maybe with some other things flying around in the background (previous designs of an already released PrC, some future spoilers, etc.) and I see benefit - much like folks developing D20 Modern games before D20 modern is released - value in the sharing at that level for the publishers. Once you have the SS Magic system in an indexed, easy to gank format, do you think folks will go out and buy the book or encourage others to do so? And if so, would that hurt or hinder their sales? If someone were to put together a business case showing the publisher that this kind of thing ultimately helped their sales then there you go - you have your incentive. I would expect that's a rather hard sell. [/QUOTE]
