[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 273717, member: 835"] I'm not sure if this would be feasible, but how about a system like this. Rather than containing hundres of pieces of OCG en masse, the proposed website instead contains a searchable database of summaries of the OGC contained in various products. Essentially, the site becomes not a OGC repository, but a colllection reviews of individual OGC "crunchy bits" (as opposed to reviews of products in their entireties) When a company publishes a work containing OGC, either they, or someone who has the work would submit a concise, non-playable summary of each major piece of the OGC contained, such as: "A system for assigning CR ratings to hazardous terrain such as deserts" or "This prestige class is an Arcane spellcaster whose focus is on the controlling this relating to the ocean and those who travel on or under it" Attatched to the same entry in the database would be: 1) The name of the work containing the piece of OCG 2) The author of the OCG 3) a link to the publisher's contact information/website. 4) a public rating system, (perhaps poll-driven, perhaps comment driven) so the community could express how useful/balanced/etc. the particular piece of OGC is. 5) The category of OGC contained (PRCs, Spells, Monsters, etc.) A search for "Mass combat" might return short descriptions of the mass combat systems in "Fields of Blood," "The Open Mass Combat System," Kaptain Kantrip's mass combat resolution system form these boards, etc., but would not bring up descriptions of all the descriptions of the PRCs in the Quintessential Fighter, or the rest of its content. When someone wishes to find and potentially use OGC from another source, that person can search the database, read the comments others have made about the various results, and decide what pieces of OGC they want to use in their own work. Then the person can either buy the book if it contains what they need or can contact the publisher directly to try to work another arrangement, and to notify them of their intent to use the OGC. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
