[QUOTE="chatdemon, post: 252963, member: 228"] This was suggested before, by Robert Romano of Children of the Grave Press IIRC. Problem was, none of the publishers wanted to play ball, and those of us who spoke about the spirit of open content were attack, rather harshly (in particular by someone who bragged from here to next week about how 'pro' he was, only to go on and have to sell his game to another publisher because his outfit couldn't put the pieces together.) Of course, everyone's account of the situation will vary, but that's how I saw it. Comes down to the arrogance of the print publishers concerning the pdf only publishers IMO. God forbid the little suggests something that actually embodies the spirit of the open gaming movement. I guess the OGF is just supposed to be a club for guys who want to get rich riding someone else's coattails. If you do want to try and pursue this project, I recommend popping over to CotGP's website and talking to RR. He may have some work started that he abandoned due to the negative reaction. [/QUOTE]
