Just a few off-hand I know about are... Exalted, it has charm cards out there...Star Wars SE has company made and fan made force cards on the internet... Contract Cards for Changeling and... you know what never mind.  I guess in the end either you support a companies practices because they are what you agree with or you don't.  But please this "spoiled brat" line of reasoning is insulting  when it really has nothing to do with the SRD and everything with the value particular companies offer those who choose to support their products.Here's a link where WW has all of it's Solar Exalted charm cards for download...free.<a href="http://www.white-wolf.com/downloads.php?category_id=8" target="_blank">White Wolf Downloads</a>And here's a fan's blog who created and posted links to contract cards for Changeling the Lost... he even posted their location on White Wolf's forum...<a href="http://fantasyandmore.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/seeming-contracts-and-goblin-contracts/" target="_blank">Seeming Contracts and Goblin Contracts « Relborn’s Fantasy Blog</a>Hey, even WotC get's in on the action when its not D&D...<a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/forcepowercards" target="_blank">Force Power Cards</a>and fans have filled in the new ones from the released sourcebooks without C&D letters going out.Also there's Mongoose Publishing that has gone the OGL route...with it's own SRD...<a href="http://mrqwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page" target="_blank">Main Page - MRQWiki</a>Perhaps it's not so much being spoiled as the fact that the value expected when one supports a game has changed both in the view of the consumer as well as in the view of many companies... and perhaps WotC needs to realize this.  I'm not saying eveything should be free, but there are certain expectations (you know like a decent character sheet) that help facilitate gameplay and are not charged for by many game companies or C&D letters sent out, though most fan sheets I've seen use the D&D logo, name, etc.).  I don't think it's being "spoiled" to expect this from the industry leader when everyone around them appears to be doing it.</blockquote>
