[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 6355784, member: 6688049"] [b]57 worldbooks in 6 or 12 years isn't so many.[/b] Consider the d20/OGL era. All sorts of existing fictional worlds were depicted with Third Edition-ish rules. I dredged up an old EN World post from 2003, which I've copied and pasted here. Within three years (from 2000 to 2003), this thread counted 78 Intellectual Properties which included d20 stats. Though not all of them were full worldbooks. And that's not counting the entirely new IPs which came into existence solely through d20 or OGL, such as Mutants & Masterminds and Spycraft. [I]Here's a list of all the Intellectual Properties I could think of which pre-date the d20 license, and which have since appeared in an official d20/OGL incarnation -- or at least with dual-stats. Entries in parentheses indicate IPs which are purportedly on their way to d20/OGL. Entries in curly brackets {} are IPs which have appeared in d20 form in only a limited way, without a worldbook (e.g. in adventure modules or magazine articles). Asterisked IPs are those few which post-date the d20 license, but which have non-d20/OGL incarnations as well.
