[QUOTE="tensen, post: 861859, member: 3022"] 1) Publishers will probably reinvent the wheel anyway... because they either don't agree with the mechanics... or it ends up not being mechanics that work out with something else they designed. 2) Cost is rarely in buying the books and getting it out. Since many publishers already provide the OGC text for the particular material you are looking for if asked. And even provide you with the proper section 15 block. 3) This will make a horrendous task for developers to look through, each and every time they get a submission... just to make sure some freelancer didn't inappropriately borrow material from it without designating it. It would make it easier for publishers to inadventantly use materials because of a freelancer with access here. Rarely will a freelancer use material from another book, since it would involve them typing it all in. But when they already have cut and paste notes... fun. if the material is all there.. I would consider it a headache. If you list a product and what new material: Names of each of the spells. Names of Magic items. Names of new feats. Name of a new sort of mechanic. I feel that would be more helpful. Along with the proper contact that the publisher wants you to use to contact them for the specific OGC material. If someone asks me for all the text on Moon Elves. I'll tell them to bugger off. If they ask me for a list of 10 spells... I'll give them the material and the section 15 block. [/QUOTE]
