[QUOTE="GamingFrontiersRob, post: 131292, member: 3874"] [b]GF rant[/b] I'm not much of forum guy so I just discovered this thread. I'm very flattered that you feel a column in opur book is worthy of a discussion. Now that Volume 2 is out you can see that the rant topic is about the prices of product in the rpg industry. A valid topic. I would like to address the other three you offered: Regular updates to websites: This would be a tough one for us to rant about considering we're guilty of the same. Since this is still a part time thing for me, I have a hard time finding time to update the website. When I do find time, any amount of time, there is a million other things I would rather do. I'll try to do better but don't hold your breath. What's that? Get somebody else to do it? I'm open to suggestions. As I'm sure you are aware, Mr. Noah, free help isn't always the best. You get what you pay for. If you know anyone who is talented AND dedicated AND free send him over. Poor layout: This topic is similar to the art topic from volume 1. I do see the major differences and feel it deserves a rant but you can just replace the references to art in the volume 1 rant with referencs to layout and ou have your rant. Not much more to say on the subject. Pay somebody who's in that kind of business to lay out your book, don't do it yourself. Lack of OGL support between companies: Now here's a good one! I'll pass this one on to Jeff. We have something in the pipeline personally that I'm not ready to discuss, but it's along these lines, utilizing more of the existing OGC. Volume 3 of Gaming Frontiers will have an adventure written by freelancers that uses OGC from Green Ronin's Legions of Hell. There's a start. Thanks again, guys. Robert J.
