[QUOTE="Man-thing, post: 4609692, member: 12012"] The [B]Grand OGL Wiki[/B] started in August of 2008 as a result of Matthew Sprange of Mongoose Publishing deciding to make the OGC from their old d20 products available for everyone if someone crazy enough volunteered to extract and build wiki for it. Starting slowly and utilizing a back-up site for development the wiki garnered a lot of interest but few helpers initially. Though the ones who came were very dedicated. In the four months that the Grand OGL Wiki has been around it has garnered: - 4200 unique visitors - 6853 visits - 49457 pages - 63523 hits - 914.73 MB of bandwidth Or Top 5 Page-Urls visited are the publication list, the homepage, reviewmas, monster encyclopaedia and classic play: book of the planes. 91.7% of our users as Windows Users, 3.8% are Mac Users 47.9% use Firefox, 45.8% use Internet Explorer 76.6% of people come to the Grand OGL Wiki from direct links (like from the LJ, Kobold Quarterly, Mongoose, Paizo, EnWorld) or from bookmarks. The amount coming from the twitter account seems to be growing. The current back-up of the site is 5.92 MB (compressed), 13.8 Mb (uncompressed) covering 1700+ files. [B]OGC:[/B] Open Game Content has been drawn from 2 products from Dragonwing Press, 2 products from Creative Mountain Games, 5 products from Fifth Element Games (with all green-lighted for use), 31 partial or complete products from Mongoose Publishing and 3 products from Reality Deviants Press.

As I create new things, probably utilizing some OGC from the Grand OGL Wiki, I be posting it in the new creations directory. Up now is the "Mistress of the Web", an aranea arcane archer.
