[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1732224, member: 1288"] Well, like Mouseferatu [i]hopes[/i], at any rate. :) I'd love to see more interaction/cooperation between publishers. I loved Green Ronin's and Paradigm's Interlink concept, and I'd be delighted to see more such things. I have no idea how it would impact the market--I haven't looked into that sort of thing--but I know it'd be great on a personal level. But I'd [i]really[/i] love to see is WotC allowing 3rd party companies--on a case by base basis, not as an open license--to product products that tie directly into WotC hardcovers that are not OGC or part of the SRD. For instance, WotC has their Frostburn environmental book coming out soon. How cool would it be for, say, Necromancer to do an arctic-based module that made use of that material (with official permission), and to have the two books point the reader back at each other? How cool would it be to see Green Ronin do a book of planar locales and socieities that included info from, and pointed back to, The Manual of the Planes and the Planar Handbook--again, with specific permission, not necessarily because WotC opened up those books in general? I think that sort of cross-polination would be great for everyone involved, [i]especially[/i] if the WotC books referenced the other, 3rd party material (even if it's just a single mention in the introduction, or a tiny ad blurb in the back). I have no idea if such a thing is feasible, and I have no solid facts on which to base my theory that it would prove helpful, but I'd love to see it. :) [/QUOTE]
