What's original material? If I knew, I'd be publishing it myself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> But as Eric said, you know good original material when it comes along and makes you say, "Darn, that's cool! It must be mine!" For me, good original material is like some of the books from Malhavoc Press, such as the 'events' series (Requiem for a God, Cry Havoc), and books that detail things that many people don't detail, such as the Book of Hallowed Might. I swear, Monte can take the casting of one spell, and make a movie special effects shot out of it. (Take the spell Wellspring of Soul's Light from Book of Hallowed Might, for an example.)Also original are products such as Mutants and Masterminds from Green Ronin. I don't own it yet, but I intend to, because its handling of d20 and the Superhero Genre are quite elegant; it's the system I'll be using when I one day run another superhero game.I'm sure many others can bring up original material that made them say, "WOW!" but there's my answer; 80% may follow that-famous-law-whose-name-i-can't-remember-but-starts-with-a-"g", but but the remainder consists of some darned good stuff, and there's a whole field out there open for more - ESPECIALLY with the brilliance of the PDF publishing industry, which allows for  cheaper production costs.</blockquote>
