[QUOTE="maransreth, post: 1977936, member: 4390"] I have version 001 from October 2001 of the Netbook of Traps in pdf version if you want a copy Adam, or I can email a copy to Dom. As to the death of the Fancc, yes, it has been a long drawn out affair. It has had a long and varied history with infighting, compliance issues and then legal issues with publishers (won't name any names ;) ). I think the Fancc would still be going if technology wasnt the way it is and it is so easy for people to publish their own material for sale easily as pdfs. The main thing people should remember is that in the "old" ( ;) ) 3e days there was such a thing as keeping a feat/class/race/spell balanced within its parameters. That was the main focus of the groups and the reviewing - making sure what was published was useable and not deemed as over the top by the d20 internet community. Unfortunately in today's 3.5 era, balanced whatevers dont seem to be the norm even from WotC themselves and authors became frustrated with the length of time taken to review x,y,z to ensure it was balanced. So raise a glass or two to the group that started a number of successful freelancers. [/QUOTE]
