[QUOTE="Mark, post: 1978242, member: 5"] Huh? So you draw a line and suggest the industry is on one side and fans on the other. I say there is not really such a line, that in this "industry" fans *are* industry people and vice versa. Then you say you did no such thing. Then further say that you didn't slight anyone. And then go on the repeat that there is a division. Break that down for me again, will you please? Did you misread what I posted, or just not understand it? Because I make no mention of "slights" or judgements, only the delineation being made by you between the so-called industry and fans, such as we all are. How many race books and/or class books do you have on your reviewer's shelves? Have you seen the section fifteen of Bastion's Arms and Armor? I don't think the "Industry" has done a whole lot in the way of consolidating or weeding out material at all. And why would they, as a whole? What it all boils down to is whoever happens to be making the call, whether a DM at a table or a "president" of a d20 company, is deciding which material suits their best idea of an ideal game (and usually leaves a little more, or a lot more, in to make sure a broader audience is satisfied that all based are covered). Such a project boiling down OGC from the Netbooks and reformatting them for republication would be no different, IMO, then one DM taking them and using the old red marker before making copies for his players.
