[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6248865, member: 8835"] Good luck with the new netbook projects then. My name's in one of the 2e era netbooks. Which back then was just somebody collating every spell they could find it seemed when they asked to include mine from my website. From what I saw of the 3e netbooks that some friends in another group were using, some of the stuff seemed over-powered. Likely to happen when you've got a massive volume of material, whether there's good editing or not, unforseen synergies are going to happen that players are going to find. Given what somebody a few pages back said about feeling that the FanCC was a little too restrictive compared to the old 2e era netbooks, consider this idea: Whether you heavily balance the material or not, a GM has to review, approve and probably tweak whatever gets used from a netbook anyway. Therefore, consider a new format where your site can accept spell, feat, skill, monster submissions. Visitors can rate them, and the d20CC focuses on editing them for readability/mistakes/consistency, rather than acting as a gatekeeper. Then provide an output tool from this database to produce the "latest" netbook based on what's been submitted to your database. So more like a wiki/database, less like a dead tree. Might be worth noting, EN World's working on such a database right now (might not have the Rate This feature). Imagine a bit of teamwork, where you guys focus on editing, EN hosts the content.
