Message: <blockquote data-quote="ColonelHardisson" data-source="post: 1261634" data-attributes="member: 363">OGC material can benefit the gamer who has no interest in the business side of things, although somewhat indirectly and not immediately. What OGC could do (and which has not quite come about yet) is standardize the game even more than it is. That is, when OGC comes out that covers an area not covered in the SRD, if it's good enough (or popular enough), it could become the standard for the industry. And, the OGL would still allow for others to try to make better systems. So, it's kind of a win/win situation.Also, most d20/OGL books I've seen detail the OGC they use in the book they use it in, so one doesn't generally have to buy the original source of the OGC to use it. All in all, I'm glad WotC is doing this. As Psion noted, the foot-dragging* at getting books like Manual of the Planes or the Epic Level Handbook into the SRD has made it seem more and more like WotC has no intention of adding any more such material. This is the first really positive sign in that regard that I've seen in a long while.* I don't blame the "foot-dragging" on the poor guy who is responsible for getting the material ready to go into the SRD (is it still Andrew?). It seems more like WotC simply won't devote the time and effort on a corporate level into getting it done. That is, they must have the person doing the job doing a number of other things that take precedence (at least, that's my guess).</blockquote>
