[QUOTE="isidorus, post: 2777546, member: 9714"] No Problem Phil, I learned quit a bit about publishers of OGC material, although I feel it is probably useful in theorizing about publishers in general. Anyway this OGC Wiki is not really my cup of tea, but it has somewhat confirmed one thing for me. I suspect somewhere in the future there will be more crippled OGC, which is quite sad. The other thing I suspect is that posting any of a publishers OGC material in Wiki's, web pages fan or otherwise may end up with RIAA cease and desist letters somewhere in the near future. This is a feeling though, but I am not limiting this to D20. I figure as RPG's sales slow, RPG companies may feel they have no choice so they can extract a living from what seems like a very tight market. Not sure any of the above will happen, although from all I read so far, I suspect someone on one side of the other will fire the first salvo. I sincerely hope it does not become war between publishers and consumers like the RIAA battle. Anyway I noticed it is still being talked about, so I keep reading and learning. [/QUOTE]
