Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vigilance" data-source="post: 3866928" data-attributes="member: 4275">There are some industries where doing something new is just perceived as having more value than copying someone else, even if you're copying them in a way that brings some of your own creativity to the table.I draw an analogy to the rock and roll cover band here.Even though you're not going to write the greatest rock song ever (because "Satisfaction" has already been recorded), you have more of a chance of getting a record deal and getting radio play performing your own original material than you do performing a cover of "Satisfaction".That said, there have been some examples here and there of late.A few of my martial arts feats appeared in TGM's Martial Arts Mayhem, Green Ronin's Thieves World used the magic rules from Sovereign Stone, and the three base classes in True 20 first appeared in Unearthed Arcana. So there are some instances off the top of my head, but my experience is that the content has to be pretty darn good.</blockquote>
