Downloadable software is so 1990's. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (Of course with Adobe AIR, web apps can become downloadable software, too - but prettier and cross-platform with no extra coding.)Plus get OGC from various products in there so that people can have a single ruleset encompassing the SRD, their own material (including their own house rules and any non-OGC they input themselves), and OGC from plenty of other sources.It would be subscription based and with enough interest could easily be priced less (per year at least) than the core rules books.Somehow, I would greatly prefer that to sitting down to scan thousands of pages of books, cleaning up the imperfect OCR text, cutting and pasting what I want, and then arranging it into some document that I can print. But that's just me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I might be lazy but I like the idea of integrating an entire book of OGC monsters into my own personal SRD with a single mouse click. (Oh, and that personal SRD is fully searchable, hyperlinked, and has built in tools such as advancing a monster using just a slider bar and some feat picking).Of course, it's no small task, which is why I haven't decided it's worth the effort yet. But I've been refining the designs and data models for a couple years now and it's less complex than the sort of stuff I've been building as my day job. I don't know if there's enough of a market out there either, so who knows.</blockquote>
