Individually, d20 publishers simply aren't big enough to be able to draw on the pool of talent out there.  But, by borrowing from eachother they can draw on eachothers talent.  Those that publish good ideas have their ideas spread farther and those that publish garbage sink to the bottom.  As far as what percentage of reprint is good, well, that's for the market to decide.  If modules are produced with 80% reprinted material and sell very well, then 80% is the benchmark.  Conversely, if 20% sells better, then, that's where you end up.  IMO, this is an excellent way for smaller publishers to reduce costs and print better products.  Instead of reinventing the wheel with nearly every product, why not use what works?  Publishers already do it with the SRD, why not draw on 3rd party material as well?BTW, Dungeon and Dragon will not print any 3rd party material.  Period.</blockquote>
