[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5331552, member: 18280"] [B][I]EDIT: This is a response to Hussar.[/I][/B] I'm not sure what the relevance of your point is to what I said. As more material is available to cross-pollenate with, more cross-pollenation will occur. So, yes, a big glut occurred early, but that big glut included a lot of material that was very short on OGC. Good books, some of them, but not helpful for cross-pollenation. As 3e was coming to its end, a lot more OGC was released (based on the books I own, anyway!), and then more in the 3.5 era, and then even more with the OSR. During that early glut there was some really fine OGC produced as well, but it required some time to (1) identify it, and (2) realize how cool it would be to use it. The ToH comes immediately to mind as perhaps the most-referenced 3pp OGC ever. Even so, there was some early adoption of cross-pollenation almost from the start. Quite a few books with large amounts of OGC proclaim it boldly and often on the (usually back) cover or 1st page; clearly the publishers thought that was a selling point. RC [/QUOTE]
