[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 711211, member: 53"] I hope they aren't allowing campaign worlds in this category (like the aforementioned Freeport). I think the exception that perhaps should be carved out by new "systems." For example, is "Spycraft" a roleplaying game or a supplement? To me, it doesn't seems more like a related game rather than a supplement. I'm sure back in the day Runequest & Call of Cthulhu would be considered different roleplaying games, even they they both used the same base system. The main question I would ask, if I was charge of making the decision, is whether it's fair to exclude publications because they choose to follow the d20 license? After all, if they had more carte blanche & could include the character creation rules, I'm sure they would (at least in those I expect the consideration would be for). If Spycraft or Dragonstar had included these in the publication, then they would be clear entries in the category. I can see both sides, but I truly feel that the decision was made to even the field and not exclude those because of a clause in a contract they choose to abide by. Glyfair of Glamis [/QUOTE]
