[QUOTE="Athrawn17, post: 1189685, member: 14915"] Not really...someone just has to take the initiative and make the best format. If everything in the world was based on getting everyone to agree...we wouldn't get anywhere. If a person makes a product and even if it's not 100% perfect, as long as the majority of a community uses it then we have achieved, IMHO, our goal. We really are just trying to get everyone to play nicely with each other because we as gamers are tired of making kick ass spells and items and not being able for our fellow gamers to use them, because they have choosen a different product. Also I think that this should NOT be done by any of the larger generators. The reason for this is because if a product is defining this, then they will be in a position where they have a head start in implementing it. However, on the other hand, if the products which everyone uses refuse to adapt, then the work will be all for nothing. Finally, I think that there needs to be away to easily add information to this format. If a standard is made, then a GUI should be released with the standard. While most d20 players are at least somewhat computer literate, I'm not sure how many would feel comfortable editing XML directly. I would wager that there would be quite a few that would be able to fill out forms to enter the data though. [/QUOTE]
