The Open Gaming Exchange is host to the "Open Gaming Directory" -- which is making an effort to catalog all OGC in products released under the OGL. It is available to browse here ==> http://www.ogexchange.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=OGC_Directory&file=ind ex The entire system for entering data is web-based, and is available to anyone who has an account on my website (free) who requests permission. At some point in the near future, when I have time, it will be opened so that any body can contribute entrees. As it stands now, the actual Open Gaming Content, is not present -- instead a description of the content is given, information on obtaining the product is present, and links to reviews (some on our site: <shameless-plug>Check out Spike Y Jone's latest review on "The Maiden Voyage" by Atlas-Games at http://www.ogexchange.com/article.php?sid=27 </shameless-plug> By providing only a description of the OGC, and not the actual OGC itself, we side step the OGL altogether and are essentially providing a review via Fair-Use. -- Michael Cortez http://www.OGExchange.com Promoting the Exchange of 100% Open Gaming Material _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
