Uh-uh... Ever see Chaosium's Dragonlords of Melnibone? Granted, being Elric-derived, a lot of PI is involved, but sometimes I feel it was often an excuse *not* to include a lot that they could have (frex: Demon-binding) as the concept is often repeated in other products albiet differently (MGP's Demonology, BoVD, etc.). Anyhow, Chaosium generally tops the list for me. ~Ol' Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rogers Cadenhead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 11:48 PM Subject: Re: [Ogf-l] Mongoose Publishing OGC > On Fri, 17 Jan 2003 03:21:43 +0000, Faustus von Goethe wrote: > >BUT - if I wind up being my own publisher I am seriosly considering > >going to > >an "everything derived" model.
