I have used stuff from CC and RR with some frequency. But of course I am the listed copyright holder on that, so getting permission is pretty easy :) I use my own Tome of Horrors stuff, obviously. > Heck, has anyone done comparative sales volumes of > products that do and > do not link to each other? (COULD this even be > done?) To my knowledge there is no evidence that our "market externalities" drive the sale of other d20 products; unlike the way our products drive WotC core books. But even there I am skeptical as to how much we drive core books today. In the beginning I think we (meaning d20 in general) were key to helping 3E be adopted. But I dont know how many more PHBs we sell for them today. As for open and closed sales, here is an example: Our product Necropolis, which is mostly closed due to licensed use, and Tome of Horrors, which is totally open with instructions for reuse, are very similar in their market performance as far as hitting estimated goals. If openness had any relevance, Necropolis would have been below norm and Tome would have been way above. That wasnt the case. A product is either cool and desirable or it isnt. How you designated OGC has almost nothing to do with that.
