Not only that, it sounds like they are setting themselves up for work with little payoff in editing/reviewing work.

Quote from: walkerp;229298This fear is so unfounded.  First of all, there is no way that D6 is going to attract the quantity of creators as D20 did.  And second, D20 really didn't suffer from the glut of poor product out there.  The good product sold and good D20 stuff stuck.  The bad stuff went away.  

This is just a control freak mentality and may end up limiting D6's full potential to propagate and grow.

I think that is a good point. The market will sort out what is and isn't good. Poor products generally will not devalue a system unless there are a high % of poor products.

Quote from: Mark ReedThere will be a company tasked with overall guidance of the license and ensuring quality.

Even WotC with all its resources knew that this was an impossible idea to do with D20.   And these kids are going to review every D6 product for free?   Not gonna happen.  This plan is made of fail.

Quote from: Mark ReedBeing an official product is a signal to consumers that this book has been vetted and plays nice with other D6 products.

Uhh...no.   Let's put down our crack pipes and realize the D6 market is itsy bitsy and will stay itsy bitsy until a whole load of marketing dollars changes that fact.  

Quote from: Levi Kornelsen;229324They're decent guys.  Some of them want very much to be open to some degree.  The question is one of degree.

They are going too Open.  If they want an Official D6 brand, they need lots of quality products out in short order that sits on shelves in a common block.  OGL-style is the wrong way to achieve this.   A Collective where the publishers are vetted is their better bet.   Then, you can farm new talent out as freelancers to the vetted publishers and if successful, these freelancers could later buy in as they are vetted.

I still prefer your PD plan.

From what I could see, most people on the rpg.net thread seemed to disagree with them.
