### PCGen Data Development: Publisher Permissions

This is a listing of the permissions requested and their current status. It should be noted that PCGen only includes material that is covered by the OGL unless permission is otherwise granted by the publisher. And though permission is not needed to use OGC it is PCGen's policy to seek permission from and comply with the wishes of the publishers. Not all of the publishers listed here have data included in PCGen at this time (see the Books in PCGen link on the navtree) but many are eager to see their work included in the program.

#### PCGen Data Inclusion policy

The following is PCGen’s policy on including data for distribution.

> 1. PCGen’s publisher liaison team contacts the publisher and asks for permission to include one or more of their sources in PCGen’s distribution.

> 2. If the publisher agrees, they will be asked if they wish to do a final review of the dataset before it is released.

> 3. If no final review is required

> > a. The data monkeys will work on the dataset.

> > b. No portion of the dataset may be included unless it first goes through the OGL team to make sure that it complies with the OGL and with the publisher’s declaration of PI and OGC.

> 4. If a final review is required

> > a. The dataset must be completely entered

> > b. The dataset must go through internal quality assurances

> > c. The dataset must go through the OGL team

> > d. The dataset is then provided to the publisher

> > e. If the publisher deems it complete and ready for inclusion, then it will be added to PCGen’s distribution.

> > f. If the publisher has issues with the dataset, those issues are corrected, and the process repeats with 4b.

#### Permissions - Explanation

> Dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format

> Full Permission, means that the entire product can be put in as a dataset.

> OGC only, means that PCGen will only put in OGC content into the dataset.

> Publisher Review Required, means that the publisher needs to review the dataset before inclusion into production.

> no review required, means that PCGen can put the dataset into production without a review from the publisher.

> Other Permissions are hopefully self explanatory.

> MonkeyGod Enterprises - NO LONGER AN ACTIVE COMPANY

> Point-of-Contact: MonkeyGod Enterprises (MGE) was one of the pioneers of 3rd-party d20 publishing under the OGL. From the start, MGE concentrated on releasing adventures that were both challenging and entertaining, providing hours of fun for fantasy gamers everywhere. MGE later entered the sourcebook arena with various titles, including two highly-acclaimed books. Sadly, MGE had to close operations in 2004, ceasing all publication of d20 products. On the plus side, the company reinvented itself, emerging as the award-winning (Games Magazine Game of the Year 2005) Face 2 Face Games. SOURCE: monkeygodpresents,html
