PCGen Data Development: Publishers

This is a listing of publishers who have granted us permission to include some or all of their material in PCGen. 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 but many are eager to see thier 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.
