    Community Rulesets empty?

    I just downloaded a few of the community rulesets (OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, Star Wars d6, and Dresden Files) and found them utterly empty. Outside of the character sheets and the desktops there was nothing in any of them, no rules (potentially understandable with DF and SWd6, but OSRIC and LL are SRD based). Did something go wrong with the download, is this how they're supposed to be.

    A ruleset gives you the framework to play - the game mechanics: character sheets, NPC records, combat tracker, etc.. Some community created rulesets might not contain all of these, depending on how much time the developer spent on the ruleset.

    Library material is usually covered by copyright.

    In the case of SRD/OGL based material I'm guessing the community ruleset developer didn't feel the need to spend more of their time developing a library module and was happy entering NPC etc. data manually in their campaign as required.

    You would be much appreciated if you built a library for one of the SRD based rulesets
