One of the Stretch Goals of the Kickstarter is the publication of Frog God Games' Razor Coast in RealmWorks. That's the only announced product that I know of, but one goal of the repository/marketplace is for publishers to make their content available for purchase by the user community.

The tricky part with fan-based content is that the proper names and artwork are usually NOT covered by things like the Open Games License. With the OGL, you are free to create your own characters and scenarios using the rules and mechanics of the Open Content provided. Fans are generally NOT free to use the names of nations, worlds, or other unique characters/entities of a setting. And, typically, the artwork is not Open either.

RealmWorks is positioned in some of the descriptions as being a new medium, comparable to print or PDF, for delivering game content. As such, a lot of what you can and can't do will mirror what you can and can't do now under the OGL and similar licenses. Note that not all supported games will be OGL games, so what you can and can't do with specific game systems may also be different.
