[QUOTE="BadMojo, post: 3878107, member: 569"] I'm pretty sure it did end up chasing retailers away after too much product and WAY too much bad product. I know of a few cases where really good books didn't sell because nobody wanted to touch third party D20 any more. That doesn't have to be the case forever. If 4th Ed releases to huge buzz it certainly would've been nice to have the same logo on your product as on the PHB. I'm glad to hear about the "compatible with..." verbiage since something is better than nothing. I'm sure smaller publishers who can't rely on their own brand to catch the eye of retailers and customers will come up with some kind of solution. Rebuilding from the ground up will be a long process, I think. As others mentioned, maybe it's a good thing. At any rate, chances are I'll at least be playing and enjoying 4th Edition. Hopefully most of the companies I am big fans of will survive, at least as PDF publishers. [/QUOTE]
