[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 3878113, member: 94"] I am sure it wouldn't. The point I was illustrating was that, clearly, Goodman doesn't consider the d20 logo to be the poison that conventional wisdom says it is. I suppose Joseph could explain why he still uses the d20 logo. He must have his reasons, he's a canny and very successful d20 publisher. No, but I don't think most consumers understand the distinction between d20 and OGL. I think "most" consumers know what the d20 logo means (it means "compatible with their official books"); some subset of this group can discern between publisher brands (Green Ronin, Goodman, Necromancer, Paizo), and some smaller subset still knows the difference between an OGL product and a product bearing the d20 logo. Good assumption. I'm assuming that would be "most consumers." EnWorld is a bad sample. We're all super elite gamers, here, with an IQ 40 or 50 points above the average gamer, and stunning good looks to boot. They could. But I am sure most publishers would prefer to play nice with WOTC, and vice versa, as opposed to sticking a finger in their eye. (No particular finger specified.) [/QUOTE]
