Joe,

I had the same thought upon recently seeing the Creature Collection's Section 15.

 

[Monte At Home]

Well, we used to put the names of products that we talk about in the author bio or upcoming products sections in Section 15 to make it clear that those product names are not open. We don't do that anymore (and now you see why--it's confusing).

Makes it sound like they must have used the sections from BoEM II and Cabal. I'd like to know what.

Still, it would be nice to see said product, or at least to not have hear about it first on a messageboard.

As for the section 15. It is still incomplete because it doesn't contain a line for Metamagical Theorums, which is the compendium name. Of course, that section 15 points out the downside to compendiums as well. Who would want to add that their own section 15?

My guess on that is that they didn't actually include anything new so they didn't bother to list the product itself.

Compendiums

I don't have a problem that it's a compendium.

I do have a problem that the publisher did not see fit to inform the buying public.

And while it's legal to do so, I would not buy a compendium which did not (seemingly) make any effort to inform the original authors of the material. But that's a personal standard.

After being a long-time lurker on these forums (since Eric Noah's d20 news days) we are finally putting our best foot forward and announcing the first product in our new line of d20 PDF products.

This is the part that bothers me the most.

I feel as if ENworld has been used to facilitate this trickery.

Eerie shadows of Nemesis Press....

I am in agreement with Wulf and Morrus on this one. Something doesn't quite smell right here. While it is technically okay to do something in this fashion, I know I would like to be informed if our material were used for the purposes of a compendium (or any other project, for that matter). It's just courtesy, I think. It sure beats reading about it on a message board somewhere, as Monte pointed out. That's just kinda crass.

My $.02 anyway.

Actually, the way he posted that -- "Eric Noah's d20 News days" -- was a giveaway, though a subtle one and one that slipped right by me. It wasn't d20 news; it was 3e DnD news. I don't think anyone other than a Sherlock Holmes type would have caught that, though.
