The d20 System Guide provides multiple sets of abbreviations for its copyrighted titles, allowing you to cite the essential D&D books as the Player's Handbook, PHB, DMG, MM, or Core Rulebooks I-III. They prohibit you from citing specific page numbers, but only because those may change with subsequent printings--instead, they ask that material be cited by chapter and subheading.In fact, this shows that Wizards has actually made a much better provision for allowing citation within the terms of the license than any other publisher I can think of, except of course 2WS-Steve  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> If creators want their work to be cited, why not make it easier for folks to do so by following Wizards' lead and creating an official set of abbreviations? Leaving this up to the re-user of the content creates the potential for confusing variant abbreviations, and also makes it more likely that prior work won't be cited at all.</blockquote>
