[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3777148, member: 710"] I am not familiar with the specific details of the D20 Logo or the Trademark Use Guide, so it's possible I underestimated what guidelines are already available. But I tend to assume that this is more a legal thing, which is not the main aspect I refered to. The question is how "worthy" is defined, indeed. In case of the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo, "worthiness" is analyzed based on certain test cases: Does the installer use the MS Installer Technology? Stores it the application files in the correct directories? Does the application react correctly in case of fatal errors (shuts down without taking the system with it, and doesn't try to ignore th error?). It's a lot harder to apply this types of guidelines to D20 guidelines, but there might be some possibilities. For the example at hand (which I never heard of before, and gladly I never did :) ) Maturity Requirement: If rated according to standards for movies or electronic games, would this be acceptable for children of 12 years or older? Exceptions are possible, but in this case, the product must specifically note these on its front and back cover, and they have to be approved by WotC." Task Resolution System: To determine the success of an outcome, a modifier is used plus a value determined by a d20 roll. The result must be equal or higher to a specific value. It is possible to set multiple values to achieve different degrees of success. This rule only applies to specific tasks that can fail or succeed. Determining any random effects (like damage) can be based on different dice or an entirely different mechanic) These were probably the easy ones... (And not perfect or in legal-speak :) ) [/QUOTE]
