[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 4583530, member: 43283"] No offense, but it really doesn't matter. WotC has revoked the d20 STL. The amount of time that's left for publishers to dump their stock with the d20 STL Logo may be debatable, but the d20 STL _is_ dead. Version 6 of the STL says this: Last heard, WotC was...nice... and gave a 6 month notice to publishers so they could get rid of their stock. Technically, they didn't have to. Whether any of this is right or wrong is something that's been fought over quite a few times and is really a dead issue. Just so this post is actually on topic: I'm pleased that they're making this move. I imagine that this will mean they'll continue to get some "long tail" sales and with offering the titles through Lulu, it means they don't have to worry about the issue of publishing costs. Very smart, considering how things are these days. If someone is happy with a pdf, they can buy it. If their hate of pdf knows no limit, they can shell out the money to get it printed. It'd be nice if some of the stuff were to be "updated" but I don't think it's really worth their time and effort to do so. They're already going to be spending time and money just stripping this stuff down to OGL it; updating it at the same time is probably a straw that will break the camel's back. [/QUOTE]
