[Green Ronin] Two Title Changes -- Make Note!

[Pramas]

At the request of Wizards of the Coast, we are changing the titles of the Medieval Player's Handbook and the Advanced Player's Handbook. The new titles are the Medieval Player's Manual and the Advanced Player's Manual. These are title changes only--all other information about these products remains the same.

Medieval Player’s Manual
A Mythic Vistas Sourcebook for the d20 System
Written by David Chart
Cover Art by David Leri
128 pages, perfect bound
MSRP: $22.95
GRR 1403
ISBN: 1-932442-14-6
Available Late February

This Mythic Vistas sourcebook brings medieval Europe to life. With new rules for natural magic, theurgy, saints, templars, and more, the Medieval Player’s Manual gives you everything you need to have exciting adventures in the age of Christianity and crusade. The book also presents Kin of the Conqueror, a campaign setting detailing the anarchic period after the death of King William the Conqueror. From 1087 to 1154 the British Isles and northern France were convulsed by wars over his legacy. Plunge into adventure with Kin of the Conqueror, or use the rules to explore other parts of the medieval world. Either way, the Medieval Player’s Manual is your starting point for a new d20 experience.

This is the second of Green Ronin's Advanced Rulebooks for the d20 System, THE essential supplements of 2004. The Advanced Player's Manual complements the Player's Handbook with new options and abilities. Enhance your d20 fantasy game with luck rules, a new dynamic alignment system, expanded benchmarks for skills, alternate spellcasting classes and scores of supporting new spells, unit combat rules, culturally-based variants for racial abilities, and a whole lot more. Written by D&D 3E and Draconomicon author Skip Williams, the Advanced Player's Manual has something for everyone. If you buy only one sourcebook for the d20 System, this should be the one.

Chris thanks for the update. Was a reason giving by WotC for why they wanted the change?

 

[Cergorach]

Although i do not expect an answer to my question, i will state it:
Request or demand?

Given the "Heads we win, tails you lose" clause in the STL, does it matter?

WOTC: We'd like you to change the title of those books, please.

GR (hypothetically):No.

WOTC: OK, we've just revised the STL. Now you HAVE to change them.

Agreeing just eliminates the "change the STL" part. For now.

It was a request. They are basically not keen to have a bunch of books floating out there that say "Player's Handbook" on them. We have a very amicable relationship with WotC, so we agreed to the change.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Chris thanks for the quick answer.

I guess the name doesn't matter that much anyways as GR's name is on it and that enough for me.

 

[Nightfall]

Agreed Shatterstone. Anything with the GR logo ALWAYS gets a look from me. Especially regarding fiends, unholy warriors, and cosmologies.

Hmm...
Unholy Warrior's Handbook
Book of Fiends
Aasimar & Tiefling...

Man, do I know you?

[Nightfall]

Perhaps.

Actually, the words "Player's Handbook" have now been banned from d20 licensees' publications in the d20 license. Therefore, Lizard's version seems to be quite correct - except of the "No!", of course .
