[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 446475, member: 8461"] It isn't so much that "Four-Color To Fantasy" is really that bad of a name, imho, it's just that it's rather...odd. For one thing, I read a lot of comic books, and I didn't really understand that whole "four-color" bit until you explained it just now. Not pluralizing the word "color" makes it sound strange too. To people who know that it suggests comic books, it might seem slightly exclusionary to other forms of super-heroism that it otherwise supports perfectly well, such as wuxia, mecha, magical girls, etc. The biggest problem with the name, and this is an opinion several of my friends share with me, is the name is replaced. Calling the product "d20 Supers" would have been a much better move in my opinion. For one thing, the style of that title would make people associate it with d20 Modern, and that would be a good thing, since it could be laid down on that easily to enhance a game. It also just sounds cooler that way. Replacing that title with "Four-Color To Fantasy" was something of a let down. It would have made a good subtitle, but not a very good product title. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
