Must White Wolf open WoD to the public to get you to look at them?Somewhere the privilige that WotC has granted to third-party developers, you've turned into a right in your mind. That is just wrong. The right to publish add-ons to D&D has only existed for 3 years. It did not have to exist ever.Now they've decided they aren't happy with certain places third-parties can go with THEIR IP and have moved to prevent it. You should be happy they still allow anyone to play in their pool at all.When you get that boycott in the tens of thousands, they might notice. As long as you produce d20 compatible products, you are just widening their potential sales.Competition in the RPG market was always build a better system up until 3 years ago. Only because WotC opened the d20 system has they been competition within a system.No, because it makes no business sense for them to do so. You may as well ask them to replace the d20 logo with a D&D logo.</blockquote>
