[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 1112525, member: 6957"] My suspicion is that they are taking aim at a few (or even 'one') publisher of D20 products, but phrased the license in such a way as to prevent that one (or 'few') publisher(s) from saying that they were being singled out. And to make it known that they could do something about it if similar things are done in the future. Frankly, after the announcement of the BoEF I was expecting something like this. Again frankly, Valtera is very much like TSR's nightmare dreamchild come to life... [Pat Robertson]Hmm, into the occult, and does a book of D20 eroticism...
