[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1113104, member: 172"] On the last one I purchased. All D&D and d20 modern products have the d20 logo on them, albeit not as prominently displayed as you will find as on products released under the d20 STL. Which, I reemphasize, is still irrelevant, since WotC's products are in no way bound by the terms of the d20 STL since they weren't released under them. They own the trademark. They can use it any way they like. Thank you for mentioning that, I was about to point that out. Even if WotC were to publish another such product, I still don't think that the BoVD is even comparable in image to BoEM. Further, if you read Monte's account of the book's development, they carefully scrutinized every aspect of it to ensure they didn't cross the line. I doubt that WotC desires to expend that much effort to scrutinize the products of others at their own expense, so it would not shock or surprise me if they abided with a simpler and more conservative standard.
