[QUOTE="Simplicity, post: 1113560, member: 1496"] Thanks for coming by, Andy. But this statement is just B.S. and it avoids the entire issue. If WotC wanted to improve the "quality" of d20 products, they could require standard statblocks, grammatical and spelling checks. This addition to the license isn't about improving quality, it's about enforcing morality and it's about CYA. "By ensuring that d20 products adhere to certain standards we improve and protect the quality of the d20 brand, for us and for everyone who uses it." Well, obviously not for people who want to publish mature products. Obviously not for those who want grim settings. WotC stores have entire sections devoted to mature BOARD games. I don't see anyone rushing to pull those games off the shelves. This change will alienate a large number of D&D players. D&D is not a children's game. It hasn't been a children's game for a long time. I may be wrong, but I believe the latest statistic put most D&D players over 20 years of age. There are other ways to protect the d20 brand. For instance, the creation of a "d20 Mature" license. Censorship is not a business WotC should be getting into. [/QUOTE]
