D&D, nothing more.  I've enjoyed several of Necromancer's book and they boost "1st edition feel."  I highly doubt for example, if John Wick came to Troll Lords and wanted Ork stats in a module he wrote for d20 that we'd see it there.  I could be completely off base but I believe the LA parts are in concession because you are well known, famous even in the role playing community.  Nothing wrong with that, but it's not what I want and I'm glad for example, that the SGtD didn't have any LA stats and I suspect, but could be wrong, that they didn't because they are a larger company and didn't have to give you any concessions.If you have any more questions, fire away.  I've read and played a lot of your material, enjoyed some, hated others and have no problem sharing my opinion.  Part of the problem with the internet is that despite the fact you can refer to what you've written, it doesn't always come across the same way due to different backgrounds each person brings to the table and sometimes requires clarification which I'm glad to provide when I can.</blockquote>
