But hasn't Goodman created a fairly recognizable brand with DCC, though? The d20 logo is only a small part of DCC's trade dress. Given the rep they've built, would removing that little logo really hurt them?Wulf Ratbane said:So for example, Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics (which by my reckoning has been in the Top 5 sellers for Impressions month in and month out for well over a year) continues using the d20 logo. The retailers already know that Dungeon Crawl Classics were a proven seller, and the d20 logo serves its purpose admirably for the end consumer.
But for consumers who are aware of the d20/OGL concept, will the removal of the logo really prevent them from buying product?Wulf Ratbane said:No 3rd party "OGL" logo will ever be as useful as the d20 logo is.
The real issue is what happens with consumers who are not aware of the whole d20/OGL thing, assuming they are out there.
I have to wonder, though, if Role Aids could sell to AD&D players in the '80s by being sneaky, why can't current publishers sell to 4e players with license-approved compatibility language?
