[QUOTE="Zulkir, post: 416838, member: 1943"] Folks, Since Ryan is not likely to notice this thread I thought I'd pop in and post in his stead. Has d20 done what we thought it would do or has it taken some odd turns. The answer is "both". As far as sales and support of our products d20 is doing exactly what we want. We couldn't be happier and are looking to expand the license not contract it. Thus when d20 Modern releases in November it will be SRDed immediately and a number of companies will have material and/or settings to support it. In addition, we hope to have the PH, DMG, MM and PsiHB all finalized in the SRD by November and then we will likely add another cap system book (we are still taking suggestions). On the other hand, the whole thing took off *alot* faster then we thought. Some of the bumps in the process were caused by our not be prepared for the really rapid accpetance and use of the license. People were jumping on board so fast that some were not even reading much less understanding the licenses. This has gotten *much* better in the last year but we still get the occasional goof. The variety and creativity of alot of d20 companies has really startled me (personally) and the quality of alot of offering are truly outstanding (if you have not picked up Nyambe or Monsternomicon I stongly recommend both - really top notch). But we got our first surprise way back when Relics and Rituals was released. I remember it being passed around in R&D and people shaking their heads partially in awe, partially in concern at the high quality of the work. But overall the d2o and OGL licenses have been nothing but good and as a fanatic collector of d20 material it has made me very happy. AV [/QUOTE]
