D&D is not generic fantasy, it's a specific form of fantasy and D20 Fantasy implies a generic fantasy rules set more true to something like True 20 than D&D3, which isn't a generic system in spite of its various campaign settings like Eberron, FR, Greyhawk, Dark Sun etc. Each of those is the D&D paradigm applied to a different genre like Eberron with Magitek, FR and Greyhawk to traditional fantasy, Dark Sun to survival wasteland, post apoc settings or Ravenloft is D&D applied to the horror setting but D&D isn't generic. Again though, by refusing to call it by its name is implied snobbery and a second class game to the previous editions. I would accept D20D&D because that is an acceptable thinking of it because it is D&D concepts applied to the D20 mechanics, the magic Arcane/Divine split, ALignments, etc. If you mean to be snobbish or not, it still comes off that way.</blockquote>
