To all on the board and Ryan:
Ryan is this possibly referring to the d20 logo on my site? I linked it
back to the Open Gaming Foundation Page. Also I may have said some where on
my site that my products require the Dungeons and Dragons PHB. I though
this was okay? Was my site a particular problem? I will go fix, it. Sorry
if my page was one of the offenders.
TTYL,

>It has recently come to my attention that several of the companies and

>Here are the simple rules at this stage of the process:
>
>You cannot use trademarks from our settings including NPC names, setting
>names, names of towns, etc. Generally speaking, if the word is a proper
>noun, it is a trademark reserved by us. Obviously, public domain names are
>not included in that scope.
>
>You cannot use the "Dungeons & Dragons" trademark.
>
>No use of our graphic logos or artwork for a commercial product is ever
>permissible without a license.
>
>If you are improperly using one of these marks, please alter your marketing
>and web sites to remove those references. If in doubt, look for a "TM" or
>Circle (R) indicia on our products - without a license from Wizards of the
>Coast, you cannot use those marks in commercial activity. To check the
>status of registered trademarks, you can look at
>http://trademarks.uspto.gov/access/search-mark.html
>
>Note, a mark that has not been registered may still be claimed by us, or
>may
>be in the process of registration.
>
>Thanks for your help and attention to this matter.
