Somehow I missed your original e-mail Lizard. Taking this portion out of
context, is it wrong for me to infer that you find Cre Col's presentation of
these issues to be slimy? If so, why? Keep in mind Relics & Rituals will be
done in a similar fashion and you're now an author in that book ;)

That's the route we and Clark are going on Sword & Sorcery Studio products,
but as Ryan has pointed out, this method is only of short term value. WOTC
promotes D&D as D&D, not D&D 3rd edition, now that it is on the market. So
the 3rd edition tag will, potentially, lose its audience recognition factor
very quickly.
Anyway, since d20STL allows the canned line that references D&D and the PHB
explicitly, and since you have the d20 logo on your work, any other method
of referring to D&D w/o using the trademark is arguably superfluous.
