No argument there, it however is a work of fiction for d20 gamers. I really
can't see any one else wanting it.

Oh, you _could_ argue that the "Kingdon Stat Blocks" are game rules, or
could be released as OGC, which would give it the 5% more or less (at a
rough estement, I havn't counted lines to see). However so much of even
that would be PIed as to make it next to useless to another d20 designer.
Is it worth $8.95? To a d20 designer? No. To your normal run of the mill
DM? Hell, yes.
