that sounds like a point in *favor* of releasing a completely-not-D20 game under the WOGL. the WOGL's usefulness grows geometrically with the variety of content released under it, and a completely different game will broaden the content far more than just about any D20 expansion system ever could. and with the added benefit of opening the eyes of the average consumer to the possibilities, rather than just thinking of it as "3rd-party D&D stuff". -- woodelf <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.home.net/woodelph/ If any religion is right, maybe they all have to be right.
