If it has a D20 logo, it is compatible.. it may not be fantasy genre though.. There already have been new flavors, such as Broncosaurus Rex, a sci-fi dino world, or the greatly heralded 'the foundation: a world in black and white', a superhero game..
Each of these is new, differant and still d20 compatible.. they require the rules of the players handbook to create a character, but other than that, require nothing.. This is the sort of d20 compatible products that are envisioned.. Yes, you still need the PHB, but the genre of the game is totally diff than D&D.. Its only if you add mechanics for character gen and advancement to your game that you lose the ability to have d20 logo.. -R ----- Original Message ----- From: "muphicks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 3:35 AM Subject: Re: [Ogf-l] Modern War (was: Uhm...joke or not?
