Ryan said, "Because we wanted to make sure there were 3rd party D20 products at GenCon, we permitted manufacturers to use the D20 logo on their products under a "gentleman's agreement" to abide by the terms of the draft license, with the proviso that the license might be substantially changed before it was made formal...." "In short, I think publishing a short adventure, or even a relatively rules-light sourcebook is probably reasonably cautious, proceeding with a more ambitious release at this time is a highly risky venture." However, It should also be noted, that the companies that got coverage by Wizard's Attic and were early adopters are SELLING OFF THE SHELVES. I monitor many of the same lists other members here do and I speak with distributors frequently and these bad boys are hot hot hot. I think this is due to the novelty, the co-release of 3E, and the quality of the products that have been promoted at the conventions. I remember comments from WotC (I think even Ryan) about the non-profitability of modules, so let's make sure we don't succeed too much ;) (I'm kidding of course) Call your local retailer and ask them about d20 products ... they'll tell you the truth ... and make sure you produce quality stuff...
