All of which makes the "WOTC is going to mandate an approval process for
all D20 Content!" rumour of a few weeks ago look awfully silly...
An interesting point. When someone posted that rumour to rpg.net, it
generated dozens of responses. A few days ago, I posted a link to the
current incarnation of the ACTUAL D20 STL. It generated one response
from someone who clearly hadn't read the .rtf file.
Why do people prefer to believe lies, even when the truth is at hand?
