Trademark law only prevents you from using those names without permission *to sell the product* (which usually means in ads and on the outside of the product). There is *nothing* in trademark law that prevents me from mentioning another's trademarks in my book. Mostly because you're not then using it to sell the product. In the "Critter Commandos Compendium" (which I released in 1991...or was it '92?) I included a whole stack of material for using the Critter Commandos rules with the Warhammer 40K miniatures line. I didn't mention this fact on the cover (only that it included a conversion for a "major line of sci-fi miniatures") and said something similar in the sales materials. I was covered under the "fair use" clause. (And considering I was telling folks to *buy* their lead, it would have been pretty silly for them to get mad in any case, but that is neither here nor there...) -Paul @ CFE/NSG www.teamfrog.com ------------- For more information, please link to www.opengamingfoundation.org
