I sort of got bored watching the progress of D20 and I was fairly
convinced that it was dead.  But yesterday I dumped a few dollars on
D20 based books.  Looks like a couple of small publishers have come
out with D20 material so they believe it is real.

If you notice, WotC is not spending a lot of money to promote D20,
although you can now see the logo on their new materials.  They are
bringing out a couple of other games under D20 such as Wheel of Time
and Star Wars, so there are some interesting prospects.  NWN is going
to be D&D 3rd edition, so if it catches on that may help D20.

So with a very positive asssertion I say "dunno". "maybe".
