Editing Sword and Sorcery Studios (section)

==History==
The leadship at [[White Wolf Publishing]] saw the massive potential for the [[d20 System]] in the roleplaying industry, so they formed Sword & Sorcery Studio — a new department dedicated to production of d20 products. White Wolf wanted an expert in the legal and mechanical issues involved with the d20 trademark license, so they asked [[Necromancer Games]] to help form the "Sword & Sorcery" imprint, to publish both the books of Sword & Sorcery Studio and those of Necromancer Games. This partnership was announced on September 13, 2000.<ref name="designers00s">{{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons: The '00s|publisher=[[Evil Hat Productions]]|year=2014| isbn=978-1-61317-087-8}}</ref>{{rp|8}}

When this partnership was announced, White Wolf also stated that Sword & Sorcery Studio was involved as a third partner was involved, although it was actually just the White Wolf d20 content division, but did give its name to the Sword & Sorcery d20 imprint. White Wolf produced the first book for Sword & Sorcery, the ''Creature Collection'' (2000) monster book which was assembled by [[Clark A. Peterson|Clark Peterson]] and Bill Webb of Necromancer Games, and written by White Wolf staffers.<ref name="designers90s">{{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons: The '90s|publisher=[[Evil Hat Productions]]|year=2014| isbn=978-1-61317-084-7}}</ref>{{rp|33}}
