d20Modern and Star Wars Saga edition are both labelled by WotC as
d20, as were all the optional rules variants in Unearth Arcana, or 4e
style stuff like the Book of Nine Swords: very few 3rd party d20 books
went further away from core DnD than those did, and most simply pushed
WotC to better respond to customer demand.

True20 type, which is a great shame for the hobby, IMO.
