The leadship atWhite Wolf Publishing saw the massive potential for thed20 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 askedNecromancer 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.[1]: 8
