#3 brimstone May 20, 2004 10:39:28	Ah nuts...I think I used the wrong term. I meant the new books coming out (Complete Warrior, Complete Devine, and Complete Arcane). I guess the "splat books" were kind of the original idea for these new ones, right? Anyway...I'll change the subject heading. My bad.
#4 lugnut71 May 20, 2004 12:45:06	I don't think they are under the ogl right now so Sov press couldn't use them. Of course this could be subject to change in the future.
#5 ranger_reg May 20, 2004 14:44:26	Sovereign Press will have to secure permission from WotC to use certain classes from the Complete book series at this time. If they're allowed to print them in future DL supplements, a legal notice would have to state that the copyrighted text is used with permission from WotC. At this time, the material from Complete Warrior and now Complete Divine have not been released as OGC in the SRD. Wizards have released most material from the Expanded Psionic's Handbook, Epic-Level Handbook, and Deities and Demigods into the SRD as OGC.

Just because something is OGL from Wizards doesn't mean it has to appear in the SRD either. Things that are OGL are free to be reprinted as long as credit is given to the orginial creator when used. For instance, much the the rules from Unearthed Arcana are OGL but they probably won't show up in the SRD anytime soon. The SRD has two functions really, one, an easy way to access "core rules" that may be reprinted in a future suppliment and two, to show what can be referred to in a d20 book (i.e. "see Ranger in the Revised Player's Handbook), hence the term "reference." A lot of people seem to not understand the difference between material that is OGL whether or not it has to appear in the SRD if done by Wizards. <<<>>> Back on topic though, according to the small bit of legalize under the credits: "This Wizards of the Coast game product contains no Open Game Content." can't be reprinted without permission. Now, since Dragonlance is a licensed Wizards product it has a much better chance of obtaining said written permission, I've already seen it done a few times in the Ravenloft books (mostly in terms of referring to monster stats in books that don't have OGC, like the Monster Manual II) And that's enough outta me!
#7 wdarkk May 20, 2004 15:09:38	I didn't mean that they're OGL. I meant that they're generic D&D, meaning they are supposed to be brought into any setting by players/DMs. Despite not actually being published by WotC, I would call Dragonlance a D&D setting.
