If they want to use any of my OGC, they can feel free. Not that it'd be worth the time to input it...
I'm sure your work is worth reading.

I'm an American living in Canada. I'm......confused. Should I be bragging or apologetic?

The OGL-Wiki, though, is only using material that the publisher/author OKs.

I understand Raven and per our agreement you have the right to do whatever you want with your material. I am simply requesting that you wait a year from the release of the material in this instance. Legally you are not obligated to do that, but I feel it is best for the magazine if you do.
Using part of the material I don’t feel would be disruptive, say a new creature or something, but I feel that releasing the whole article would hurt sales as people are still actively buying these issues. So, for the best interest of the magazine, I would ask that you honor my request to wait a year from the release date.
I do want to release issue #0 for free so people can get a feel for the magazine and you do have an article in that issue so if you want to release that in this effort I don’t have a problem with that, so long as of course that you put our info as described above in the OGL. Then in May you could add in your issue #1 stuff.
Does that sound fair to you?

Joel has finished the H monsters from Monster Encyclopaedia I: Ravangers of the Realms. This brings the total monsters pulled from this resource up to more than 80. With the release of the Huntsprite, Joel is on about page 136 of this book, leaving another 120 to go. If you need a monster stop on by, may a razorfiend is just what you need, it is currently attacking my PBEM group.
Khuxan sent in the files for Stonebridge – City of Illusion. This is the second book in the Cities of Fantasy series that he has pulled for the Grand OGL Wiki. This edition was also written by Patrick Younts. With this up, all the Cities of Fantasy have been added to the Wiki.
If you are travelling the multiverse, you know have information on the transitive planes, then elemental planes, and the outer planes from the Vault of Stars to the Questing Grounds. These are all pulled from Gareth Hanrahan’s Classic Play: Book of the Planes.
John Whamond sent over some material from The Quintessential Elf II: Advanced Tactics written by Shannon Kalvar. So far we have the Elven Ways and Means chapter up which details elven crafts, crystals, and living magic.
Lastly, Mike has sent over almost all of the Quintessential Cleric II. There is one section left to go up and I need to build the multiclassing tables but I would expect by the weekend this one will be completely wrapped up.

* The Quintessential Fighter
In this update several books were added to the "being worked on" list, including Quint. Elf II, Quint. Fighter II, and Quint. Sorcerer. Much content was also entered from the Book of the Planes, the Quint. Cleric II, and Monster Encyclopaedia I: Ravagers of the Realms.
