[QUOTE="Animan, post: 4710917, member: 82889"] Hi gang, I think I'm in the right place for this question... Which I'm sure has been asked in some way, shape or form previously. I've looked around this forum for some insight, and got some clues (esp here [URL]http://www.enworld.org/forum/e-publishing/247104-new-free-pdf-manual-lot-doubts.html[/URL]) I also went rifling thru the board on [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpg-legalities-ogf-4egsl-d20stl/"][B]RPG Legalities: OGF/4eGSL/d20STL[/B][/URL] , and my question is rather simple, but getting a straight answer has been a chore (until now, hopefully!). [B]Can I use SRD material (monsters and spells, for instance) in an OGL product? [/B] I see everywhere talk about d20 SRD, but since WotC has migrated to GSL they seem to shy away from questions regarding d20 I (which I don't believe they can revoke, but I will treat d20 as a dead duck anyhow). But DO I NEED A d20 LOGO/LICENSE TO USE SRD CONTENT (D&D 3.5 material sans PI stuff)? Or will an OGL logo/license suffice to accomodate the SRD material inside? I want to publish an adventure campaign for the Dementia Five Publishing House ([URL="http://www.dementia5.com"]www.dementia5.com[/URL]) a new RPG printing press that caters to historical fantasy RPG campaigns and adventures, and I want to make sure the licensing is accurate. Some other questions, if you're up for it :) Will just the OGL alone suffice for using D&D related (SRD) content verbatim (e.g. "inside you find a +1 ring of protection)? For that matter, can I use the words "D&D" for an OGL product? Can I invent a character class or race under OGL? ? Should I abandon d20 for say Pathfinder, which I already have logo permission and may take over the d20 market this Fall? Again, the majority claim the d20 moniker is restrictive, others say it has gone the way of the dodo. Not sure I want to wait until the Fall, though... and finally, correct this sentence: d20 uses the SRD which follows from the OGL and OGC, however, OGL invites use of the SRD.
