With the recent controversy surrounding Wizards of the Coast and the Open Game License, I thought it might be interesting to take a look back at all of the Open Game Content material that WotC has released over the years. Looking back through my collection of older-editions products and various SRDs, I was surprised to find that in years past, WotC was more generous with their OGC than I thought. Here's a quick series of bullet points listing official D&D releases that had Open Game Content:
EDIT: Added the Monster Manual II entry.
- The 3.0 SRD (updated to include content excerpted from the Psionics Handbook).
- Two monsters – the razor boar and scorpionfolk – from the Monster Manual II (both originally from Sword & Sorcery Studios' Creature Collection as the iron tusker and sandmasker, respectively).
- The Modern SRD (updated to include content excerpted from d20 Future, d20 Menace Manual, and Urban Arcana).
- Most of the text in the d20 Modern Weapons Locker supplement.
- The 3.5 SRD (updated to include content excerpted from the Expanded Psionics Handbook, Epic Level Handbook, and Deities and Demigods).
- Most of the text in the 3.5 Unearthed Arcana supplement.
- Dragon #304, "Prestige Races," by Greg Dent and Brannon Hollingsworth.
- Dragon #308, "Dragon Magic," by Monte Cook (the concept and the Dragon Magic feat both originally from Malhavoc Press's The Book of Eldritch Might III).
- Dragon #311, "Arcane Alterations," by Christopher Perkins based on an idea by Monte Cook (this was later reprinted in the Dragon Compendium vol. 1)
- Dragon Annual #6, select content from four articles: "First Look: Dragonstar," by Greg Benage; "The Black Talon Ss'ressen," by Henry Lopez; "Black Riders and Bone Horses," by Wolfgang Baur; and "Firearms of Freeport," by Chris Pramas.
- The 5.0 SRD.
- The 5.1 SRD.
EDIT: Added the Monster Manual II entry.
