[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8927525, member: 8461"] 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: [LIST] [*]The 3.0 SRD (updated to include content excerpted from the [I]Psionics Handbook[/I]). [*]Two monsters – the razor boar and scorpionfolk – from the [I]Monster Manual II[/I] (both originally from Sword & Sorcery Studios' [I]Creature Collection[/I] as the iron tusker and sandmasker, respectively). [*]The Modern SRD (updated to include content excerpted from [I]d20 Future[/I], [I]d20 Menace Manual[/I], and [I]Urban Arcana[/I]). [*]Most of the text in the [I]d20 Modern Weapons Locker[/I] supplement. [*]The 3.5 SRD (updated to include content excerpted from the [I]Expanded Psionics Handbook[/I], [I]Epic Level Handbook[/I], and [I]Deities and Demigods[/I]). [*]Most of the text in the 3.5 [I]Unearthed Arcana[/I] supplement. [*][I]Dragon[/I] #304, "Prestige Races," by Greg Dent and Brannon Hollingsworth. [*][I]Dragon[/I] #308, "Dragon Magic," by Monte Cook (the concept and the Dragon Magic feat both originally from Malhavoc Press's [I]The Book of Eldritch Might III[/I]). [*][I]Dragon[/I] #311, "Arcane Alterations," by Christopher Perkins based on an idea by Monte Cook (this was later reprinted in the [I]Dragon Compendium vol. 1[/I]) [*][I]Dragon Annual #6[/I], 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. [/LIST] If I missed anything, please let me know and I'll add it here! EDIT: Added the [I]Monster Manual II[/I] entry. [/QUOTE]
