Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 6564356" data-attributes="member: 22424">I don't know if those are the latest versions. Two things to note, though:1) The OGL explicitly allows you to use any version, so you don't need to use the latest.2) The d20 license has long since been cancelled. Don't use it.The two licenses have (had) different rules. In particular, the d20 license required you to indicate that it needed the PHB for use, while the OGL didn't permit a statement of compatibility (but see below).The Sword & Sorcery stuff was released under the d20 license, which is why it says it requires the use of the PHB. As I said above, that route is now closed to you.The standard workaround is to say "For use with the Third Edition of the World's Best-known RPG", or "For use with Fifth Edition", or similar. Basically, any form of words that doesn't include "Dungeons and Dragons" is pretty much okay - that's a loophole in the license. (And, because you can use any version, it's a loophole that WotC can't close.)But... as with all threads of this sort, I have to note that I am not a lawyer, and neither am I a publisher of third party materials (or anything else, actually). So I'd recommend at least checking with someone more knowledgeable. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
