[QUOTE="Fester, post: 1752408, member: 14945"] What [B]jmucchiello[/B] says is correct - you can't just say "Compatible with Dungeons and Dragons" or anything like that. However, if you use the d20 license for your products, you can (indeed, must) use one of the terms set out in the [URL=http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/d20Guidev5.rtf]d20 Guide[/URL], which includes "Requires the use of the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook, Third Edition, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc" or "Requires the use of the Dungeons & Dragons, Third Edition Core Books, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc" (there are others for d20 Modern etc). If you use the 3.5 rules, you can also add "This product utilizes updated material from the v.3.5 revision.". Of course, using the d20 license means you're signing up to exactly what is set out as part of that license (which includes the d20 Guide), so make sure you know what you're agreeing to. If you only use the OGL, then you can't make any direct connection with Dungeons and Dragons, as that is not a part of the OGL. As a further note, the [URL=http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3289&src=news]ePublisher d20/OGL Guide[/URL] has just been released. I've just purchased a copy and found it worthwhile.
