[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1914076, member: 3586"] 2004 has been the most significant year since 2000 for Open Gaming and Wizards. Here are some of the highlights of Wizards' contribution to Open Gaming in 2004: * Publication of [i]Unearthed Arcana[/i], a D&D source book that is 99% Open Gaming Content. * Publication of [i]d20 Modern Weapons Locker[/i], where all the gun statistics and additional weapon rules are OGC That's two [i]hardcover[/i] books. * Addition of the Expanded Psionics Handbook rules to the SRD * Addition of the Deities & Demigods divine rules to the SRD * Addition of the Epic Level Handbook rules to the SRD * Addition of the Menace Manual monsters to the MSRD * Addition of Urban Arcana material to the MSRD * Addition of d20 Future material to the MSRD There are also plans to add Planar Handbook material to the SRD. (I'd expect that in 2005 - Andy Smith is rather busy. :)). This has been a really significant year for Wizards and Open Gaming. I hope we see another like it next year - and the inclusion of a few monsters from the other D&D monster manuals in the SRD. Why am I posting this? Because there are some really ill-informed people on these boards who think that Wizards doesn't care about the d20 System. Really? Why did they release so much material this year, then? Many thanks to Charles Ryan, Andy Smith and the rest of the D&D team for this great year. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
