Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Scythian" data-source="post: 8907492" data-attributes="member: 6875986">The Tome of Horrors is a monster book that was published by Necromancer Games in the early days of 3e.  It includes a lot of classic (A)D&D monsters that were released as OGC under 1.0a (or maybe 1.0) by special arrangement with WotC, and there are special instructions in Tome of Horrors for how to credit them in the OGL.  (Each monster has to be listed separately, for example, and the author of the Necromancer Games version has to be credited alongside the original author, like this: Cave Cricket from the Tome of Horrors, © 2002, Necromancer Games, Inc.; Authors Scott Greene and Clark Peterson, based on original material by Gary Gygax.)The monsters in the Tome of Horrors include most of the creatures from Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, most if not all of the demodands, a bunch of demon lords (including Juiblex, although his name is misspelled as Jubilex, which means that you have to misspell it too if you want to use him), and a lot of monsters from the 1e Fiend Folio and Monster Manual II.All of the stuff about the SRD is irrelevant because, as I said in the post you're responding to, the monsters that I'm talking about were released as OGC under one of the existing versions of the OGL and aren't part of any SRD.  They will no longer be OGC if they're revoked.And, like I said, there are a lot of things (spells, monsters, magic items, whatever) that have been released by OSR and non-OSR publishers that are OGC that aren't part of any SRD.  These aren't things that clone anything from any edition of D&D.  They are original creations released as OGC under the OGL in good faith.  They will no longer be OGC once the existing versions of the OGL are revoked.</blockquote>
