"Dungeon Magazine"
Although, heck, why *not* have an open gaming adventure mag?
Sounds like a good idea to me...
Back on topic, the *open game material* would still be resticted by the OGL.
If the OGL is modified to treat *articles* as works, and include those
parts of the magazine that comment on the article, you don't gain much, if
anything.
You could have a few adventures each issue (or maybe just one *good*
adventure), each of which would be covered by the OGL. The rest of it could
slide by, and you could include things like reviews of other d20 products,
or lists of what's out in D20.
And since any mention of your articles is "advertising", you still can't say
"This is compatible with Trademarked Game" without permission.
