Please read the FAQs. All Open Game Content is copyrighted (as is pretty much any fixed expression of an idea), so your questions don't make sense together. "Open Game Content" and "copyrighted" are not mutually exclusive. And no, you cannot convert Planescape to OGC. Wizards owns that material, and only they have the right to release it or works derivative from it as OGC. To be clear: THE ONLY WIZARDS OF THE COAST MATERIAL THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR USE IN OGL PRODUCTS IS THE MATERIAL RELEASED IN THE SRD AS SHOWN ON THE WIZARDS OF THE COAST SITE. If you choose to accept the risks involved in the Gentleperson's Agreement, you may additionally use the material in the Draft SRD on the Open Gaming Foundation site. The major risks are these: that Wizards may decide never to release that material and ask you to stop publishing material derived from it (very unlikely, in my opinion); or that Wizards may change some of the material before it is released, and will require you to update your products accordingly at the earliest opportunity (again, unlikely, in my opinion). Ignore every book. Period. Look at the SRD if you want to know what is available from Wizards as OGC. Martin L. Shoemaker Martin L.
