<< My first instinct was to say "You can do that anyway, because we don't claim Mythic Races as a trademark or as Product Identity." The title isn't designated as OGC, but it's just two common words, so I don't think it's eligible for conventional copyright protection, is it? >>
Not copyright, but possibly trademark. While the two words may be common words, the combination of the two could potentially form a basis for a trademark. Consider "Forgotten Realms", two common words that together form a trademark. Consider also "Dungeon Master", two other common words that together form a trademark. The more unique, or creative the words, the more likely you can get a trademark. Another example is Hekaforge's "Lejendary Adventures". They used a "j" in the name, primarily so that they could trademark it. << I'm no expert, but I'm not sure why you *couldn't* reference the title. For the same reason, I can technically reference "Player's Handbook" (but not "Dungeon Master's Guide) in a work I publish under the OGL. >> You can't reference "Dungeon Master Guide" because Dungeon Master is a trademark. "Player's Handbook", like "Psionics Handbook" are not trademarks, therefore, like Ryan mentioned in a previous message, you can reference them. It's all about trademarks. -- Korath, http://www.korath.com "He was already dead, he died a year ago, the moment he touched her.
