Approval Status: None => Approved

Follow-up Comment #1:
For the artwork, if you have the copyright, it is best to put them into GPL
even if you cannot provide the actual source. If you can't because you lost
it, that's surely not wonderful, but in the end, if you are the author, no
one will actually be able to claim you did not fulfill your obligation, as
long as he cannot demonstrate that you did not organized the loss of source
files. If it is artwork files, you may not provide the actual better format
for modification but still it is not useless (unlike a program binary) and
using GPL would surely incitate further contribution to include the source.
As for 3DSMax files, it is not like if it was necessary to have it to run and
use your game. It would not be a necessary dependancy to run the program. So
it is not a big issue, even if indeed it is not wonderful, and it is
definitely better to provide the source file than nothing.
For the D&D rules, using a piece of BSD-like software is not a problem for a
GPL software, as the BSD-like grants people to redistribute it under more
restrictive terms.
