    Question [3.X] What is Official/1st Party 3E D&D Material

    SINCE I HAVE MADE A DOGS BREAKFAST OF ASKING THIS QUESTION, CAN PEOPLE JUST POINT ME TO OFFICIAL LICENSED PRODUCTS THAT WEREN'T PRINTED BY WOTC.

    ALSO, ANY BOOKS OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS (PHB. MM, CAd etc etc.) THAT WOTC PUBLISHED FOR 3E, LIKE THE DIABLO STUFF.


    I know this has been done to death in the past, but I couldn't find anything recent enough not be be necro.

    Some assertions here recently have got me wondering what is official/1st party WotC 3E material, and what isn't?

    How many levels of "official" are there? Official and released by WotC; officially endorsed and released by other publishers; other levels of official?

    Obviously, all the officially published WotC 3.0 and 3.5 books are.

    Online web articles on the WotC websites(s) are.

    The Dragon Compendium hardcover and Shackled City hardcover are officially endorsed?

    Dragon Magazine and Dungeon Magazine aren't as clear cut, I believe?

    The Dragonlance campaign setting book is; other 3E Dragonlance material appears not to be.

    Apparently, the 3E Diablo book is?

    Kalamar material genuinely confuses me. What's official, if any?

    AFAIK, none of the Ravenloft 3E material is?

    The fan produced Planescape and Athas material is not, I assume.

    There's other official WotC 3E material (Call of Cthulhu, d20 Modern etc. AFAIK, none of this, except for a small section in CoC, is designed for use with 3E D&D?

    Please help me understand and classify.

    Cheers - T
