[3.5e] Dragons of Krynn and Dragonspawn: Through the publications, legitimacy

[NiteCyper]

Is the Dragons of Krynn publication legitimate? Specifically, to Dragonspawn? I would assume that it is legitimate, if not for rebuttals made in this thread ("White Dragonspawn changed/nerfed") that I had in my notes. Bestiary of Krynn, Revised was republished in 2006. Dragons of Krynn was published in 2007. Although what I'm reading lacks legal information after the cover and before the Table of Contents like D&D products normally do, the back cover has the Wizards of the Coast official product/license/whatever seal.

It is officially licensed material, so perfectly legal in any game that allows such.

Specifically they are 3rd party material, like green ronin and white wolf. Only the first couple of Dragonlance books are official wizards stuff.

Just read through the credits (I'm currently out of state) on the first few pages, and it'll say if its officially licensed or not.

I'm pretty sure it is, since I had typed stuff up from them in for my templates

WotC only published the campaign setting, the rest are either licensed (which is about the same as dragon mag) or 3rd party... something like that anyway.

This. I've got several of the books in front of me, and only the Campaign setting was written and published by WotC. The others are all written by Sovereign Press, but officially licensed by WotC.

A.K.A. second-party?

A.K.A. second-party?

Yes, but fully legal as far as WotC is concerned.

Whereas third-party is not, since they don't get any money

You could find a third-party source to do just about anything now-a-days.
