Say I wanted to create (and sell) an original design of the D&D 5e Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and some original cartography of Forgotten Realms locations. This would mostly be a reprint but original form and artwork. I understand that OGL doesn't cover this because the published books are under standard copyright law; Source and Source - Section 18-g

If this is correct on this, based on this, I need to submit a request to them and get permission before producing anything.

Does this sound right? Am I missing something that makes this ok via OGL? Has anyone ever done this that knows the process which should be followed?

EDIT

Thanks for the answers everyone! I mentioned 5e here as the ideal case. But, really this is more a collectable aimed at long time fans and DMs, so 3e works just as well. It appears it may be more realistic for me to do this with the 3.5e SRD and just as interesting. I will post a similar question and link it here to discuss that.
