[QUOTE="bmfrosty, post: 9323344, member: 6788547"] Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I seem to have attracted quite a lot of vitriol and accusation for the last 24 hours or so when I've been sleeping, traveling, or otherwise occupied. How do you know - those who suggest that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that WotC owns all settings (except the ones that they don't) outright with no legal complications whatsoever that there are no legal complications? Given this assertion, why do you believe that they've dealt with different settings in different ways (the different ways being yes you can, and no you can't) for dmsguild? Really? The system is basically set up for them to take a cut. If I write a document that references Eberron or Ravenloft and sell it there, and they get a cut, but if I do the same about Dark Sun, it's not allowed? Why might they do that other than a legal complication to their ownership? They very clearly say that they you can use specific ones but not others. [URL]https://help.dmsguild.com/hc/en-us/articles/12776909822615-Content-and-Format-Questions[/URL] At the same time, they'll also sell me a copy of the 2e Dark Sun boxed set - [URL="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17169/Dark-Sun-Boxed-Set-2e"]Dark Sun Boxed Set (2e) - Wizards of the Coast | AD&D 2nd Ed. | Dark Sun | AD&D 2nd Ed. | Dungeon Masters Guild[/URL] The answer that it isn't in question or that I don't know what I'm talking about is not compelling in the least. I think the only thing that I can say is that they've been cleared by legal to allow publication of the titles incorporating the settings they've listed in dmsguild. [/QUOTE]
