Judges Guild and the Wilderlands

Yeah, that remains the dungeon I have the fondest memories of. (Some of the others, unsurprisingly for the era, were just "OK, you open the door and find a room with 100 level 8 thieves. Roll for initiative.")

That sounds awesome hahaha.

...like Robin Hood or Geek myths.

Geek myths, like The Head of Vecna, or Eric and the Dread Gazebo?

That sounds awesome hahaha.

I just spoiled 99 percent of Thieves of Fortress Badabaskor.

I think in most folks mind, the fact that Lovecraft is dead and his IP is (arguably) in the Public Domain makes a big difference here. He, and his estate, get no support from use of the IP.

Not really. Still theorically fruit from the poison tree. Your STILL using his works.

More likely hes long dead has more to do with it

That's literally exactly what he said.

Missed that part and only saw arguable open ip.

Its alot less open IP and more a dead man.
To be frank if the IP had to be licensed from his estate, companies still would. Depsite lovecrafts views.

Any time someone starts insisting someone is definitely, really dead, I feel the need to check the locks on my doors and windows.

Almost all of HPL's work has exited copyright protections due to age. A good chunk of his contemporaries' works have, as well..

Bledso's work is all still under copyright, and if it's used, Bledso is entitled to compensation.

I believe you are in North America. (If not, humour me for a second) Do you eat food grown there? All the land is effectively stolen. All the food grown is thus tainted.

And if you are in Europe the Indo -European speakers there now stole the land from the Early European Farmers. Who stole it from the Western Hunter Gatherers.
