D&D 5E Will you enter the Dungeon Master Challenge?

That most contests do this still doesn't make it right, or ethical.

That bolded clause should only apply to compensated winners, and never to any non-winning entrant.

I wonder why just that short list of countries?

@Helldritch upthread pointed out why Quebec is often left out of these things.

Other countries have laws too!

I imagine that their lawyers reviewed their primary markets to confirm whether the local regulations surrounding competitions and creator's rights were compatible with what they had planned. But it's not practical to understand every jurisdiction in the world; and safer to just exclude them rather than find out later that you own someone money because your disclaimer is incompatible with the Moldovan Copyright Protection Act (1996).

It's meant to prevent frivolous lawsuits when someone decides that WotC using a behir in a tunnel years from now is "clearly" ripping off their unremembered Dungeon Master Challenge entry.

I think everyone would prefer to live in a world where companies didn't have to behave this way.

I imagine if the finalists have been contacted ahead of time, they've been asked to keep quiet about it.

See my post above. I thought it was 330 EST...

Not me. I Guess I will will just... exit.

I came in 11th. Well, they didn't say so or tell me or anything, but I'm pretty sure that's what must have happened.
