[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6357323, member: 61026"] "Legally": don't use trademarked or copyrighted words. That is, don't say "Planescape," say something else instead. ([I]But IANAL.[/I]) The same applies equally to any other identifiable trade dress: paraphrase it, or come up with something better. Don't say "Vergadain," say 'Merchant King," or "Prime Dealer."
