Did they attempt to get them to take the content down by simply asking first? That would say a lot to me about the nature of this situation.As it stands, I'd say this smacks of...well it smacks of something that I can't say here without violating the Eric's Grandma rule.I will say that much if not all of this problem could have been eliminated with an actual written policy on fan websites. Seriously: in the time it took to draft the Cease and Desist an actual policy could have been drafted and posted which would eliminate the vast number of cases where it is an issue. As it stands now, this really sounds like the beginnings of an adversarial relationship with the fans that is not in WotC's best interest.I have used a number of these sites to generate cards for my use, based on books I've purchased. Even with that, I had planned to purchase the official cards when they came out because they're a fantastic idea that makes gaming better for me. Will I do that anymore? No. I'll just make my own homebrew cards and call it a day. And I'm not the only person who will do this. WotC needs some major damage control on this issue: I don't envy Scott's job in the next few weeks! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />--Steve</blockquote>
