[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 4884795, member: 3867"] Okay, so to be certain I have my ducks in a row here... 1. We're basically saying that this policy only applies to the kit. If I don't use the kit, then none of those rules apply. 2. Fan sites that don't use the kit are in the same nebulous gray area they've always been in, so it should be business as usual. 3. As long as I'm not attempting to make a profit off of WotC's IP, I should be okay. Bare bones basics version there, but I think you catch my meaning. Is this all a fair assessment? I know it may seem like I'm being a bit too worried, and perhaps so. Reason is, the Dragonlance Nexus is a huge community resource, one that supports Dragonlance novels and games. We do our best to respect WotC's IP, and have even been cited by Scott Rouse and the novel department as a good example of a fan site. My fear, though, is that the "suits" won't see it that way and will get a little nostalgic for the late 90s TSR days. ;) I've got some folks in the industry doing a little homework for me at GenCon. Depending on what they say will depend on any final decisions I make. However, I would like to be able to continue on as usual, which I believe benefits WotC and their IP. [/QUOTE]
