Thus we have 5+ rule sets all with the same D&D name. You are not buying the D&D brand when you buy Level Up 5e or another “clone” nor are you directly giving any money to Hasbro. I admit validity to your argument that buying any kind of 5e products might indirectly support Hasbro. I’m just not sure that the harm caused to independent publishers by refusing to buy all things 5e is worth the slight pinprick you might be giving Hasbro.</blockquote>
