[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8346076, member: 18182"] Nope. You can publish fan-design without using the OGL or DMsGuild . . . you can just release it for free. You can't plagiarize text or use artwork you don't have rights too, but you can publish your fan-design for any D&D setting (or anything, really). Of course, a lot of fan-design does cross boundaries when it comes to trade dress and art . . . And, as covered in this thread, before the DMs Guild was a thing, WotC designated an official fan-site for each of their classic settings. The DL Nexus was that site for Dragonlance. They were given explicit permission to publish content for their respective settings. The details on how this differed from simply publishing fan-design, which doesn't need a license, and whether these "official fan-site" statuses are still in place . . . I don't know. Clearly the DL Nexus is publishing under the assumption they still are the Dragonlance official fan-site under that earlier agreement . . . and I'm assuming they're right unless somebody from WotC states otherwise.
