You can break all the rules and operate fine - at least currently, as WotC is only actively shutting down sites that copy content. If the sites are fine with the risk & the potential of losing some of their content, then that’s alright. Sites dedicated to specific campaign settings run the most risk, as they’re using far more trademarked terms, and WotC stopped adding “official fan sites” back in the early days of 3e. The WotC legal team could do horrible things to athas.org or FraternityOfShadows.com.At the very least you should look at what something like YouTube’s Terms and Conditions say about copyright and add a similar disclaimer. And maybe a “report” button to allow people to self-police. When dealing with user submitted content, you should make it easy for copyright holders to report abuse.But talking to a lawyer is always advisable. </blockquote>
