If WOTC sent you a letter tomorrow, having read not a single word of your project, and they politely asked you to abandon it, you'd abandon it. No threat of lawsuit, no strongly worded letter, just a "Please, we'd rather you not pursue this..."If WOTC has a serious problem with your Fantasy Saga Edition, whether they are right or wrong, they'll find a way to lean on you, and you'll fold. Let's be realistic: Neither BFG nor Samardan is going to be the first to step up and challenge the OGL in court.Avoid copyright issues and I don't think you have much to worry about with respect to derivative content.That's not legal advice, just practical advice.</blockquote>
