Or rather just preventing use of the D&D IP by third parties by withholding approvals?Im a big fan of the GF9 sets. I have all the demon lords, the underdark sets and a lot of the dragons minis. I always thought there work was exemplary.However this looks like sub contractors - (translators) have not been producing exemplary work and it’s caused embarrassment to WOC. Now the relationship has soured.To be fair GF9 seem to be using their own set of clauses to justify why one of their subcontractors was allowed to produce shoddy work. Have you ever used a printers and a glaring spelling mistake was in the finished product and they say, well tough we sent you the proof. Yes they are correct legally, but it doesn’t stop it being frustrating and results in bad feeling. Particularly when the printers put the thing together in the first place.There is big money from the D&D brand and other companies are set to make a lot of money too. I’m not surprised third parties in one form or another are relying on legal action to try and protect that. The end result will probably be that approval clauses end up with more meat on their bones to account for these eventualities. However I’m not sure that when relationships break down like this it’s particularly healthy for them to be forced to continue. Better to settle out of court and start fresh.</blockquote>
