They could hire a Japanese team, maybe a videogame studio or a manga publisher for a new setting according to special sensibilities.The menace of the censorship in China is very serious, and too unpredictable and capricious. A collab with a local company is possible, but both sides will want to be the owner of the IP. Even if Hasbro was the legal onwer, somebody could publish a pirate/rip off/ersatz version, changing names and those things.* Let's remember Geography of Toril-Abeir was affected by the Sundering. This could be a good reason to explain the possible retcons, as if Vecna's machinations weren't enough.* I hope this example could be useful to explain it better. Let's imagine a Spanniard with her own point of view about the past, but other Spaniard has got a radically different opinion. If these wasn't enough now we add two more, children of Spanish emigrants, one of them born and raised in United Kingdom, and other in Germany. And now to end we add more foreign inmigrants living and working in Spain, one of them from Africa, and other from Germany. These have got different point of view, they can't agree and they are sincere about their opinion. * If I was Korean, for example, I would wellcome WotC using Korean culture as source of inspiration because this could help to promote Korean soft-power. I hope to have said it politely. * If in the next months or years something happen in our real life linked to China, then Chinese fantasy could become a taboo in the entertaiment industry. This could be playing the Russian roulette. You can imagine something like Games Workshop can't sell miniatures of Kislev army because now there is a war in Ukraine.</blockquote>
