[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9453709, member: 6801228"] I'm not sure how to explain this more than pointing out that you are looking at this from a legal and sales perspective. Which makes some sense, you are an independent game author, you sell games. So the perspective seems natural to you. But... it isn't how I approach the game. Here is a supplment making DnD work for an Equestria game [ATTACH type="full"]379074[/ATTACH] New classes, races, items, spells, feats, everything you need to change your game into that.

Because even if they made it so that you could not legally sell these products... they could never stuff everything that was made into a box and make it so that you could ONLY play DnD with the ruleset. Because you could always do more, you just couldn't make money off of it. I personally have used the rules to run a System Apocalypse game set on Modern Earth multiple times.
