If something isn't official license, well, it isn't official. The reason of making something official, or "canon" should i say is to provide a common ground which could be used to produce supplements building on it and even novels. My homebrew RL is not official, because, yes it didn't get the official D&D material stamp and that matters. Without that it's just fanfic. The outsourced 3e RL material was official, what you write for DMsG is not. If someone would get an official license for a setting, then publishes the material on DMsG, that's official license, what I put up, using the same setting is simply not. If you don't get the distinction, fine! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I already wrote down my problems with DMsG material, just a few posts earlier, won't do that again in length. You say A, I say B, we won't agree, I'm okay with that. If you don't care about my problems (quality control, playtesting, lack of coherency between products, setting canon as common ground, usability in organized play, etc.), then you just won't get my standpoint and that's fine also! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  For me DMsG, as it is now, and regardless of any specific publication's quality, is an attempt from WotC to do material, without really doing material. It's not outsourcing, it's taking a fee from you for the right to using their settings for your fanfic and publish it on their platform for money, instead on some obscure blog or fansite for free. It's a good idea, but it's just not real licensing. Yes it's a convenient solution for them for a lot of reasons. For example, they wouldn't have to taking into consideration anything on DMsG, when writing an AP and they own the rights for everything. It's just not enough for me, because I'm caring about system and story coherency between products and yes, I'm caring about setting canons. I'd also like to use the material I paid for anywhere, not just in a home game if the GM approves.Doesn't WotC manages the AL? Isn't AL an official WotC product?</blockquote>
