I’d been wondering what folks like Keith Baker would say and do. Creators whose best-known works are owned by TSR/WOTC/Hasbro, and who still gain income (of some sort—DMs Guild, future novel contracts, etc.) via those IPs.
What I’d like to see Keith Baker do is:
-like he described: firmly ditch any Eberron work which directly brings even one cent of income to WOTC. But answering Eberron FAQs, etc. would be sweet.
-Go full on with your Frontiers setting.
-Strip out, salvage, and ‘convert’ all of your DMs Guild content and website lore that you can.
-For the contuinity buffs like me, throw in some deftly-worded pointers into your new setting which hint and affirm that the two worlds are related—like Gary’s conception of how Oerth and post-TSR Yarth and Aerth were a continuum of related parallel worlds. Of course do this in way that is not actually a copyright violation.
-Consider converting (or paying someones to convert) your things into multiple Open rules-sets. (A5E, PF2, etc.)
-Gather an alliance of any and all individuals who have ever done paid work for TSR/WOTC, and make a new shared Alumni Polyverse composed of all their fully owned settings. As an TSR/WOTC Alumni meta-setting which is complementary to the ORC initiative.
Just some ideas.
Thanks for your creative integrity.
