[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3757490, member: 5143"] It won't happen for a number of reasons. The biggest one being that the contract that all authors signed when they wrote mods for LG(in Year 3 through Year 8) said that they were giving WOTC rights to use the adventures for purposes of Living Greyhawk for a 2 year long period and then, afterwards, the rights to the adventure returned to the authors to do with as they would. It also said that WOTC granted the author the rights to use IP of WOTC while the adventure was in use in LG. So, what this means is that almost all the adventures produced belong to the authors who wrote them, not WOTC. WOTC is not allowed to publish them or do anything with them after the end of the campaign. The authors themselves can republish them, however, they are not allowed to use any names of cities, places, or people who live in Greyhawk. Plus there are probably a couple of hundred authors, each of which would need to be contacted individually to ask them to use the rights to their mods. The year 1 and 2 mods(from what I've been told) were sold to WOTC and WOTC owns the full rights to them. However, it would be mostly pointless to release them now as they are all written in 3.0 rules. [/QUOTE]
