Note that I am not a lawyer, so this is strictly uninformed opinion.My first thought on reading that concern is that you would probably have to avoid a pre-generated world and pre-generated adventures, but you would probably be okay otherwise. As we all know, copyright does not apply to rules, only the expression of them... and that we wouldn't be duplicating.My second thought was that we'd probably be okay in any event - copyright infringement does not require a financial aspect to exist, and since we obviously have the right to use the material in our home games, and indeed at Cons and Gamedays (where, in fact, the organisers can charge for access), the same should probably apply here.My third thought was that White Wolf, a few years back, did try to impose a license on any and all game groups who used their games in an environment where money changed hands (for DM services, for admission, or even just for snacks!). They were persuaded of the error of their ways, but that was probably due to the massive backlash than for any other reason.My fourth thought was that perhaps you would be best served by ensuring your game was OGL-compliant. This would have the side effect of making pro-DMs easy to spot, as they'd all have the OGL tattooed on their backs.But, as I said, IANAL, so I don't have any actual answers to share.</blockquote>
