[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 7748719, member: 6879661"] The metaphor for breaking up WOCs massive intellectual property into pieces for consumption by a large number of small individual writers is fair I think. Though granted piranhas get a bad rep. Apologies if you took offense. DM guild writers get a shade more than 1% profit though, so it is difficult to take your statement at face value. If it isn’t about the money, posters share conversions and homebrew all the time on a not-for-profit basis. With the phrase ‘manage but they did not create’ you seem to be suggesting that WOC legal ownership but not moral ownership over their IP. I’m not sure that gives you any better moral right to be able to sell the stuff. As we have seen already above, WOCs intention to continue releasing Settings in a form akin to Curse of Strahd seems to be the case. They clearly aren’t leaving things to oblivion. [/QUOTE]
