When the comics from 1929 enter the public domain in 2025, only the stuff from 1929 enters the public domain. Anything published later, 1930-1967, is still under copyright. Any characters, plots, character traits, etc that were published in 1930 or later are still under copyright. The game was based on the complete franchise, most of which will still be under copyright for decades to come. It will be another 38 years before the comics published in 1967 enter the public domain. Once that happens, then WotC can publish their game without asking permission. But then anyone could publish a game on the Buck Rogers comics.</blockquote>
