[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 5379467, member: 20914"] Game rules aren't copyrightable. ;) Wizard's doesn't create the backstory's for any of my characters, I do. I generally store that information on the character sheet I use. I've created things from 'me Ugh the Barbarian' to 6 page family histories on characters I've created. Nor do they own 'deva' as a concept because it's been around much longer than D&D. ;) And no, they wouldn't be legally within their rights to any of it if I create something. What I referred to was a change in the Terms of Service/Use of their forums a few years back during the Gleemax start. One of them specifically stated on owning it all on their forums if you posted it and agreed to the new ToS when you logged in. So I would advise anyone using the Online CB to carefully read the ToS they have for your information you put in. Especially those of you talking about putting your houseruled information into it. Their actions won't really affect me much as I won't be using it. Me and the deadtrees will do just fine on our own. [/QUOTE]
