The two other finalists got $20K.WOTC only owned the ones that it paid money for. It has no claim on the thousands of others. That's why Dawnforge could be published by another company; even though it got to the semi-finalist stage (there were only 11 of those), it was still owned by the guy who submitted it, so he could shop it around afterwards. The only people who got "screwed" were the ones who got paid, and they don't seem to be complaining.I agree that if the idea you submitted was your One True Idea that you had poured your life into, it might be a bad deal. If it was an idea that you thought up specifically to sell to WOTC, then was a great deal.All of this is moot, though, since its unlikely to ever be repeated.</blockquote>
