If you produce more puppies (e.g. a new edition, or Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, or Curse of Strahd), those are all yours. Of course, if people like the look of your puppies there's nothing stopping me from breeding mine in that direction.No, you were not feeding my puppy. You might argue that you running a much bigger kennel means there's a commercial basis for a good pet food store in town and that makes it easier for me to feed my puppy, but I still buy my own food for my dogs and puppies (in this analogy, feeding and breeding more dogs are me writing adventures and sourcebooks and maybe even new rules systems that can be traced back to yours).No, you giving me the puppy was part of a deal we made. I could not advertise the puppy or its spawn as having been part of your kennel, although I was still required to maintain documentation of their descent. I was also required to allow others to use my puppies as breeding stock. And back when I got the puppy, you specifically told me I could use it to make money or build my own kennel. It's just that now you're unhappy with my kennel's success.If you think that other guy is treating his puppies badly, there are laws against that kind of thing.I'm not asking you for more puppies. I'm demanding you don't interfere with the kennel business I've already got going, that I bred from a puppy I got from you.Morrus knows more about his reasons for making Level Up than I do, but to me it seems more that it took a few years to recognize where 5e's flaws were and then set about making a quality product fixing those flaws.</blockquote>
