OH VERY MUCH AGREE on the WOC observation.... even when they have no basis for it....
I have a friend (shameless Plug for Casey below) that published some work they did as a collective on
The World of Greyhawk- Bandit Kingdoms... and they went after him...
Now understand, he was a non-paid lead member of what was called the "triad" back in what was termed "Living-Greyhawk" in the early 2000's. And all he did was assemble the work many did under one binded book so to speak. He credited them, and basically the cost to print was a wash vs profit, but WOC filed anyway... after 3 different meetings through arbitration, they finally pulled the suit....
Ironically the only ones that would use the perioditcal would be Greyhawk users, which facilitates WOC and their IP and product.... They were just butt hurt that he was able to assemble the various originating authors when they couldn't.
But in this lawsuit happy world we live in, you can sue anyone for anything .... logic and reason to be determined later... *snark*
For all you Greyhawkers following along....
