Dude, your going overboard with that copyright thing. It's ONLY if you SELL those things!
people want more content added to d&d, and I'm clearly the only one that's really taking more initiative presently.
As long as it stays in the community, it should be safe.
But I have a proposal on that. 4 Stages.
1. private 2. public 3. safe <- requires enough approval. > this would be classed as popular 'fanfic' 4. distributed <--- can only be achieved if you rework the license with wizards, submitting such to them, and the products don't break the laws.
The report button would differentiate between local and distribution. Fair enough?
Local STAYS in the community. Even allowing new kinds of equips and such.
This statement is meant to be both provocative and condescending. Look at these pathetic huddled masses in their private and closed games, cringing behind the policy of no homebrews and no custom content. This is an insult and injury even to fire types. HEED THIS! Your better off playing rpgmaker. It's everything this place wants to be when it grows up. Seriously. Otherwise, good luck, they will overdo things. All because of safety and security... kor.
I'm not 100% sure on whom you are addressing, however if you are referring to homebrew on D&D Beyond, we have set Homebrew Publishing Rules which is what the moderator team evaluate reports on for homebrew. If there is a concern with a particular homebrew, you can always reach out to a moderator by Reporting the homebrew creation.
On the topic of copyright, we cannot change our guidelines and allow breaking of copyright. Everyone using D&D Beyond are also held to Twitch.tv TOS.
Are you talking about distributing your homebrew content for money? You can totally do that on sites like The DMs Guild and Drive Thru RPG. You can't do it here because this site isn't designed for that. It's designed for selling digital versions of WotC licensed content, and for sharing of homebrewed content. If you want to sell your content, and it doesn't violate copyright or IP on D&D, then go wild over on the sites designed for it
He's talking about one of his homebrew creatures which he shared in one of the other topics: a fluffy white winged creature creatively named a Moogle, including a picture of Square Enix' copyrighted creation with the very same name and physical qualities.
That post has since been edited with a new creature and a note that he knew the moogle would violate copyright.
If you want context to most of what Reizon posts, just prepare yourself for a journey and check out his post/thread history. I'm honestly impressed with how calm and patient the majority of mods have been in reply to his, eclectic vocabulary.
Might be interesting to see what he classifies me as. He has a firm belief that everyone has an alignment associated with their combination and elements, such as: "You are WISE but not LOGICAL so you are WATER-FIRE-DARKNESS, and that's fair and reasonable but NOT BALANCED."

Oh, well there was no context leading to that. How bizarre.

based on that, you may be earth, but your name and avatar say otherwise. still, the earth+war combo is fortress/guardian, and it's a lead.
maybe lightning + earth + war? That's stamina type. (usually comes in 26 with me)

I'm not so sure, Reizon's spectrum has ruined classical elements for me.
