Hi. I have created two projects so far and I have become more aware of copyrights stuff. I have an idea to modify one of the official quests. Is it ok to copy-paste lot of stuff with little changes? To be more exact I want to publish modified version of Lost Mines of Phandelver adventure. To get better idea how I write stuff check my signature. I am using Homebrewery platform. In computer gaming this would be called "modding".
I sent a message to Wizards directly. I hope we get some kind of permission as community. I am not planning to sell anything, just publish it with homebrewery platform.
From their fan content policy then, the catch to watch out for is:
The key is that it is your creation. It should go without saying, but Fan Content does not include the verbatim copying and reposting of Wizards’ IP (e.g., freely distributing D&D® rules content or books, creating counterfeit/proxy Magic: The Gathering® cards, etc.), regardless of whether that content is distributed for free.
You CANNOT take LMoP, change a few things around, then publish the whole thing for free on Homebrewery.
You CAN take LMoP, change a few things around, and publish JUST YOUR CHANGES on Homebrewery.
ie. There is an additional faction called the "GreenHands." Toblen Stonehill will talk to them about joining after they clear the goblin cave. He offers the following additional services ...

I got short answer. They don't give any special permissions and all details are included in fan content policy: https://company.wizards.com/fancontentpolicy
