PPP sees the product as a dual-offering, one for the collector side with all of its commentary, original reproductions of text and maps, asides, cogent historical references from the time, etc.
The other is as a playable product produced in some degree or the other, and that form will of course be dictated by demand, with direction favoring polls such as these.
Within the context of the adventure offering, in whatever lesser or greater form that this gets offered to the consumer, we have direct reference to the nine, with names. This is a major encounter area as well. This will,
IMO, have to resculpted. The commentary I am already aware can be done as a retrospective without worry, and we make no claims to
WotC's
IP, nor will any of their TM/IP appear on the cover of the proposed work, but still the same, that begs a big question when such an encounter is presented for use in a gaming format. That would be a direct violation of
IP in that context and so PPP must seek a work around for the "adventure" part, that's the bottom line.
