Writing a module using their trademarked game system is not. It may sound like a thin line, but in the publishing business it is a super highway of law.Here is another way to look at. You have a great idea for a car. So you design your car but you have no way to get a powertrain for it. So you copy the best GM powertrain and build your car. On the outside, you car looks nothing like any GM on the road, but its guts are 100% GM. Guess who is gonna get sued off the planet?Or lets say you want to make an expansion of Monopoly. Go ahead and try it without permission from Monopoly. You are lawyer-bait.Your post was not argumentative in the least. People inside the publishing world get confused about copyright and trademarks all the time.
