Second question: is the Fraternity OKAY with this? Or am I going to wake up to find you all standing over my bed naked except for some animal masks, with sacrificial knives in your hands?

So, if I wanted to take the adventure To Granny's House that I wrote for QTR 21, adjust the stats for 5e (and possibly a different level range), maybe change a few details and/or some names, I'll probably be okay?

Well, this was scheduled to happen anyway.

No. There won't be animal masks and we will use spells.Jimsolo wrote: Or am I going to wake up to find you all standing over my bed naked except for some animal masks, with sacrificial knives in your hands?
If it makes you feel better, three out of four people don't wake up.

You retain the rights to everything we published on QtR. You can do whatever you want with the work.Jimsolo wrote:So, what is the legality/ethics of submitting an adventure or using a person, place, or thing we have previously had published in QTR?
By posting on the DMs Guild you give them exclusive rights to that work (with "work" being the PDF or document being sold, including derivative works), but how this applies to previously published works is not clear, since they're not technically derivative.
If you're updating and expanding the adventure, revising the edition and adding in assorted fixes/improvements then you probably shouldn't have much of a problem. Really make it a better piece and it shouldn't be an issue.
Really, as a fan publication, we're tiny and not really something that competes with DriveThru/DMsGuild.
