This is the first of three posts I've authored. Some of you won't like it, and it will leave you with many unanswered questions. The answers are coming. https://gsllc.wordpress.com/2019/08/12/part1statblocks/

Part 1: Copyrightability of #RPG Stat Blocks #DnD #copyright #iplaw – Frylock's Gaming & Geekery
I received an email from Wizards of the Coast (“WotC”) demanding that I take down my one-stop stat blocks. Unsurprisingly, the email didn’t provide an actual argument, but it raises some important issues as to what’s copyrightable and what isn’t.

I publish music too. Almost all of my albums are all original material or public domain. Still, you have to learn about copyrights. I am glad to see we are finally getting some songs entering the public domain again. The almost 100 years still under copyright encompasses almost the entire history of blues and jazz.
