    DnD fan made stuff is covered under the OGL, which allows players to modify and create their own content under the 5e ruleset. That’s why many creators can produce (and monetize) their own stuff without having to pay a license

      That doesn’t mean Larian has authorization from Wizards of the Coast to release modding tools allowing for custom content to be created easily.

        I mean, they ARE releasing modding tools. And from their Website , it’s clear they also have no intention of preventing mods from outside their pipeline. Also, they don’t have to have ‘authorization’ from WotC to release modding tools FOR THEIR OWN GAME (but they do have to respect certain guidelines)

        Changes that won’t be officially supported within our pipeline, like scripting changes or NSFW mods that wouldn’t pass the moderation process due to platform-specific restrictions, may still be packed locally with mod.io’s toolset and uploaded to other mod distribution platforms>
