Illithids, huh? I am surprised Wizards of the Coast has not sued you guys over that name.

Perhaps this is a problem, dom 1 probably didnt have enough market exposure to show up on their radar.

Well... MM removed all star trek references (some system names and such mostly) from SE when they went from SE3 to SE4. Perhaps you guys might want to consider doing the same? At least stuff that was created by other companies, not just borrowed from various mythologies and such. Just some food for thought. I don't know if WOTC would actually sue you, but you never know.

There are a few minor things in other places as well that is shamelessly borrowed from other games or products. If it is a problem it shouldn't be to troublesome to fix though. I thought this wouldnt pose a problem since compared with for example VGA planets very overt ripoffs of Star Trek and Star Wars dominions is virtually unsullied by plagiaranism.

Again, I have no idea what the chances of being sued are.

The H.P. Lovecraft estate would have something to say if Wizards of the Coast tried to get uppity. All that "tentacled horror" stuff is straight out of his mythos.

I wouldn't sweat it, honestly.
