Hey George,
I'd be happy to work with you on something if you have an interest. Last Aug we sent a couple emails and you mentioned an interest in an Impiltur map; I offered to help but never heard back. Whenever you want to chat about it just shoot me a message. finesse_16@hotmail.com

@ George Krashos
Can you legally make maps of WotCs intellectual property and then charge money for it? I know you have had a business relationship with them in the past, but is that still extant? |

Mike Schley does, but I suspect it was part of the deal when they commissioned him -- "make these maps for our books, and then you can sell them yourself."
And going through the DM's Guild would make it legal, too. |

In general as I understand copyright law, you can not copy a map. There however appears nothing that prevents others making a map from available data.
There was one lawsuit concerning copyright of a map. https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/03/18/290236647/an-imaginary-town-becomes-real-then-not-true-story discusses it some.
So it clearly appears it is possible to make maps, just not copy them. One should check with an attorney though if planing on income from any made map. Might be required to state source of map data for example. |

"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Through the DMs Guild I can. Not planning to sell maps on the side.
