Talk:Wild Hunt, Variant (3.5e Creature)

How's This for Irony

I just got a peek at the MMV, and they have their own version of Wild Hunt. —Sledged (talk) 12:06, 22 August 2007 (MDT)

Ouch. Is it like this one? Do we need to re-name this one? --Green Dragon 21:03, 22 August 2007 (MDT)

No, "wild hunt" is public domain. No one can claim any rights to it. And the MMV stats are completely different from this ones. —Sledged (talk) 21:17, 22 August 2007 (MDT)

Oh, whew. However, would you recommend that we rename this to remove possible confusion between the two? --Green Dragon 21:19, 22 August 2007 (MDT)

Not sure. I think that's either your call or the author's call (or both). Suppose users were to post stats for the mimsy borogove, rath, tove, jubjub bird, and bandersnatch (all based on Lewis Carroll's work, which is public domain). If WotC later decided to post their version of these creatures would you want the the pages renamed to avoid confusion? —Sledged (talk) 21:48, 22 August 2007 (MDT)

Thats a bit of a loaded question :). However, I think it would be best to wait on the authors call. --Green Dragon 21:49, 22 August 2007 (MDT)

I did notice the Wild Hunt in my MMV (got it on the release date), but I didn't figure I needed to go about changing anything since my version and the WotC version were so disperate. That and the version I made was available well before the Wizards version. At any rate, I don't think changing it is really possible, but I wouldn't be opposed to a note at the top of the page mentioning the coincidence to help clear up any confusion. --Rakankou 20:54, 23 August 2007 (MDT)

Would you like to add the note or have someone else add it? --Green Dragon 12:54, 26 August 2007 (MDT)

How's that look? --Rakankou 11:26, 27 August 2007 (MDT)

I do not think it is bad — it may be a tad large, however it does not really matter. Also, it may look better on the bottom of the page... just an idea. --Green Dragon 22:28, 29 August 2007 (MDT)

Now that I see it a little smaller and at the bottom of the page, I agree. Hope that works. --Rakankou 10:14, 31 August 2007 (MDT)

Looks good! Good work. --Green Dragon 23:48, 5 September 2007 (MDT)

I added "Variant" onto the name and removed the message box. This should stop any confusion without an obtrusive message box. --Green Dragon 16:01, 26 November 2008 (MST)

The Challenge

Just wanted to say you did a awesome job on this, and I am glad you took the challenge. I prefer this one over the MMV one. -- Flession 18:26, 11 October 2007 (MDT)
