    Names of places, people, & titles of books are examples of some things that can NOT be copyright.

    But they can be trademarked... well sometimes.
    I did a fairly good search - but Ill guarantee it was not comprehensive - and other than Greyhawk itself I did not find any of the other place names as being Trademarks of the Wizards...

    Problems may also be had from the direction of Gary's widow. The man's own children don't seem to be able to use the family name (i.e. Gygax Magazine which was ended after her lawsuit apparently)... so the water may be very muddy indeed.

    Yes, but Trademark and Copyright law are very different.

    They are different - but they can both be used to prevent people from using your property.
    It could be likened to saying that Armed Guards are different to Guard Dogs...

    Just curious is it illegal to share Greyhawk content mods that are community-created? I mean, really for personal use in my own campaign I've been rebuilding the WoG-Boxed set and City as well from the scratch in FGU to run with Pathfinder 1E. Am I allowed to share that with the community if it's freely given not for money?

    Classic Bundle has Greyhawk modules set in the world of Oerth.

    Just like my titles informs, many of the classic titles are modules set in the World of Oerth. And the titles are some of the best, most popular D&D adventures of all time, such as Tomb of Horrors, Scourge of the Slave Lords, Hill Giant Steadings, White Plume Mountain, and more. The amount of material they have for FG will be enough for a long campaign run if you tied only the titles offered from this website.
