I appreciate any forum member politely reminding folks about the forum rules, which do include the respect of copyright. In this case, the designs were commissioned by us and licensed for free use, and do not re-use any part of the Catan artwork other than noting that the pieces was designed to be used with the board game of that name. We also obtained written permission from the Catan rightsholders to ensure that there was no possibility of improper use.
Professionally, Glowforge exists in part to help designers make a living from their craft, and we work hard to support that. Personally, as a hobbyist board game designer myself, the last thing I want to do is see people ripping off board games!
Fortunately, that’s not what was happening here, but I appreciate the concern.
