I have a question (that's actually been percolating in my mind since the Pirate contest) that I was hoping a mod could answer.
I'm aware that, except in contests where it's explicitly allowed, team entries are forbidden. But what about entries that (with permission) in some way *depend* on another poster's previously posted work?
For example, suppose a particular contest is to design an NPC, and I want to give my NPC a character class that was designed by PosterX over in Homebrew (or maybe even in a previous contest)? Assuming I get PosterX's permission, and make it clear in the entry that the class design is PosterX's, not mine, may I do this? Or does that still count as a team entry?
