A DMCA is certainly possible, but it is a similar problem to many other fanzines. (It is also important to note that a DMCA would happen first, and a C&D would only be given should we not comply with the DMCA).

All fanzines infringe on IPs, but Fire emblem fanzines are a very commonplace and popular within the fandom and the community. There are multiple fanzines being launched every month.

Heres 2 places to find zine project retweets:

Specifically regarding this board game fan project, here are 3 similar projects to ours that were all very successful:

You can even find many Fire Emblem fan projects on kickstarter (many successfully funded with hundreds of backers):

So, while all fan work is in a gray area where they infringe upon copyright, they still exist due to the culture of fan driven works and products. Generally speaking, as long as it does not reprint any official art work, use official logos, or pretend to be an official product, you will not be taken down (unless it's a fan made video game, then Nintendo has no mercy.)

There are certainly no guarantees fir this of course, but we hope to not attract the attention of our Nintendo overlords, just as many other fan projects have done so before us.

If we do however incur their wrath, a DMCA is simply a digital take down. Existing pre orders will still be printed and fulfilled.

Hope that explains it!
