Yes, it does also allow them to purposefully take your design and turn it
into a set without paying you a dime (even if you didn’t win), but mostly
this looks like pretty typical CYA legalese. There was a CCG that I used to
collect and play, and the company that designed the game would accept
submitted ideas, but only if two criteria were met. The first was that
whenever you sent them a submission, you preceeded the submitted idea with
an exact copy of their standard boilerplate surrender of rights. The second
was that you couldn’t have posted the idea online before submitting it to
them (and possibly until after the idea was accepted as well).

thanks for the response, david.
i understand and accept the rules. my main point was the cheap notion of
‘let’s have a contest to gather LOTS of ideas for (relatively) free rather
than pay our on-staff designers to get creative’.

“We” have two of our own, at least, working as designers (in Pierre N and Jamie
B) so I think there is little danger of the designers running out of creative
juices.
But ya.
