+Dear Copyright Agent:
+
+We are counsel for Wizards of the Coast LLC (“Wizards”), owner of the
+copyrights and trademarks for the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® roleplaying game and
+related publications. For your reference, Wizards’ D&D site is located at
+http://dnd.wizards.com/dungeons-and-dragons. We write concerning
+“Astranauta’s” Github repository at the following URL:
+
+https://astranauta.github.io/5etools.html
+
+Wizards' DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (“D&D”) game is a fantasy role-playing game in
+which each player is assigned a specific character to play. Before the game
+begins, each player creates his or her player character by choosing amongst
+different powers or "ability scores,” races, character class (occupation),
+an alignment (a moral and ethical outlook), and a number of powers, skills
+and feats to enhance the character's basic abilities. All of these details
+are the entirely fictional, creative, and copyrighted property of Wizards,
+and are found in the D&D core rule books (the MONSTER MANUAL®, PLAYER’S
+HANDBOOK® and DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE®), supplemental rule books and other
+copyrighted online and printed publications including *Dungeon* magazine
+and *Dragon* magazine.
+
+The Astranauta Github repository is a web-based set of utilities that
+incorporates and allows a player to search for every rules element of the 5
+th edition (“5e”) of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game, including details on
+classes, backgrounds, feats, races, monsters (“bestiary”), spells and other
+detail that are the entirely fictional, creative, and copyrighted property
+of Wizards and are culled from the various D&D 5th edition publications,
+including a book, *Xanather’s Guide to Everthing,™* that was just published
+last Friday.
+
+I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described
+above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner,
+or its agent, or the law. I have taken fair use into consideration.
+
+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this
+notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am
+authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is
+allegedly infringed."
+
+I confirm that I have read Github’s Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown
+Notice:
+https://help.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice/
+.
+
+We therefore ask that Github remove or disable access to the Github
+repository at https://astranauta.github.io/5etools.html.
+
+Thank you for your attention to this matter. This letter does not purport
+to be a complete statement of the facts or the law and is without prejudice
+to Wizards’ legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved.
+
+Sincerely yours,
