We heard you like D&D, so we hope you enjoy this baby hippogriff!
Now, on to your question! In the case where Dungeons & Dragons or World of Darkness OCs come from campaigns which use a default setting (e.g., The Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Ravenloft), we will not be accepting applications for those characters. The reason for this is that those settings contain canon characters one might wish to app (e.g., Strahd or Drizzt) who may then be obligated to have CR with that character, which would then fall under our 'Canon/fandom OC' banner and thus would be ineligible.
However, both of these systems can and do often facilitate games that set in original settings that were not developed by Wizards of the Coast. These OCs would be considered appable by our standards, as they would never cross over into a situation where they'd need to be acknowledged by a canon character. If you feel that your D&D or WoD setting is distinct from the 'out of the box' settings provided for prefabricated campaigns, that would be perfectly permissible.
