If it wasn't publicly released, yes. Then it's considered private use and you'd probably get away with it. The money factor is utterly irrelevant. They're not interested in suing you - they just want you to stop using their copyright. All they do is send you a cease and desist letter - ordering you to stop working on something involving their property. They may also contact any webhost you have, who could then pull your site (if you had one)

You have no argument or legal defence for this - if you are using someone else's intellectual property, then you have no right to do so, whether you're making money or not.

This is based purely in fact - it has happened to many mod groups that started off using someone else's property.
