Fans! RPG Sourcebook and Character Sheet.

Postby Bozeman » Mon Aug 13, 2012 9:49 pm

Just wanted to remind the three people who might still check this forum that I'm running a Fans! RPG at Gen Con this coming Friday at noon. Check the other thread for more details.

I did want to share this final version of the Fans! PDQ# rulebook. As I don't own the rights to either Fans! or PDQ#, please don't sell this. PDQ# is a free download, and so it's not stealing as long as I don't claim it as my own work (except the few paragraphs I added) and if I don't make money. So, feel free to have your own Fans! adventures. If you want to print it, the Character sheet is supposed to be the last page, but I couldn't add it, so just add it yourself.

That's true, but only technically.

It's not stealing, because it is copyright infringement instead, which is a different area of law.

And yes, it doesn't matter either if you don't claim it as your own work or if you don't make any money. It is still copyright infringement (but a type of copyright infringement either ignored or tolerated by many content creators).

I'm assuming that unless T says otherwise, this type of infringement will not be pursued, but that's only a guess, and IANAL, so proceed at your own risk.

I gave my blessing to projects like this a good while ago.

Yeah, I would never have done this without T's blessing via email, text, or font of light from a cloud of fire.

Y'know, you could have said that in the first place.

Oh,well. It's not like I'm ever going to turn up a chance to lecture people about IP law.

That might be the solidest hint of what it's going to be about yet. :?
