Seems like Judges Guild's Robert Bledsaw II is claiming "creative rights" to all RPG maps using hexes or squares... and DM Screens and NPC random charts!
Robert Bledsaw:
“It never ends. About 6 times each year I have to take down sites for selling Judges Guild products (usually scans) that I own, just to keep hold of our sales numbers. But when I see someone producing new books drawing largely upon our past work (being mostly the work of my late father), it gets under my skin. You have a NEW way to chart progress in an RPG Fantasy world using 1, 5, or 15 mile hex grids for large outdoor areas, and square grids for interior buildings, caves, and dungeons? You have NPC or Random Charts to fill your majestic hex realm??? You selling that WITHOUT giving Judges Guild credit or holding a license? Do you understand what “creative rights” are? If it functions the same, and you did not create it, guess what! Your lawyer-buddies better check into our Product #47 from 1977, called ‘Campaign Hexagon Sub-System.’ PS: If you happen to also be a sniveling weasel that pissed away ANY chance of a license to publish OUR IP, then I guess your better start refunding people their cash!”
