    FLGS Research

    A lot of it will depend on the margins, which, of course, will depend on what types of product they sell and how they source them. Used products can be a game changer where margin is concerned, but can you acquire the types of used products that your customers would actually buy? If you are...

    Hey Publishers, fair use?

    fair use does not say what kinds of publications are protected, open, or what have you. Fair use details a list of the "types of reasons" where fair use may apply. Those reasons could potentially apply to anything covered under copyright, regardless of the subject matter. Playing games...

    Recalled RPG products?

    The FFE books... As I understand it, they had violated the D20 license. WOTC had notified them of the violation and said that they could no longer sell or distribute books that were under violation of the license (or, I presume, they could have been sued). There was no recall. But books that...

    Starting a Milwaukee Convention?

    I also would consider time date for your con on or near the dates for Origins. Its a good time for a summer convention. Milwaulkee is far enough away from Columbus that only the big time gaming die hards would be heading down to Origins and those would probably attend your con also. Vendors...

    [Gleemax]Another thing not to like.

    I guess it all boils down to how they define "content". If it is left undefined, then no sane publisher with a IP or trademark of their own would participate on the site. Not at the risk of WOTC then being able to lay claim to a royalty free, open ended, use as they will license to use that...

    [Gleemax]Another thing not to like.

    >>If wotc doesn't do this, someone will sue them someday. period. full stop.<< Business is about risks. If they feel the risks are too high, then they shouldn't be saying they are trying to offer a broad based community site for the whole industry when their terms of service very clearly are...
