[QUOTE="LcKedovan, post: 227252, member: 1576"] Oh, I forgot to mention something else about the differences between Chaosium and WotC.. This from their writer's guidelines: Rights and Rewards This is a good chance to see yourself in print and impress your friends and those ever-curious relatives. Your name will be prominent on the cover and title page. Usual payment is by the word, on merit, between three cents and four cents a word for all rights worldwide. [B]If a single author substantially writes the book, it is copyrighted in that author's name. If it is a group-effort book, usually it is copyrighted in Chaosium's name. In either case, all rights to their original words return to authors when their books go out of print.[/B] Authors get 6-12 free copies and can always get additional copies at standard discounts. [B] The Common Pool Just as Mythos authors have done since the original Lovecraft circle, we ask that new authors allow other authors to refer to or employ the characters, tomes, entities, and spells that they create. In exchange, such elements within the rulesbook and supplements are available for your use. Authors maintain complete control of their own human characters, if they wish, and may always use them in other publications and other media. [/B] I can't see the creator of "Krusk" being able to go off and write an independant short story, or movie about him without WotC getting involved legally, can you? -Will [/QUOTE]
