No. He has. He’s not mad.

ripping off / inspired by / based on, take your pick. Pretty sure the guy knows already, wasn’t bothered by it if I recall correctly

I bet he's so angry he'll design the limited edition cover for it

yeah, just learned that he did

Also, if someone makes use of your game, using the license you created and provided it under, then you really should not be upset about that…

If by "ripping off" you mean "paying for the license and hiring the creator to work on the project," then sure. Those monsters!

"Ripping off" strongly suggests that you don't understand the ethos behind powered by the Apocalypse and Forged in the Dark games. The intent is that games will borrow and innovate and share, using a foundational shared system that informs design.

I’m curious f those who run this setting how difficult it is. Compared to Cthulhu. How fleshed out is the setting etc
