I just hope it meshes with Spycraft then I'll be sorted!

Is this a conversion of the R. Talsorian's Cyberpunk?

It probably is, because Mike Pondsmith owns the word "cyberpunk".

Damn, i must be the richest man in the world... I own the word "God". I also patented the concept religion. The things people allow you to own...

No he doesn't. What he owns is the trademark to 'Cyberpunk' as an RPG title, which means only that no one else can produce an RPG with the specific title 'Cyberpunk'. 'd20 Cyberpunk' isn't the same.

Do we really need another thread? There is already one in the Publisher forum.

But i thought that was for PUBLISHERS?

I thin this thread should be fine we want to talk about the game and its potential, I've viewd the other thread and its is almost exclusively just talking about Copyrights and very little about what people would like to see in the game, or hope is included or how they will be using it etc...

I do have a question: is R. Talsorian Cyberpunk 2020 the definitive guide to this unnamed-for-public-domain genre?

 

[tensen]

Cyberpunk is trademarked with regards to a roleplaying game.. As for the genre it is still Cyberpunk...


of course, one could also question the possibility of Matrix the RPG... since FASA trademarked matrix with regards to the virtual world of their cyberspace.

This is an issue for the lawyers to hash out.

Well, whoever holds FASA's IP should look into it, to see if there is an infringement (copyright and/or trademark).
