[QUOTE="Eosin the Red, post: 1457486, member: 168"] The Green Ronin Story. Yep, I am playing with the big boys now! I am sure that they don't view themselves as being one of the kings of the hill but to someone like me, just a kid getting all spunky - they are the elder gods of the RPG. So, what was I doing writing them an e-mail? I love the BotR. I have loved it since it came out but it is completely untapped. There are no modules and no setting pieces that use the BotR as an integral part of their make up. I wanted to do that. I wrote to ask permission to use their IP or to license their IP for my game company. Audacious but really, the BotR is just wasting away on my shelf. Why not ask? Chris was very nice and wished me well, then he told me [b]what I should have known already[/b]. In order for me to use the IP they would need to use man power to supervise and approve that use. I asked for something that would have cost them and offered next to nothing concrete in return. I need to turn that around so that GR stands to make gains instead of a net loss. That will require a bit of thought. I do already have my own cosmology that is similar to Green Ronin's but I thought that it would be cool to use my favorite RPG book for my own companies stuff. Not to mention that associating myself with a strong name like Green Ronin would have had a very real impact on sales. Back to the drawing board. I want to work with Green Ronin, I just need to find the right angle. My cosmology is part of my re-imagining of the basics. Something I plan to discuss in this evenings post. It could also be called how Enworld changed my view of gaming or inspired me to "get back to basics." [/QUOTE]
