[QUOTE="talien, post: 1181192, member: 3285"] Wow, impressive. I've heard Mark Arsenault of Gold Rush Games talk at Gen Con about the difficulty of acquiring a license -- specifically, the Zorro license. I really didn't think Zorro was quite as commercial as say, Ghostbusters. So I imagine it's a mighty steep hill to climb. If I thought there was a ghost *cough cough* of a chance of me getting a license for any of this stuff, I would love to work on the product. The problem is getting to know the right people and having enough legal backing to legitimately meet expectations. I can't even conceive of what Mark had to go through for Zorro, but it wasn't pretty. The only time I've successfully managed to snag a license was for the Abyss RPG, and that was turning it from one RPG into another. And that's cause Marco Pecota is a cool guy (who makes movies with real live movie stars!) and you can just call him up. :) Good luck with your venture, and if you need any help, please don't hesitate to look me up.
