Message: <blockquote data-quote="talien" data-source="post: 1181248" data-attributes="member: 3285">I do hours of research.  I look for the best sites.  I start to figure out very quickly who has really crappy sites.  The Friday the 13th fandom is not very organized compared to Ghostbusters.  Terminator fans are rare but dedicated.  Evil Dead fans are practically a dying breed (the ones who run web sites, anyway).  Usually, the biggest thing is the timeline.  Anyone who has a timeline or encyclopedia -- a really good one, not a half-assed, "look I threw up something so you'll go to my site" -- is usually a person I ask.  In every case, EVERYONE'S been very cool about it, which makes it even better.  I generally do not ask folks who are already making their own RPGs, because I think it would probably irritate them.Funny, I thought Resident Evil d20 was well done.  Perhaps that just proves how much of a fan I'm NOT that I can't tell the quality of the d20 game.Here's the thing -- I need to be a fan to care enough about it to do a good job.  And by that it means I really need to have a desire to do the research.  And by that it means I actually bother to collect the other media (comics, movies, games, etc.).I like Resident Evil a lot and really liked the movie (and really really like Mila <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), but I'm not a fan.  I wouldn't know where to start.  I have a few of the games, not all that fond of them, feel that they're sort of a messy conglomeration of other zombie movies that have done a better job.  I feel like the movie "cleaned stuff up" for the parts that the game bothered me about.  But I haven't even played the game.My brother, on the other hand, is a complete fanatic.  But he's too busy to help.So in short, I wish I could just say I'll do all the cool d20 licenses.  But I figure someone who put work into their license probably has defined their own "turf" and wouldn't appreciate it.  And it's hard to go and make a d20 game when you KNOW someone else already created one.I have another question about license in general that I figure I should ask in another thread, so this is a good transition...</blockquote>
