Goodman Games Releasing 4e Adventures Prior to October 1st

[Korgoth]

Suppose you replaced every proper name in the Lord of the Rings with a name of your own invention, but otherwise republished the story wholesale. I suspect that that might be a copyright infringement.

I thought that was called "The Sword of Shannara".

Keep in mind that Hasbro was probably on the hook FROM the OTHER guys.

Do you think when Lucas et al heard about the "custom figures"that they took their grievances to the people who made such custom figures?

Hell, no. They're making their displeasure known to HASBRO and even Hasbro doesn't mess with Lucas. (especially given that he has a stake in Hasbro).

Note that the issue was with custom figures and material based on IP, not material based on the Heroscape mechanics.

Is this the answer per Scott Rouse - http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=216035

Sort of anticlimatic, if it is.

Can someone post this answer in this thread? The link is broken with the move, and I'm really curious what Scott actually said.

Muchas Gracias!

The answer was severely dated and was from back in January if memory serves. The Rouse said that they were letting publishers release free products prior to October 1st and judging by Goodman's annoucement DCC won't be free.

Actually, he mentioned publishing because august because by the time he posted this answer they still planned the 5k early adopter thing.

Hmm... I'd never heard of that one!

Add a level to old links that include a "/forum" folder and they should work.
