[QUOTE="Rel, post: 356388, member: 99"] Greetings, SableWyvern. First, I hope you understand that earlier in this thread, I wasn't trying to bag on ICE or RM. I don't think the system is "bad" (I think it's been fairly well thrashed out how utterly subjective judging a roleplaying system can be). Thanks for the compliments on the EC. I hope you got the errata. ;) And you recall correctly that I wasn't too happy with ICE. There was a time when it seemed that they were reluctant to pay folks their royalties and anybody who had the gall to ask for them was considered greedy and impatient. As it happens, Bruce, who is now president of the new ICE, was one of the people who we had a problem with because he was rude and dismissive when we tried to collect they monies they owed us. But I'm willing to chalk that up to him having a bad day and hold no animosity toward him over it now. Ergo, I wish nothing but the best for the company now and hope they are able to prosper. That said, I have no further plans to do work for them since the system presently holds little interest for me. I would very much like to come to some agreement with them about repurchasing the rights to the Essence Companion so that it is again available to the people who play the game (available for less than $100 on e-bay). But so far, we have not been contacted regarding such an agreement. Thanks for your inquiry and the compliment. Good gaming. [/QUOTE]
