Mindbane

[keithdone]

Hi,

I had a generic module called "Mindbane" published in 1983 by Darkstar Gaming. I want to bring out a 30th anniversary version in 2013 with more content and updated graphics. Unfortunately I no longer own a copy and don't want to pay $175 for an ebay copy (live long enough and your stuff becomes collectible!)
Can anyone help me out by sending me a scan if yiu have a copy - I'll be sure to acknowledge you in the new version!

Regards,

Keith Done

There's a local collector who might have one with the EN World name of [MENTION=662]thalmin[/MENTION]

You may run into some legal issues- someone probably owns the rights to it.

Keith might be able to track down the people he worked with the first time around (perhaps Keith was one of the principles?). It appears Mindbane is the single thing they actually got out the door under that banner.

Hi,

I don't think I'll have a major problem publishing "Mindbane" . The company who originally published it folded many years ago and the owner died a few years back. There was actually no contract either - just a case of fresh young role players designing a game for a local retailer and getting paid a set fee.

Of course we are all more savvy with contractual requirements now!

I have had other RPG games published since then, including:

Web of the Widow (for Columbia Games)
Dark Awakenings: Guardian (for Auran)
Dark Awakenings: Shadowland (for Auran)
Sanctuary (for Auran)
Shades of Grey (a free download from Auran - a d20- conversion of Web of the Widow)
The Encyclopedia Eldoria (for Comstar)


I am currently working on a Pathfinder conversion of the Encyclopedia Eldoria and a book called "The Reliquary" that details 27 religions, their artifacts and new set of low-level magic items called Charms that are activated by a person's degree of faith in their God.

I have also just obtained the rights to the games I wrote for Auran and I plan to re-release them for Pathfinder along with a revamped version of "Mindbane" in 2013.
