Jack Herman and Jeff Dee have started a GoFundMe campaign to pay for their legal battle to regain control over their classic superhero game Villains & Vigilantes. In their own words:

We started MHG in 2010 when we learned that our game's original publisher, FGU Inc., had ceased to exist in 1991 and that the publishing rights to V&V reverted to us at that time. Unfortunately, the old publisher's former president was not willing to let go, and so we have become embroiled in a lawsuit. Our claim that the publishing rights reverted to us has been upheld, but our opponent is still fighting over the trademark to our game's name. We've been fighting for our rights for several years, and frankly we need more money in order to carry this battle to a final victory. We just want to get back to making our games. If you've enjoyed out game, and support our rights as creators, then we need your help.
