Night Below Handouts

[Wonko the Sane]

(I didn't know where else to put this...if it belongs somewhere else, I'm sure one of our kind mods will take care of it.)

I am presently running the Night Below campaign for the third time. I have everything converted, but I don't seem to have most of the player handouts. I have no idea what was on most of them, and they are necessary in a few instances.

Would some kind soul be able to help me out?

Thanks in advance,
WtS

would scanning such things into JPGs and sharing them be kosher or not?

I doubt it. You can buy it here: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1119&

Since it's available for purchse, I'd say to no to scanning things.

True, but it's only the handouts. All it means is that he lost a few of them. If I had a scanner, I'd send him mine. It would be a waste to buy a PDF just for a few handouts anyway.

But it's part of the purchased package. You shouldn't have them unless you purchased it. Now, if you purchased them and made copies for yourself because you need backups that's different.

I agree with reveal.

I don't. Wonko, please contact me and I'll see what I can do to help.

It does say "Permission to photocopy for personal use" on the handouts. Is scanning them for a brother ENWorld'er so different?

If it would help, I could post a picture of me holding the (nearly destroyed) box, but then someone would require proof that it was me, and demand DNA and fingerprints/retinal scans.

I understand the need to prevent copyright infringement. Being an author myself, I understand it maybe a little better than most. I'm not asking for the meat of the module here - just the props that will allow me to finish what I've started.

Again, thanks in advance.

Yes, it is different. You gain permission IF you purchase the product. If someone purchases it and photocopies stuff and just gives it to other people, for purposes other than playing at tha table, that's not personal use. That's distribution of copyrighted material. Big difference.

With that said, do you own the original boxed set? Because, if you do, then getting scanned copies of the handouts can be considered a backup just in case something gets lost. In fact, I have PDFs of every RPG book I own for that very reason. If something were to happen to them, I still have a copy of my purchase for my personal use.
