[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8457300, member: 6779310"] Fasa lost it about 1992 or so... over Next Gen being a separate IP from TOS. They were licensed for Star Trek, and they did books covering TNG without realizing that their license didn't cover it. It did, however, cover the movies... The offending products were First Year Sourcebook and the TNG Officers' Manual. Given where I was living, I think that was 1992-ish. It also was cotemporous with Paramount vs Task Force Games and Amarillo Design Bureau... Note that TFG/ADB won, and FASA lost... Article on it in TFG's house organ, Nexus, issue 18... Yeah, Disney considers PDF to be Software; software has a different license than tabletop games. This was actually explicitly stated on the FFG forums, but the Asmmodee move recently resulted in no forums. Anyway, that also means no VTT support. They had to get special permission for the offline dice roller... from disney and the computer games license holder... [/QUOTE]
