[QUOTE="Caffinicus, post: 7689893, member: 78909"] I know it's a complicated issue for many, but for me, it's simple. If you create something (even using other's IP), and you want to be make it public, and you don't charge for it (and therefore make no profit), it isn't (or shouldn't be) illegal. Otherwise, I believe you are opening up to the idea that any creative work based on another's IP is illegal, including blog entries, GM-written adventures for home campaigns! I can't accept that. As far as I can see, the only problem with that REUP document is that someone is asking for money for certain formats of it. As a free PDF, I see nothing wrong, and quite a bit right. It's not like much of that material ever existed for the WEG version of the game, so someone would have to create it regardless. If you want game details for any Star Wars material from the prequels forward in D6 (and I can't be alone in perferring D6 to the D20 and/or FFG versions of the game), it would need to be fan-made. A polished, easy to read and enjoy free pdf is a slam-dunk for me. Caffinicus [/QUOTE]
