Which RPG companies need a Fan-Policy?

[Wicht]

Rather than continue to derail the conversation involving the 4e fan site policy, I am interested if there are RPG companies which need a fan site policy but don't have one?

Are there companies other than WotC that seem to be actively discouraging fan created material through a lack of clear communication with their fans?

If you could make a hypothetical fan site, what product or company would you be most eager to make a site for? And would this site be in any way supported by that company?

Also... from the 4e thread: The companies that clearly have a policy already include WotC, Paizo, White Wolf, and Steve Jackson Games.

Palladium has a policy.

Palladium has a policy.

It does?

Perhaps a better question might be "are there any major differences between company fan policies?"

 

[pawsplay]

Oh, there's a difference, all right.

Internet Policy

"For this reason, we can NOT allow any conversions of Palladium's copyrighted works to other game systems (for example, Rifts® characters using D20 or GURPS stats), nor allow characters and settings from other companies and creators (for example, Marvel Super-Heroes or the Star Wars characters) to be presented/posted using Palladium’s game stats."

Yeah, I noticed that you didn't say that it was a good fan policy.

It's the Internet's only Scorched Earth Fan Policy.
