Discworld IP
I'm sure SJG doesn't have the rights to Discworld anymore, but if anyone is in contact with whoever does (even if its Pratchett and/or his agent themselves), they might be interested to know that there is a publisher currently selling unauthorized Discworld-to-Tunnels-and-Trolls conversions:
Here be the link. Note that, IIRC, it's doubly unauthorized, as the generally-accepted-holder of the T&T license has had problems with this publisher/author before. I don't know the details, though, so that's just what I can remember. |

He's still selling materials in violation of that, claiming he's bought it elsewhere, despite having been the sole and exclusive publisher thereof. Likewise, he's selling Mike's stuff after mike instructed him to cease, desist and withdraw the materials. Further, the stuff he's selling can often be had less expensively. |

Re: Discworld IP
Don't forget his penchant for stealing peoples artwork to adorn his books.

Re: Discworld IP
In fact, we do. I've forwarded your link to Steve and the Net Cell. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Re: Discworld IP
The appropriate people have been made aware of the situation. There's no further benefit to discussing it here.
