For what it's worth, if you've ever seen my product Lost Hall of Tyr, you'll see that the cover is similar. For SJG to use the cover *without* my being in on it would be rather similar to me using the DFRPG logo on the cover without THEM being in on it. In short, neither company would do something so unprofessional.

One word: Globbo. If that wasn't unprofessional, then I don't know what is. ;)

Preposterous Hogwash! A third-party license to a company so new and small? Impossible. Just impossible...Or is it? ~_^

I apologise if offense was given to either SJGames or Douglas. I simply didn't remember the sample cover well enough to remember. I respect both I just thought it was funny that both might be in on "the joke"

Peace

We've known and worked with Douglas for years; I'm quite sure that if a license was needed, the negotiation was relatively painless.


The next year, after we had announced GURPS 4e for real, we decided to post an April 1 Illuminator that was a real product announcement. We didn't expect that we would be the fools . . . (That said, we haven't given up on it yet!)

Seems from the outside it had to require a special licence but I'm sure as you say given the parties involved it was as painless as possible.
Good news on the latter, Girl Genius not my thing but humor is SJGs kind of thing. Trying to convert some Pathfinder people over last night and I specifically raised positve eyebrows when I piunted out SJG same company that invented Illuminati so went for the kill with GURPS IOU and Casey and Andy

Short version: it's real.

Slightly longer version:

So . . . About that Daily Illuminator Yesterday
