Re: MircoQuest Adventures for the KS
Regarding rights issues, I'm finding myself thinking about the current shenanigans going on between Victor Miller (writer of the original Friday the 13th movie) and the current rights holders to the series.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/th...t-stake-922911 https://deadentertainment.com/2018/0...-legal-battle/ Notably, there seems to be some sort of copyright provision that after a certain amount of time (35 years?) a freelancer is allowed to re-assert ownership of rights over a freelance project. Might be something Steve would want to look into? |

Re: MircoQuest Adventures for the KS
I suspect the strategy that Steve used to the rights back to what he did is the 35 year rule. Recall, though, that other designers contributed solo adventures to Metagaming. It would be they who would have to do whatever legal widdgery-pokery is required to retrieve the rights.

Re: MircoQuest Adventures for the KS
He may not have seen it. We’ve been talking about it for weeks. I’d be very interested to see this, if I may. It would be a heck of a boon to Microquest writers.

Re: MircoQuest Adventures for the KS
That's precisely what he did. He reclaimed the rights to the material that HE authored. He has no rights to material that he was not the author of (though, hopefully, some of those other authors will pursue the same goal).

Hopefully some of those people are still around, and maybe can join forces with Steve or something. |

Re: MircoQuest Adventures for the KS
The one author that I REALLY hope decides to do something like that is this fella named Guy McLimore. He wrote Grailquest, ya know... ;-)
