Requisite Legal Notification

First, the legal stuff - this is important, so pay attention.  Atlas Games has agreed to allow me to put certain things on my Web page with the understanding that they are copywritten material, and not for public distribution.  Lots of the stuff beyond this page is the intellectual property of Atlas Games.  John A. Nephew, whom I have never met but who is the president of Atlas Games, has asked me to put the following info on my Web page somewhere.  Since I don't want to append it to every single Web page that follows, and since you more or less have to read this in order to get access, I am putting it here.

Now, opinionated bastard that I am, I will give you my own, PERSONAL spin on this whole legal thing.

I think it sucks.

Not because I think Atlas Games is being hardass or anything - but because it sucks that such things are NECESSARY in the first place.  If you are a role-player with the wit to be interested in Over the Edge in the first place, you certainly have the wit to understand that Atlas Games is something that John Nephew and the rest do, not just because they are nice guys, but to help pay the rent and put food on the table.  Nike isn't pounding on Mr. Nephew's door right at the moment offering him multimillion dollar contracts to put their swatch on Over the Edge products.  If you rip off copywritten material from Atlas Games instead of paying them for their work, you're fucking over people who share an important interest with you - namely role-playing.  You are making it less likely that Atlas will be able to continue producing products for OTE, and more likely that folks who are trying to provide you, the gamer, with quality entertainment at affordable prices (when's the last time you saw an AD&D module for $5.99?) will go out of business.  But clearly people still do it, hence the need for official notices like the one above.

And that sucks.

So don't do it, ok?
