Erick Wujcik's Greatest Error?

Similar feeling there. It's been too long, I guess I just think that they'll do nothing. They were probably really motivated at the start, but life has a way of getting in the way and postponing things forever.

If they weren't going to jump onto this thing hardcore, they should never have offered to take it from Erick. As it is, we have one of the worst scenarios imaginable for the game; they're not going to do anything, nor are they going to pass it on to anyone. The game will be permanently stuck in non-production.

Well I consider the proliferation of the PDF of Amber DRPG to be a matter of culture propagation. Who needs a publisher ? You won't steal anything anymore from either Zelazny or Erick by sharing their works. All they have to do is to declare the Amber DRPG book to be CC-sa-nd-nc and the thing WILL be reedited and at least will be legal to share. I personally would prefer a plain CC-sa (authorizing derivatives, even commercial ones, this would allow the Rebma book to be edited) but I would be happy with either solution.

How about sharing the file and seeing if they'll dare send a cease and desist letter ? At least it would be communication...

IMO, they wouldn't. The Zelazny estate would.

I sincerely doubt that they would want to make this forum their primary forum, but as an active forum that was sanctioned by Eric, it would have been reasonable to at least show up and introduce themselves, talk a little about their plans, etc.
They didn't do that or anything else that I am aware of ( except for the Ambercon attendance that I read in this thread, apparently). Maybe there is work we aren't seeing ( I hope so), but so far, I have to agree that while pundit may have put things abrasively, he seems to be right. DBD has dropped the ball and doesn't much seem to want to pick it up.

Let's not suggest that here, please.

Quote from: RPGPundit;325267If you use an amber forum to talk about how the Amber game itself should be changed into Nobilis or something, then that's just douchebag-behaviour.

Damn. Remind me not to get on your bad side.

Consider yourself reminded.

Ha-ha! Well, I guess I have a better chance than some, since I am a fellow loather of the pretentious twats at The Forge. What? Someone demands proof? What could be more dogmatic and pretentious than locking the RPG Theory topic. Seriously? There are no new theories to be discussed? Ever? Even my good friend who is quite an amazing indie game designer and generally worships the ground that Edwards and Holmes walk on (even after Holmes totally dissed him in the forward to his own book) found that one hard to swallow.

Hmm, well, it sounds like you're not a kool-aid drinker, anyways.
