Quote: Some things, such as the things I developed along with Jeff, can be debated as to who owns them... If it was unpublished stuff, then yes. I was specifically thinking about things published where people signed the forms/NDA and it was released with copyright statements. (And I was thinking Yg...

<t>Nowadays most artists are smart enough to ask to own their copyright. That wasn't the case in many of the early days where TSR owned artwork outright. Fantasy art can easily be recycled unless you're dealing with very specific identifiable characters. <br/> <br/> The way the maps work is differen...

FYI--by LA release I meant the game.

I don't think the "stat format" and/or the approach of CZ is even decided yet.

Quote: But in any event, this is all irrelevant. Gary wasnt interested in having the CZ stuff published with anything but C&C. Stated so on any number of occasions rather publicly. And then there's the plans he only shared with Gail, as well as a few others as well. (As well as him stating in t...

The cross-poster didn't get my whole quote.

The guy with the hat is Dave Trampier. Rob Kuntz is the guy with the Parachute.

<t>That was me that posted the card.<br/> <br/> Someone asked what year this card was posted. Gary never told me, but from what I can see, this was early Dragon, and while it's blurry and I can't tell from this scan, it has the Lizard Man Logo from TSR, so this was sent out some Christmas between 19...
