Oh yeah, I didn't mean to imply that you guys ripped anything off :) More that those are games that explicitly acknowledge their influence from BRP, compared to something like Symbaroum where its there but not really brought to the fore. I hope that makes sense?

Though arguably BRP still casts a heavy shadow. Theres still straight up BRP like Kopparhavet and HT, Trudvang and Symbaroum are both D20 roll unders with parrying, Saga seems to be very "post BRP", Eon still has its roots there even if its a bit more distant these days and while Svärdets sång...

The answer is of course "yes" since nothing remains the same for 40 years, but in what ways would you say things changed? Conversely what did not change? I am thinking in terms of what published scenarios look like, what the "typical" gaming style is like, convention games etc.

After finishing up Call of Cthulhu (1 or 2 sessions left) I will run: Group 1: Mutant Rymd (yes!) for my American friends. Group 2: Drakar och Demoner Expert (again, for Americans). Those are the immediate ones. I am not sure if the occasional Vestmark game is continuing, but if it is, more...

God Jul from Danish-America

Swedish games, I ran a brief game of Drakar och Demoner (1987) - 4 sessions i think? Our Hjältarnas Tid game ended in early January or February after around a year. Also ran about 8 sessions of Vestmark but that's on hiatus now. Edit: Swedish games were run for my American friends. I just...

Appreciate the suggestion

If I may: If someone was to try and run through every published scenario, what would a good order be?

WOTC will likely win their case but there isn’t likely to be any fines or anything like that. From what I’ve understood it is basically an administrative issue and they will just obtain a ruling in their favor. if my-tsr persist beyond that, then damages could be in question. that’s as far as...

Some attorneys will work on a fixed amount paid up front, but yes, legal aid is not cheap. In cases where you stand to win money from damages, they may also work partially for a cut of those damages, but that doesn't apply here. One of the people on law-twitter also noted that the lawfirm...

From what I have understood, WOTC is alleging that nu-TSR knew some of the trademarks they are now trying to claim were in active use and so were lying when they filed to obtain them. I can't speculate as to the success or failure of that, but the fact nu-TSR has used copyrighted Star Frontiers...

It is probably pertinent to note that the current TSR (TSR-3) swiped the trademark from the guys who are doing the new Top Secret game (properly licensed), when they had forgotten to renew it. They said at the time they could not afford the legal costs to fight over it. They almost certainly...

I believe Ernie had an old kickstarter that either took years or never got fulfilled at all. “carrying on its actions to have Wizards of the Coast remove of change its Legacy Disclaimer.” it would be nice to hear their lawyer explain on what basis they think they have a legal right to dictate...

A lawyer, Mike Dunford, on twitter noted that WOTC is taking legal measures of their own, alleging that nu-TSR attempted to claim trademarks that they do not have any legal claim to. As far as the disclaimer, it was not a part of the lawsuit that was originally filed, it is not libel under...

Id be kinda wary with third party reporting on that lawsuit. Neither partner has to my knowledge said anything about what actually happened (and are not likely to, since it was settled) and a bunch of weirdoes online have tried to spin it to suit their political agendas. And while I hate WOTC...

"We believe in the freedom to do x, but we also want to force WOTC to not say things that makes us upset"

If you wont mind me interjecting, a few things that are worth noting with the law suit, as far as American law goes: Unless I am very mistaken, it is filed in the wrong state. Unless you are claiming damages (which for all their talk they are not) you have to sue in the state the target resides...

As mentioned, we didn't use printed adventures in my groups, but improvising on the fly was not really done either. The fact that the professionals wrote down their adventures always made me assume I should to, and simply inventing more monsters mid-game felt like cheating :) It didn't help...

I suspect the system has always relied on the idea that the stats only work within a certain range that can affect a human character. So an ant might have 0.1 STO and 0.01 INT but we just don't give it stats because it has no meaningful way of interacting with a human. In a Danish RPG magazine...

This is also generally (but not exclusively) the case in english BRP titles.
