DGP and all that

[aramis]

What roger SAID he had, as I remember (not having seen waht he has, all of this is about 1 step above rumor):

original digital layout files on floppy for all published DGP materials.

Copies of the draft layouts for MT rules

CG tables for MT Aliens Vol 3 Zhodani and Droyne, some prose text for non-CG materials. Mentions a chirper CG sequnce in outlines, but not in materials.

working outline for materials to be in MT Aliens Vol 4 Hiver and K'Kree, but no prose nor tables. some sections have outlines in detail.

schematic outline for 3 adventures, working titles don't match to production scehdule names.

a few collections of subsector data, massaged slightly.

a draft of an MT compatible striker version. (Personally, I suspect it may be a draft or parralell of the large scale combat rules in Ref's companion...)

very limmited rules mechanics ideas for AI.

IP rights to all published DGP materials, subject to terms of derivative licensure. (THe latter was NOT forthcoming.)

Aramis; is that all he has? Huh. And he's asking 6-figs for that? Huh. I thought he had like key elements of MT material, but if what you say is true, then there isn't a whole lot of need or demand for what he's holding onto.

Oh well. T5 and MT march onwards...

I would have to agree with Blue Ghost...all that is not worth a huff but I would want to hear it directly from Rodge. But, at the very least, why doesn't issue reprints like Marc.

I wouldn't mind those GenCon tapes on DVD or something...if cost an issue...chances are everything including the data files are blanked by now, as it has been over 10 years since anything was written.

Because he CAN'T issue reprints without a license from Marc to do so.

Bit of a chicken and the egg scenarine can't do anything without the other's say-so and vice-versa.
Why can't human beings 'talk ' to one another?!!!

Well its not about talk its about cash - I have heard that MWM (rightly) wants to be paid a modest sum for the IP rights to use his creation (good in my view as it keeps the Creator in the loop viz quality control and makes people think before putting out low quality stuff). On rumours (I have no first hand testimony) RS refuses to pay the licence fee and so he cant get into the show to make $$/££ out of it.

Who needs it? With the CT reprints, T4, GT and the hopefully to be T5 the DGP stuff can stay where it is. I mean, there's really nothing there that didn't see an incarnation in some other publication. The only thing I can think of would be the actual MT vehicle stats, otherwise the adventures and char-gen stuff is already covered. To create a Vargr or Aslan or whatever all you have to do is roll up its stats, then put it through one of the schools in the already published material.

The starship opertor's guide just expands on what was already published. The Beowulf, last I checked, was from CT, so the ship itself in the book doesn't belong to him. It all belongs to MWM. A T5 Beowulf ship, complete with operator's guide/manual, to my way of thinking, isn't reliant on the DGP material.

Again, just my 0.02cr
