Forgotten Kingdoms products Questions and Special Orders

Lunch box would be great, what about cork scews and a Newt bean bag doll? I think the doll might be hard to come by though. Do they have chess sets?

Newt is a copyrighted character owned by Wizards of the Coast. Can't be reproduced.

HOWEVER

I could do a "generic" fairy dragon and as long as it isn't listed with the name "Newt" there's no copyright infringement.

I know this is off topic, but would Mystra's having Brain Farts be the real explanation behind Wild Magic?

Ok so how many of you wear Silverymoon map boxer shorts?

Being a priest that raises the dead, I like that one by Andreas, but I think I'd like the old Monty Python saying, "Bring Out Yer Dead!"

Time is a river with no border and a fish with wings
Patience is an old man that talks to rocks
The I.C. life is the life for me
Never trust and elf over five hundred

Might have copyright trouble with "Bring out yer dead!" since it's from Monty Python.

Kirkus · Post by **Kirkus** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 8:01 pm

copyover in 30 seconds

ROFL good one Kirkus...
I prefer...

Copyover in three minutes to fix bug with thief class gaining overly-large sums of money from low level mobs

Oh bah, four thieves just made 18,000 platinum. Copyover in 5 seconds.

Oh, and...

I facepalm at you.

Ah, and so would "Never Trust A Dragon" from Shadowrun... I hate copyright laws...

I'll try to frame a polite response to that statement...

Copyright laws are what protects my art. When I put 80-100 hours of work into a piece of art, I %&#@($* want something protecting my rights as an artist.

I hope everyone else here can understand and respect the creative process and just how difficult and disheartening it is to see people stealing your work. To me, it's the equivalent of stealing a piece of my soul.

http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ - Read it. It's good for you.

Copyright laws protect the artist. They are designed to do so with good reason. Believe it or not, lyrics written on the back of a napkin are copyrighted. It may be hard to prove, but registration of intellectual property is NOT required to establish copyright. If you have the SLIGHTEST doubt that ANY material you might use has been created by someone else, give them their due rights and DO NOT use it without their "expressed written permission."

Belose · Post by **Belose** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 11:54 pm

Perhaps I should rephrase that.. I hate the way the copywrite laws are written....I didn't write that to get anyone mad... and I really would hate to see someone STEAL anyones creativity. I could go on a rant about lyrics and the use of them in gaming....or phrases that have become SO used I'd really like to see people trying to enforce the laws... can you imagine Monty Python sueing everyone who's gone around saying 'I want.... a SHRUBBERY!!!" And after seeing my picture on the left over there, I'd hate anyone to steal it from Andreas to use elsewhere...and I thank you for drawing it for me.....I hope this clarifies it a lil bit better..

Balek · Post by **Balek** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 4:35 am

No, I can't see them suing anyone who said that specific line, but if someone put it on a shirt and started selling it...yes, I could see that.

S' a funny thing...every time I look at Andreas's signature, his eyebrows seem to have tweaked just a little bit lower *sighs for the good old days of jolly paladins*

"A mechanical ox says, '%' "

Sorry Cret, it just seems to fit...

Kirkus · Post by **Kirkus** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 5:14 am

What about patches? Like in Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts when you earn a merit badge you got a patch to sow onto your uniform. Could we get patches of like our logos? Could we get patches of the gods symbols?

Kirkus · Post by **Kirkus** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 3:32 pm

Understood. I kinda figured there would be some copyright stuff involved but I am not an expert so thats why I asked. Thanks!

"Oh yeah, well I'm a high priest, a drow, an archmage, and a level 50 orc fighter!!!"
