That's the point, though. For me, anyway. Why restrict my personal
library only to those things that someone else deems I can have?
They (WW, Capcom) could reprint the books but they'd lose money on
it -- is the item then placed forever out of my reach, save should I
get lucky enough to find one on eBay (where I still look for the
books)?

Copyright and Trademark protection are important parts of maintaining
and encouraging intellectual property rights, but there has to be
a 'cutoff' point. Its one thing to print and distribute copies of
the rules while they're actively making a profit off of it, its
another to declare them off-limits because they want to.

Personally, I play a long out-of-print fantasy RPG called
DragonQuest. It was first made in the early 80s by SPI, who was then
bought by TSR, who was then bought by WotC, who was then bought by
Hasbro. DQ will never be printed again, and there has been a solid,
actual effort by the DQ community to buy the rights to the game in
order to personally print and sell the rules, probably at a loss.
But TSR, WotC, and Hasbro each in turn have rejected releasing the
rights to the game. The last DragonQuest game published was a
child's board game by TSR, released under that specific name to
extend their rights to the name (in addition to sounding kinda
neat). They each have explicitly stated that they, nor any owners,
will ever release the game. What to do? Not play an otherwise good
game with great combat mechanics? As it stands, no one has digitized
the DQ rules in the 20 years since it was last printed and the game
survives because of fanboys like myself. But is there really a good
moral reason to not distribute the game that doesn't directly appeal
to the amoral legal aspect?

Morpheus and foreign-produced patent-stealing generic drugs are the
backlash against intellectual property rights laws that are heavily
skewed towards protecting corporate interests, with little concern
for consumer rights, individual rights, or even economic competition.

Wow, I bought that game in '88 and have only ever played it once. I never
understood how to discourage a player from getting a 'magic college' when
his character was supposedly a fighter type. Seemed like a lot of benefit
for no downside. And the math. We had to use algebra just to figure out to
hit scores. You actually play that game with any regularity?

Yep.

And the only way we figured out how to discourage players from
playing Mages was...

1) Create a list of 'skills' (essentially, what could be called SF
special techniques) that cost a good load of Experience that would
otherwise be spent on spells

2) Enforce and raise the Magical Aptitude minimums for colleges

Other than that, the main reason to not be a mage is that your
Experience is going to probably be funnelled into raising your spell
Ranks and not spent on Skills.

Yeah, I've been running our current campaign; its been going on for
about 3 years. And quite frankly, I'm ready to put it down and start
Lunging Punch to Elbow Smash!!! kicking some Block to Hyper Fist to
Turn Punch (Dizzy)!!! (or will it instead be Block to Hyper Fist to
Brain Cracker?!?!) serious martial arts ass.

The main attraction of the game is its inescapable mortality in
combat; I also appreciate the wargamer-written rules. Very concise,
easy to reference.

i think standardizing rules, styles, etc. sux.
were never gonna ALL agree and the ppl who dont will just use there
way. its not like they will be forced to use the "standard" way just
cuz its standard. its just a label to slap on it but it wont change
anything. you think EVERYONE here goes by pittmans "official"
rulings just cuz there is an "official" label affixed to it?
a "standardized" label wont change anything either.

ppl will play how they want.

if you just want ppls oppinions to go into your style thats ok, but
its still just your style however you come up with it, and not any
better, more official, etc. than any other.

I will agree with you somewhat, but what about the people who know
squat about real world styles like myself, and find 3 or 4 different
versions online. My idea is to get somehting a little more concrete
for myself and the others out there who also lack that knowledge. I
beleve Fred made the suggestion of an e-book and I actually like that
idea. I (We.. whatever) am not trying to get stuff shoved down
people's throats but just to give them an option. I can honestly say
I don't use half the stuff I find online because a lot of manuevers
are brokne and I dislike supers. But to those who use them hey it's
your perogative. I apologize for the mini-rant but I am in the
middle of exams and tomorrow is my last one and am a little high-
strung.

Subject: Re: New poll for streetfighter
ill help out if its a group effort thing, or voting or whatever. im
not totally against it, but i still see it as kind of pointless.

if sum1 doesnt know squat then they will have a bunch of styles to
choose from. if we make another set of styles to choose from thats
just one more for them to choose from without knowing squat.

some of the styles that are actually official arent ANYTHING like
there real counterparts so i dont think it really matters if the
person doesnt know squat, as long as the style doesnt throw off game
balance.

also when voting or whatever, just because a lot of ppl have the same
idea doesnt neccesarily mean its the best way to do it.

Some of you might recall a while back I took a vote from you guys for
what the newer characters from the videogames would have for
attributes and techniques. I used it for reference when doing my
conversions but I dont stick "official mailing list ruling"
or "standardised" on it because i dont neccesarily feel that the
majority is always right.

I would just hate for there to be a player sumwhere with a really
good idea he wants to use but his dm wont let him cuz hes anal and
wants to only use the rules we all voted on, because we all *must* be
right, right? then the player doesnt get to use this great thing he
thought of just because we couldnt think of it when we made ours.

the way i see it ppl should just use whatever rules theyre whole
group is happy with, based on the content of the rules, not on how
many ppl voted on them or if it says "official" or "standardized" on
it. Theres nothing wrong with a group effort but i think its wrong
to use the *fact* that its a group effort influence ppl who dont know
squat.

i too apologise for my mini rant, this is just my oppinion and could
be wrong.

Oh, certainly. I'm definitely not going to attempt disproving any of
your points, because they're all so obviously true.

That's why the "pro" standpoint on the poll explicitly
references 'anal' GMs and players (thats me). Its really just to get
some feedback about player-created styles, and propose changes that
would make them more agreeable for the aforementioned anal-types
(such as me).

I suppose I should clarify a bit.

I'm NOT interested in creating an "official" anything. Really, I
just want to have a list of a homebrewed styles and maneuvers that I
can consider letting into my game because they definitely have been
playtested and balanced by a group of people and not just myself.

Obviously everyone is going to have their own interpretation, but a
group effort between even a few (3-5) people could edit a good
assortment of new maneuvers and styles so that someone else can
say, "Hey, those dorks with all that time on their hands and an
especially keen interest in maintaining game balance in Street
Fighter say that this stuff passes muster."

I'm really only interested in an editing review of existing material,
not a declaration of Truth.

i'll help.
sorry if ive seemed weird about this.
I just am paranoid about combining too much as I feel our diversity
is what makes us interesting.

like when sum1 proposed that we all just have one big site a while
back with all our material on it. yuck.
i like the variety of having many sites and many perspectives.

same with this stuff.


how long have you been playing this?
you could probably just release your styles or reference them if they
are sum1 elses somewhere and a lot of ppl here could just tell you if
they are balanced or not pretty accurately without playtesting.

a "standardized" label wont change anything either.

ppl will play how they want.

if you just want ppls oppinions to go into your style thats ok, but
its still just your style however you come up with it, and not any

I gotta go "anti-copy" on this one...

I decided to pursue the Street Fighter line from White Wolf last March...

I joined the list, peeked around a few places on-line, and I rounded up all
six books that White Wolf released, all in about two months.

I used two sources: eBay and Amazon.com's zShops. No fuss, no muss, no
breaking of copyright laws due to making digital copies of the books.

Hell, I even managed to tag the ST Screen, The Perfect Warrior and Secrets
of Shadoloo for cover price, thanks to the zShop.

Subject: Re: Homebrew style standards
If you would like to look at a system I designed (over many months) for making "standard" Maneuvers, Styles, and Backgrounds, take a look at CHAMPS.
  In CHAMPS, each Maneuver, Style or Background created is labeled as a "version", meaning all of the Styles are okay as long as they fit into the CHAMPS rules. Therefore, you could learn "Chicko's Kung Fu" as opposed to "Joe's Kung Fu". Both would be just as fair under the CHAMPS rules. This applies to maneuvers and Backgrounds as well.
  In any case, the system works well if you would like to judge your Maneuvers to see if they are underpowered or overpowered. I hope you like it... feedback is appreciated.

Good idea.  I agree that a "standard codex" of styles would be best,
if only because we can forcefully examine some of the styles and
complare them to others.

I also suppose we could include questionable existing styles into the
conversations, too -- Jeet Kun Do, The Pankration, Silat, stuff like
that?

In any case, its not like we can force anyone to accept a community
concensus on this stuff, so I see little harm in it.  On the plus
side, we can playtest stuff that probably hasn't really been
critically examined by a good cross-section of players.

Holy crap. You've played a bit, I see.

If the book is at >3mb in a zip, thats great! As a side note, did
you know that .pdf has 2 forms -- Pagemaker and Photoshop? I assume
if you've converted them into .pdf Photoshop files, they'll be huge -
- its designed for all the layering crap etc. of Photoshop, and not
the whole 'print this e-z' stuff of Pagemaker.

And no, I haven't played SF much. I have a degree in Math and a
keen interest in game design.

AND, the CHAMPS system looked good, but I fear what it would create
in the hands of an experienced min-maxing number cruncher. I say
that without having really studied the system yet... its a project

I approve of the "standardization," because I can appreciate that someone is
going over the material for balance. Admittedly, it's not like I've seen
any tremendous discrepencies between different versions of the same style,
but I'm glad someone has the initiative to check it out.

>cuz its standard. its just a label to slap on it but it wont change

Sure, they're not necessarily official (although, like most of the SF fan
material, they'll probably be done more carefully than a lot of the official
White Wolf material) but if that's the case, then who cares? "Standardized
Rules" or "House Rules." RPGs generally allow for both.

>you think EVERYONE here goes by pittmans "official"
>rulings just cuz there is an "official" label affixed to it?

I hope that wasn't a slam against CHAMPS.

It's been done on the list before, with various polls on how certain moves
should work. The whole "crouching block" debate. I see it as the "Euro,"
an opportunity to make the fan material more cohesive. If you see them as
"just house rules," that's cool. I imagine that will happen with list
tourneys, as well, where someone will say "White Wolf material only,
thankyewverymuch." It's their prerogative.

Still, doesn't hurt.

Agreed. Email is a push system because the content is fed right to me, and I
don't have to go out of my way to get it. Messageboards are a pull system.
They can be inconvenient at times. Besides I think yahoogroups has done a
good job since swallowing egroups. I see no reason to take off.

Thank you. It was hard to come up with an idea for an article that I hadn't
seen before in The Pride or a webpage (or even on this list). I'm glad you
liked it.

I always enjoy Arkon's HLSs. I think it's because he has the audacity to give
his NPCs more realistic, or at least different, motivations than those in, for
example, High Stakes, even when they're at odds with the PCs.

Seriously man, I no longer care. I've bought two of these books, STRPG and
the Player's. I don't have a credit card so I could never get them off ebay
even if I wanted to. But it doesn't bother me if people think I'm a thief
for getting these books off the net. Currently I'm playing SF with a
photocopy of the Player's guide and my memory. The books I actually
purchased are long gone. Borrowed and never returned. So I am definitely
not going to get choked up when some holier than thou kid gets up on his
high horse to look down on me.

Well, nothing really. Just standard wear and tear. Mine just looks worse off
than yours does. It's my Screen that's been chewed on by teathing puppies and
shades of grey that soaked up some spilled cherry coolaid.

Let's see: that rip on your spine? I got that, except that it goes all the way
down to Cammy's Beret. My exfriend accidently folded the front cover over so
there's a big crease down the middle. That sort of thing.

eBay doesn't use credit cards dude. I've always paid with postal money
orders. Go to a post office, give them the payment and ask for money
order. It's as good as a certified check.

eBay is the best way to get the books..hands down. Just gotta be
patient. It took me a year to get them all, and I did. In good condition
too.

Subject: Re: how serious are you anti-copy ppl?
let's just put it this way...

I, and one or two other members of this list, have spoken to the author of Street Fighter in the past (both on this topic and others; I interviewed him for my site two or three years ago), and could easily do so again if the mood strikes us. White Wolf has already made it known that they would be rather unhappy if such a project was undertaken, so the fact that you're asking this question in the first place tells me that you know what you're doing is wrong.

In addition, since I am a software developer and unpublished writer/game developer, *and* since the same excuse you're using to justify this project is the one most warez monkeys and crackers like to use to validate their own illegal doings, I am *so* not keen on such a thing happening; it hits me too close to home. I suppose it would be different if Capcom weren't still milking the Street Fighter franchise. But perhaps not.

I wouldn't even *have* to "go out of my way". Two seconds and Mr. Weick's got an E-mail telling him where to look for illegally distributed copies of his company's intellectual property, which is still very much in print (WORLD OF DARKNESS: COMBAT)

Do I feel strongly enough to tap two black and play a Demonic Attorney?

Good question. And it's a subject I don't feel like thinking about. I'd have to weigh the imperative to do what I feel is right against the guilt I'd feel about bringing fire and brimstone down on some poor schlub I barely even know, whose intentions probably aren't even very bad. Not to mention that if such activity were linked to the operation of this mailing list, it could get the Admins in trouble, and as Mike has stated, he (we) have been doing this for four years and we're not about to stop now.

So, I'm going to do what I usually do in such a situation. I'm going to forget about the whole thing and go daydream about a really hot coworker.









..that stays HERE, you guys.

Subject: Re: how serious are you anti-copy ppl?
My turn.

I've made it known that I'm against the copying of the books, but being
the non-confrontational person that I am, I've just basically made
doubly sure that my name doesn't appear in any oif the threads relating
to the topic (unless it's in a discouragin email). I have not (yet) done
anything to force members to take this communication away from the list.
However, as one of the admins of the list it is my responsibility to
ensure that things on the list stay legit. I was going to wait to how
this project went because the discussions have happened in the past but
died imminently. No use putting on my evil authoritative voice if I
didn't need to. We're all friends here.

But now that I've seen some scanned pictures, I'm a little concerened. I
think this pet project has gone further than what I'd like to allow on
the list.

If you guys are really serious about this I'd like it taken offline
please. I don't want this list and any innocent bystanders getting
involved.

To finsih on a light note though, I'd like to point out again that The
Perfect Warrior supplement book (my favorite) is currently going for a
mere $3.00 at eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1676999606

And as a side note, I've setup some search agents on eBay to email me
when it finds criteria I've setup that should find anything SFRPG
related. I'll post these to the list as they come, and let you guys
fight over them.

There are so many better ways to get the books folks. Let's keep our PDF
making skils for creating our own official supplements.

Anyway, I'm done. By the way Matt, thanks for being honest and asking.
