kingandy5 minutes til the end of the day and I can't see the point of starting anything new before the weekend, so here I am looking busy.
In a surprising show of generosity and principles, Green Ronin have given carte blanc for people to publish their own Mutants and Masterminds sourcebooks. Well, not in so many words - that's forbidden under the Open Game License, at least without entering into individual trademark agreements or whatever with everybody, and anyway they'd be fools to throw their trademarks out for all and sundy to use and abuse. Instead they've created this M&M Superlink "license", which is basically a way of saying "This is a Mutants and Masterminds product" without actually mentioning Mutants and Masterminds in any way. It's like official, only not, for legal reasons. You could take the point of view that they want to make damn sure everybody buying these sourcebooks gets pointed back to the main M&M book, but I think it's jolly decent of them. Of course I could be wrong.
OMG look, Freeport!
Now off home for the weekend. Must run games for people. Ta ta!
