the duality of being

Today in my usual Lancer campaign we played for the usual session time of 3 hours then spent another 3 hours in chat talking little about Star Wars, Star Trek and talking a lot about how the United States and England sucks

Best session that I had in a very long while

For the last two weeks, I have worked on a retroclone of my favorite superhero game of all time. I did so with a goal: to perserve the game for future generations and make it easy for someone to make games like it in the future. The game will be forever in licensing hell and its engine is stuck behind copyright. I rewrote the entire game to get around copyright and ready it for the creative commons.

Once I publish it, you won't have to do what I did to make your own game. You can copy the entire document and just edit it to make your own game. There will be no worry about copyright. Game mechanics can't be copyrighted to begin with but rewritting an entire game is a time consuming process and this removes it entirely.

I hope this will lead to people making things for the game again and help it see a resurgence.

Below is a draft. I need to review it before releasing this SRD free on itch and Drivethrurpg for errors and sucu.

You can see it below.

I decided to just release the SRD. That activates the license. It is now out on the Creative Commons for anyone who might want to use it for a derivative work.

I will probably release it on Drivethrurpg as well.

Yeah, I remember that being way harder back in the day. And it isn't super easy, but that didn't take any time at all. I probably should have done this as one post. Makes me look like an attention seeker. Oh well. For some reason, I thought there was an approval process. There is not.
