News Brief

You might be wondering why there have not been any updated in several months, and the answer is this. I was disillusioned with Palladium. I know this might sound a little harsh, but its the truth. With the possibility of a Palladium-Rifts movie the possibility of the MGMC Software package was shelved, blow number one. Then Maryann left Palladium, and with it the only reliable contact I have meet there, blow number two. And then the announcement that no more manuscripts would be accepted, blow three. And lastly, when I went to post my new site (the one you are on) I was told that it might violate Palladiums IP issues, blow number four.

Had any one or  two of these happened I could have dealt with it. Even perhaps three issues, but when I was told my fan-site violated their Intellectual Property (IP) I gave up. Give me a break, it is a game based on theirs, I have posted no rules from any of their games, it uses the Rifts or Heroes rule system and is meant to be a fans work for a company/product they liked. And to be told that I cant do it because it might infringe on their stuff. Give me a break! Then to top it off Wayne emails me and says you can always submit it to the Rifter. So my work is a violation (possibly) of Palladium rights, but you would consider printing it yourself?? That makes perfect sense.

Well fine then, I invited them to review the material and tell me a straight forward yes or no answer. Does it infringe on their IP issues or not? After over 6 weeks of waiting I gave up, that was 5 months ago. It seems that Palladium can't get around to it, so to hell with them. I will continue on without them. I do this because I love to write and because it is something I enjoy. So if Palladium has a problem with that, then maybe they should have contacted me in the 5 months since the declared this site a possible violate, I choose to take their silence as a 'go-ahead'. And if any Palladium staffers happens to be reading this tell Wayne to email me if there is a problem.
