    Well whoever those guys might be, that was a very lame excuse from them not not to move a finger. nobody asked them to program the whole thing but to provide know how. And on the other side, I do not think that a fan-made mod with no commercial goal can be considered any copyright infringement. Still, Marvel could be asked to give permission and will probably grant it for non-profit usage...

    So I guess I am going to treat it (Marvel RPG) like the Battlegrounds Software and will just have to use FGII as a digital roller but still be able to load maps and keep track of other things by old school Pen and Pencil. A skin background would be great and rules set but playing the game is more important to me than having all the bells and whistles.

    Just came across this thread...been awhile with no activity. I guess I fall in the group of people who would love to see MSH come to Fantasy Grounds but lack the technical ability to make it happen. We played it on Roll20 for awhile but pretty much just to load maps and roll dice. Fantasy Grounds could do a lot more for the online experience. I'm a fan of Savage Worlds and I've been toying with characters using the SW Supers Companion. Its certainly doable but characters can become very complex in the number of Powers that have to be managed/remembered. FASERIP is a much simpler approach to supers and a blast to play! Here's hoping for some progress

    Rooster Cogburn: Shot? Or killed?
    Cross-examining Lawyer: Let us restrict it to killed so we may have a manageable figure!

    Aren't the actual rules freely floating around the web because there is no longer an active copyright on the rules?

    The rules might have expired, but I don't believe the images or names referenced in them would be usable due to copyright on all of those. It's a tricky enough situation that I would encourage caution in sharing any content. Rules themselves are never protected by copyright, though, so you could make a character sheet and automate each of the rules as long as you didn't use the same name, logos or images.

    No, the rules are floating around the web because someone has broken copyright. There is no such thing as "abandondware" or anything similar - just because something isn't being supported any longer does not mean that copyright has lapsed. Copyright only lapses 50 or 75 or 99 years (depending upon the jurisdiction where the material is first published) after the death of the "author".

    And even if something is placed on the web for free by the copyright owner, unless they explicitly state that they are giving up their copyright (and I can't think of anyone who has, baring SRDs, and even then I'd read the license very carefully) then copyright is still in effect.

    In the particular case of Marvel, most of the characters, etc, are still in active publication (movies, comics, etc) so the 50-year-rule doesn't even start to apply. And as for TSR/WotC/Hasbro, you can bet your adamantium claws that they'll enforce their copyright as well.

    Indeed, dice might not be well visible on the dark background.

    Reading through the thread, it doesn't look like it was ever completed, and it is not in the wiki.

    That's a bummer. My group had a lot of fun with this system at the table.
