Ndreare Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 I am, curious, who owns the rights to the rules and mechanics presented in Fuzion? Are they still avaiable for license (Like Sendoku and Victoriana) or are they locked away forever?Specifically the Fuzion rules presented in Champions New Millenium with all the plug ins, but not the setting (which I assume is now owned by Cryptic Studios).

As far as I know, Fusion is jointly owned by Hero Games and R. Tasorian Games. Both companies are doing nothing with it right now, but that doesn't mean it is free and proper to print.

HeroGM Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 At one time Fuzion..just the little rules set was free to dl. NO setting information, just the dirt bone rulesset. Ndreare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I uploaded is off the wayback website and was tagged as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Goodwin Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Fuzion is owned by R. Talsorian Games. From the DOJ FAQ page: Q: What about the Fuzion rules? What's going to happen to them? A: DOJ has no rights to Fuzion, and so will not publish products using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Goodwin Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 If you want a Fuzion-like system that is open licensed (via the OGL 1.0a), the Action! System is what you're looking for. It was written by Mark Arsenault and published by Gold Rush Games. It sits at a midpoint between Fuzion and Hero. The core rules can be had from archive.org: https://archive.org/details/action-core-free They've been available at various times from DrivethruRPG, but not at the moment. There are a bunch of extras that go with it that I think are all free, but I can't find through Google searching at the moment.
