Chris Goodwin Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well... they did make a PDF of Robot Warriors, and my own bias notwithstanding I think there's probably a lot more demand for Strike Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Baker Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Any plan to re-publish the older works has the same initial stumbling block as Strike Force. Who actually has the rights? Digital rights were not something you found in the contracts 30 years ago, so that may be a problem. (I'm ignoring the cost of producing the works as that's already been covered.)

Tasha Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Again it depends on the contract that covers the work. It also occurs to me that with many changes of publishers and management. That some of that paperwork may not exist anymore. Still, until you ask for something you don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of the point of my post. re: lost documentation Actually complicates things even more since now you have to hunt down the rights owners, and that can be costly in both time and money. re: doesn't hurt to ask Absolutely.

Greywind Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 re: lost documentation Actually complicates things even more since now you have to hunt down the rights owners, and that can be costly in both time and money. Which is why Bill Willingham doesn't know who owns The Elementals at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Watts Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 The Allston estate *definitely* owns the rights to all of Aaron's work. There aren't any ambiguities there. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I can't believe anyone would pay this, but it's listed used on Amazon (3rd party seller of course) for $450! I'd sell mine instantly for $450. But I'd cry when I put it in the mailbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzidemus Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have a copy, and I wouldnt sell, I love the way Aaron wrote all of his suppliments especially for Champs. I guess i was an imperessionable sidekick all those years ago. Blue Books, Brownie Points. Strikeforce and his other works IMHO helped shape Champions. I find it interesting that the Powers That Be have chosen to leave so much behind, either through the dislike of a character or the departure of a writer/ artist. a 30 year old game has History. I understand the legal aspect of it. However I think the attempt should be made to update a classic everynow and again. With Aaron's estate i understand, but there may be other that can be contacted, Lol its called re-negotiation. I'm sure I'm over simplifying things. In the end i'm just a fan like everyone else here.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'd love to do a rebooted version of that for 6th edition; apparently the late Mr Allston was working on a sequel for it, but never got it finished. It would be wonderful to have that compiled with the old stuff and updated. We did remakes of a lot of the characters for 6th edition in a thread a while back.
