Mark Taylor got a reaction from Constantine in At what point can HERO sue?
Re: At what point can HERO sue?
Err... if RPG companies made a habit of suing each other for taking ideas from (or even blatantly ripping off) their game mechanics, practically every RPG company on the planet would be suing practically every other RPG company on the planet. It just doesn't work that way, and we should all be grateful for the fact, because if it did, RPGs (including the HERO System) would simply never have been able to develop and advance to the extent they have today.
If every system designer had to design a unique and orignal game system that was different from everything else that had previously been done, we'd be stuck with an awful lot of bizarre and completely unplayable systems, because most of the ideas which actually work in practice have already been done.
Fact is, if you look at a wide range of RPG systems rather than focusing on HERO and d20 it becomes obvious that there is not one RPG on the market today that has not adopted a significant amount of system ideas from other RPGs. IMO, the whole concept that HERO Games could or should sue WotC or SJG over something like this seems to run utterly against the grain of the entire game design scene and how it has developed over the years.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings
I am so tired of lies.
And backstabbing.
And stress.
It's always worse when it comes from your own family.

Re: Musings on Random Musings
He should wear a purple crushed velvet hat with a big ass feather in it when he plays because his pimptitude level is off the scale!
