beasterbrook wrote in THE CODEX OF DREADSPIRE:Even the most basic of Google search will reveal that I have a copy of this.. there are only a couple of references on the internet.. one that was sold at NK back in 2007 to ? and the others are all the same, there is my photo and 2 people copied the same photo into their photobucket, there is my collection listing it and a guy saying he has one in the collection he unpacked.. this is the one I bought..While I have been know to give copies of stuff to original writers his comment of "I could care less about copyright, this is purely a nostalgic quest on my part. I would be happy, if I can get a copy or a pdf, to put up a facebook group and give it away for free." dosen't inspire me all that much.. if I really wanted to do that I prob could, he should get the permission of his ex-wife as well.. I was told it was written by 2 guys as well.. so there is some inconsistency there as well.. on top of that I don't think the writers were mentioned in the book by name.. I see that some guy has said he "may" have a copy on facebook so he may have luck on his side and not have to worry about me at all;)Brette:)
gloriousbattle wrote in THE CODEX OF DREADSPIRE:Well, I have to confess I don't understand this. You seem to be angry with me over the fact that I discovered an old work of mine was still in existence, and would like a copy of it. You don't seem to like the idea that I want to put it up on the web so that others can enjoy it. As to my ex, we lost touch many years ago, and she never expressed any interest in this rulebook.If you look the game up on RPGGeek, you will fine that both she and I are credited as the authors. I can direct you to a government website that will prove who I am. If that is not enough, I could probably tell you what little I remember of its contents. I wrote the thing 28 years (or so) ago, after all. In the last analysis, what you have is yours and not mine, but if you could see your way clear to send me a pdf, it would be appreciated by me. I have no desire to take the physical copy from you, and you are very welcome to it.Regards,John Vogel

gloriousbattle wrote in THE CODEX OF DREADSPIRE:Well, I came to the Acaeum looking for this, which has proven to be everything it is rumored to be. It really is a sad state of affairs when old grognards with nothing better to do sit on rulebooks of no value to anyone, and bark and snap at the guy who made the thing in the first place, on the sorry excuse of copyright. Dude, nobody cares, including me. If your holy mission is insulted or violated in some way by my getting a pdf of the thing, then by all means, don't give me one. If I never come up with one, I won't lose any sleep. This was all about fun, a concept to which you seem to be a stranger. Ciao.
gloriousbattle wrote in THE CODEX OF DREADSPIRE:Oh, yeah. Been married a few times, in case that also is important to you. This is because guys who are not completely locked in gamerdom occasionally meet girls. :wink:

Obviously before posting to the forum, you had a misconception of the site. Is that why you asked someone else to post in your place?gloriousbattle wrote in THE CODEX OF DREADSPIRE:Oh, yeah.

That's where you're going with this? This is wishful thinking on your part. There are many members on here who are married and have families. And I am sure many more of the others with girlfriends or boyfriends.

gloriousbattle wrote in THE CODEX OF DREADSPIRE:This from the guy who starts in with the jester hat icon? God, this place is a walking anti-gamer stereotype.
