Snarky Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Can I make a "Not even close to white and seven mostly not vertically challenged MM?" or is that too close to the next big screen movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herotu Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 The Grimm family should be righteously very angry. 1 ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story may be public domain, but out of curiosity, if the character resembles, say, Disney's iconic look for the apple-tainted individual, does that create a violation? Expanding on that further, if a work of any kind is derived from a public domain item, but the formal title for the new work is "SoAndSo's [insert fairy tale classic here]" does this make the new work a protected product at least in regards to the look, and possibly modifications to the character, story, or name? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanguinesun Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) For any of those familiar with the I-series of modules from D&D (Tracy Hickman of DragonLance fame did a bunch in that series including the one's this relates to and the Ravenloft ones) The Lost Tomb of Martek module(I5 I believe and last of the Desert of Desolation series) made a perfect passing and humous reference that fits better for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Snow Dwarf and the Seven Wites. Perfect for a Necro/Cold mm 😛 Only other book from it I remember was Gone With the Air Elemental but there were more. 😛 Edited August 12, 2023 by Sanguinesun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etched Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Holy monkey! Everyone actually agrees on something and it's porn/exotica. However, I surprised no one mentioned Alan Moores trilogy The Lost Girls. If you haven't already read them I suggest to do so. @Etched 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are many of Disney's properties, but they aggressively and ceaselessly issue C&Ds and lawsuits over anything that so much as resembles a blurry reflection in a puddle of anything they can claim as their proprietary version. Been there. Worked long on a project that involved a version of Zorro taken from the original, long-PD novels. There was no way (as a non multinational megacorp) to represent the character without crossing onto Disney's turf. 1 UPDATED: v4.15 Technical Guide (post 27p7)... 154 pages of comprehensive and validated info on on the nuts and bolts!ALSO: GABS Bindfile · WindowScaler · Teleport Guide · and City of Zeroes all at www.Shenanigunner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be where it crosses the line. The character of Thor dates back many centuries in Norse lore. In Norse lore, he had red hair. If you make a blond Thor with a costume that looks like one of the Marvel ones, that's infringing. 3 Originally on Infinity.

Yes Sir Snarky, you can absolutely make a Mastermind if you want... 🙂 And ya know, if you make any "Not even close to white and seven not vertically challenged MM", that is called a basic Mastermind. People do it all the time lol... And now for something completely different.... 1 Please come and join us on Friday at 6pm Central Time for our Friday Fashion Costume Contest (see the link below).
