We weren't the first people to get burned on Meikyuu, and we probably won't be the last. It's a shame because that game rules so much.

grassy gnoll posted:I'll edit this post into nothingness if necessary, but mechanics are not copyrightable material. What's stopping you from making a clone with your own creative content? Kinda what someone else said, but there's a lot to Meikyuu that isn't just the rules. The game has a sense of humor that comes from its treatment of fantasy/RPG cliches and that shows up in the player classes and jobs, the monsters, the dungeons themselves, even the random encounter charts (of which there are roughly a billion). Even if we did copy the mechanics, that is a lot of stuff to make up. Also, the art. There's a fuckload of unique pictures that add a lot to the flavor of the game, and if we made a clone we'd either have to drop a lot of that or spend a shitload commissioning art for every class, monster, and magic item alongside other art throughout the book. The art thing was something we were trying to figure out when Bouken stopped answering our questions.
