The "weapons expert" is a separate project.


I *did* see all of the characters presented on this page on the front cover of Rising Sun (on FGU's home page) except him...  Any teasers on that project yet?

Not yet, that's just a little something to wet your appetite.  Wink

Rising Sun has been announced on FGU's website.  It doesn't seem to be for sale, yet.

It's not quite ready, as I'm working on some edits. Once that's done, and it's give a "final" read through, it should be ready for sale.

And because of those edits, we need to do the entire page reflow layout again. It's a pain, but will be worth it.

Yeah, I can assure you it will be worth it.  Lots of cool characters, a good plot, and great art and counters.  Everything you look for in a great V&V adventure!

It's getting there guys, had a VERY busy weekend at work, and racked up well over 40 hours in only three days. So please be patient.

Alright gents, after much delay on my part, I'm shooting the manuscript for Rising Sun to FGU for one last look over. So hopefully there aren't any major issues to resolve.

Until then, here's a preview pic of another project that's currently under development.

So my question is this...

can anyone submit anything to fantasy games unlimited?

can it have anything to do with previously used material by FGU?

or are things like the Crusaders, Dr apocalypse, force, Most Wanted villains or any other material produced by fantasy games unlimited, unavailable due to copyrights?

only because I believe there are stories that could be told with a lot of the existing characters. Such as let's say a prison break mod.

I can pretty much do the whole thing myself, I'm a whirlwind of creativity. Including writing,necessary stats, events, characters and any needed artwork.

for me submitting something to either company would be cool.
it's just I'd like to know what the availability of existing material would be.

that's all.

I might get some advice from both AlabasterKnight and Dsumner first. But thanks Baretta, I'm well aware of their submission guidelines. Thanks!

Only non-powered Earth-humans.  Scott doesn't trust off-worlders and paranormals always attract trouble!

As long as you have express permission to use already-published characters/material from the copyright owner, you're good.

The Crusaders, the Crushers, and the characters in Most Wanted belong to Jeff Dee and Jack Herman. Dr Apocalypse, and the Destroyers belong to Bill Willingham. Force and the characters from Assassin belong to Tom Dowd. You'd have to get permission from all of them to use those characters.

Final layout on Rising Sun is done, it's going to get one final read through, and if it gets the thumbs up, it'll be ready for release.

Hmm...apparently I missed posting these. Ramble's list of upcoming books:

World War II Super Soldiers
Peril in Panama
Home Front
Divided We Stand / United We Fall
APB - Strand
The Streets of Strand
Catalyst

And I believe he may have one more manuscript as well, but I'll let him answer that.

We'll see, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from you guys, as it's the only way I'll be able to make the next one better.

Hi John,
I have formatted Giant No. 8 (containing Menagerie, GB2, and Rising Sun) to go to print; however, the publisher has to ensure resources for the print run... and he is looking into it.
Short answer?
"Not sure."

{{{EDITED}}} The one possible exception might be the use of CHESS and Intercrime, who appear in the rules (Revised Rules) as example agencies: An author should have some reasonable flexibility to use those agencies as very minor supporting characters in the story. Several authors who are not the authors who created that agency have used them reasonably. One author even used them to clone his agency.

James, I'd double check on that.

Nope, they're original characters Joe created specifically for the book.
