[PnP] Powers and Perils Rights

[Albert Sales]

Thank you, that is what I was asking. I know about the rights when done for hire (or solicitations), but wasn't sure how P&P was constructed. I've done some looking at the release policies that they have in various places, and have found some really mixed possitions. In some places (mainly for software), they are no solicitation, all rights reserved and withheld. However, they have fully opened the door for independants on many other things (take a look at the d20 stuff to see what I mean about the open door). I have no idea where in these policies the P&P will fall, but I have the highest hopes. The proposal was reasonable, at no risk to WoC, and negotiable. This seems more than reasonable.
   However, a similar solicitation (reasonable, no risk and beyond negotiable) was turned down by hasbro about 18 months ago for a redo on X-Com (which they held). They have, however re-released it after seeing the level of interest. This point we can all help with. If those of us on the list are willing to send in e-mails of support, or make a list of support, it will strengthen the chance for acceptance. We are the consumers who will buy products in this line, and if we can show a demand before a supply, the business will have more incentive to accept the offer. I do not know how to set up web-lists, however. If someone could help me set it up, I would be more than happy to host it (and foreward the response).
   My best hopes go with the acceptance of the letter. Thank you for letting us know and see the plans, and let us know if we can help in anyway. I eagerly await the result.
