Old gamma world modules

[damned]

What scribd is doing is allowing people to upload content that isnt theirs and then charge people for access to it.
Now 99% of their content may be legitimate (Im not going to guess at the %) but everytime I search for something and it shows up on scribd Im highly doubtful.

Why is this thread here at all at this point?

It's like we're saying it's ok to post pirated materials sites as long as we argue about it.

I totally agree.

I think it's here because regardless of whether some people are offended by some of the content on the site, blackballing a "legit" site isn't the solution (and it seems like that is what might have been where things were going earlier in the thread before Andraax started pushing back a bit.)

*EVERY* file share site on the internet has instances of copyright infringement. It comes with the territory. But you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. YouTube anyone?

Early Gamma World editions, for example, probably fall into the same category as Star Frontiers. And for over a decade WotC allowed "Remastered" and unofficial pdf's of it to be widely distributed. It's only once they started offering "official" PoD versions of the property in the last year that they changed course and asked the remasters to be removed from public consumption. I'd pause before assuming that early, out-of-print, and unavailable editions of GW sit in a more protected class than Star Frontiers did (pre-PoD availability.)

Trenloe's link details it, but for quick reference, it's a minimum of 70 years.

I'm tryin to track down the original gamma world modules....alpha factor,etc in a pdf form. Everywhere I go they list they existed but theres no way to buy and/or download them.

I don't like backwater sites...usually have malware. Anyone got any links they can point me towards?

Hi Kefrem,

I'll check my stuff but I think i purchased that back in the day and actually own it... the physical copy. I'll do some digging tonight and let you know.

Thanks Disney! </sarcasm>

Seriously, the original 28 years with a single 14 year extension was perfectly fine.
