Old PBM Resources

[shimeril]

I'm just wondering whether we have the ability, and for that matter the storage capacity, to start putting some resources against the Wiki from old games.

For example, I scanned the Realms of Fantasy rulebook at work (shh!) earlier this week with the idea of popping it into the Wiki as the company I played it through (Australian Wizard - aka Kevin Flynn) has an entry with a sub-entry for that game. Before I attempt to go any further I figured I'd best ask if that is ok.

I have quite a few other rule books, some old turns, and some terrific resources like The World Beyond, which was an attempt by some Aussie PBM companies to band together and create their own little PBM fanzine/ad collection.

So is that practical and within the spirit of what the site is for?

I am receptive to virtually anything PBM-related being posted and hosted on this site.

That said, I have no desire to run afoul of anyone's copyright or trademark rights. Some may not care, one way or the other, about whether their material is scanned and posted here, whereas others might.

We could try to track down the respective owners of various PBM material, before posting it. That would probably be the prudent thing to do.

Sounds fair - I'll see if I can track down authors before posting anything then.
