fiat_knoxSomeone on a Traveller forum asked the forumites to design a board game based on Traveller to teach his kids about the game.
I thought "Buy them the Spinward Marches map pack and run them through a game. What, you expect someone to come along and make up a board game that you can go and get a license for? We do all the sweat work, and you run off and make all the money? Somebody can go and suck on Yaskoydray's left wing brace."
Edit: Some wingnut has bit the bait, and actually laid out a sketch for a game. Repeat after me: You cannot copyright an idea! You cannot copyright an idea! You cannot copyright an idea!
Honestly.
