Glutton Creeper shifts to Wasteland?

[ Game -> Update ] - More info on <a href="#Glutton Creeper Games">Company: Glutton Creeper Games</a> | More info on <a href="#Fallout d20">Game: Fallout d20</a>

After the trouble with Bethesda, Glutton Creeper Games has reanalyzed its strategy:<blockquote>If you have not been following the news on Glutton Creeper Games,
ZeniMax Media (owner of Bethesda) has filed an injunction against GCG
and Interplay to stop print for Fallout PnP d20, under penalties of
damages to the Fallout Brand name and Fallout 3 if we promote or print
said books. Interplay states that they are going to determine what step
to take next, against the statements of ZeniMax that now owns the
Fallout IP Brand. ZeniMax states that Interplay never had the rights to
license Fallout to GCG under their contract license from 2004 for the
Fallout computer series.


We area attempting to get a copy of this license to present to our own
lawyer, to determine our step. If Fallout d20 does not print, we plan
to change the IP of the first book which is about 30% of it and change
it into "The Wasteland Survivor's Guide" in a similar PA setting.
However the Overseer's Guide would have to be scrapped as it contains
90% IP and is at 50% complete.


Just wanted to keep everyone updated,


John

It will be interesting to see what happens.

That would actually be a welcome change for all parties involved. However, they can forget any synergies with Bethesda developing Fallout 3, but on the other hand meddling with Wasteland doesn't incite emotional bursts of same magnitude among the Fallout fans as a Fallout PnP would.

Zenimax is full of flamin swell guy.

They dont want a pnp FO to detract from the EXTREEMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE action in their new FO3 FPS.

The fact that 'lawyer' is singular means they've already lost.

Goodbye, crappy Fallout PnP. You cute liddle FalloutBoys will be missed.

I would like to point out that GCG is NOT planning to switch to the Wasteland setting. Some people seem to infer that from the recent statement on the official site, but that is an incorrect interpretation of somewhat ambigeous wording. He was merely referring to plans on shifting to their own postapocalyptic setting. That's what John Wyatt told me.

A PnP FO wont mix well with oblivion with guns.

Bethesda: "Can you guys make it real time?"
GCG: "No."
Bethesda: "GTFO FAGS."
