Thank you! This is going to be something special, though. This afternoon, I'm working on rules for the Stuck in Jam role playing game. The new site is going to be a place for players or contributors to use the rules and setting to tell their own stories. It's going to be a little tricky, legally, though. I need to be very clear what's mine, what's the group's, and what's yours. And coming up with the wording for that is what is causing the most delay now. Fortunately, there is already a lot of precedent for this kind of thing all over the internet.

    My ultimate goal, though, is to give everyone a springboard and framework to tell their own stories and OWN THEM. By posting to the site, you explicitly agree to the same licensing rules as everyone else, and to encourage collaboration its gotta be fairly wide open. But in case someone creates a trademarkable character that they'd like to use for profit... Well, I'd like to protect everyone as best I can, but there's going to be a certain amount of risk for everyone. So it will probably be best to treat this like an MMO for the most part. So, there's going to have to be a well worded and prominent disclaimer as well!

Hey! Have you looked at how these folks handle it? fallenlondon.storynexus.com... The storyline tidbits are often written by players.

    Do you play that regularly? I'm looking for some folks that are, so I can do some group tasks. Seems everyone I listed as a friend has quit playing. :(
