Howard Day's
« on: April 21, 2007, 07:31:34 AM »
My Peoples,

     This year I will be attending Howard Day's in Crossplains, Tx(REH's hometown and where he lived all of his life).  A friend of mine is giving a lecture on Howard's "Thurian Age" (The world of KULL) and I am going to support my friend as this is his first presentation he has ever given, outside of college.  As you may or may not know, Paradox (Dark Lord's curse on them) holds the rights to most of REH's works.  I have found out there will be several reps from Paradox there and was considering giving them a piece of my mind (and a swift kick in the butt).  Does anyone have any "sentiments" they wish me to express to the "gentlemen"  from Paradox while I'm at it.

BTW- REH stands for Robert E. Howard, the creator of CONAN, KULL, Bran Mac Morn, Soloman Kane, etc.

Hello.

You would be wasting your time. They see money and only money, we "diehards" don't register to them. The rights to Mutant Chronicles belong to them as an IP, the joy of playing with good people belongs to us. The game lives and Paradox to me is a burr on the ass of reality.

Tell them that we still live and still have money to spend.  Ask them how much they have lost by gambling on a loser movie and collectable game that will never sell.

Good luck, DogOWar.  It may not make a difference, but at least the reps will see that there are people out there that are passionate and dedicated about Chronopia and Warzone.  It's a long shot, but who knows?

they wonīt (exept someone catched fire, but most likely not the big boss...)

if any decision guy would be a  fan, they would have extended the licence... (or rented it away again with better conditions..)

I wouldn't waste my breath - you'd only come across as a nutjob fanboy to them. But if any of the Dark Horse guys are there give them props for their Conan comic - I believe more swords and sorcery than the Marvel days (except for Savage Sword) and more  true to the portrayal of Howard's vision.
