First post!

(Legal concerns.)

My original idea was to create a card game based of the Narbonic universe using Narbonic artwork for my personal amusement and send a copy to Shaenon Garrity as a thank you for hours (adding up to days or even weeks) of hilarious procrastination. Yet I haven't told her nor asked her permission, and something niggling in the back of my head tells me there may be legal issues dealing with the use of her creation and artwork. This could all probably be cleared up with an e-mail or something, but I haven't gotten around to it. If you think Shaenon really should know about this, her e-mail is linked above.

Let me just say that I have no intention of making a cent off of this. I'm a gamer, and I just want to design a game. I also have enough hubris to believe I can make a game good enough for commercial publication. If this game ever gets to that stage, and they okay submission and publication, I'll give the proceeds to Shaenon and Andrew or the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum. But right now, I'd be happy to finish this project and self-publish a copy for me and any other Narbonic fans.

Tomorrow, actual stuff about the game.
