Default Re: 40k RPG Rules?

The whole issue is though, most companies are fine with the scanning/sharing of rules like that through a forum. GW is not. Even if it were sent via a PM, if I were to accept it (being an Admin) and knowingly particpate in an IP violation of GW's stuff, then the forums as a whole could be brought under a lawsuit and shut down.

Now, that doesn't mean you can't use them in your RP's, and that you can't help walk someone through the process. But the sending of typed up or scanned pages from the rulebook is highly illegal, and as an Admin, I can't really participate in it, or the forums could be harmed.

Though, i'm more than open to speak to you Tomorrow or Teusday on the merits of the percentile system over d20, etc ...
