(Not that kind of fetish. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetishism" rel="nofollow noopener" referrerpolicy="origin">The other kind of fetish</a>. Well, <em>maybe </em>that kind of fetish, depending on the fulminaturge.)</li><li>I knew that the one-shot would involve a precursor to the modern roadside attraction based on SP Dinsmoor's <em>Garden of Eden</em>. (I will probably change details of this while still making my inspiration clear.)</li></ul> <p>While I'm doing this, I'm also compiling sources--articles, books, even images--that serve as inspiration.

One of the challenges of scenario-writing, instead of being a developer, is that you have to work within the confines of copyright and other people's games. If you can develop and then write for your own game, that's great, but many of us (me) are good at writing scenario but not good at the more mechanical side of development.</p><p>Here's a good rundown of what is and is not copyrightable in games, though they use the most famous and litigious example (the Dungeon Game): <a href="https://gsllcblog.com/2019/08/12/part1statblocks/" rel="nofollow noopener" referrerpolicy="origin">https://gsllcblog.com/2019/08/12/part1statblocks/</a></p><p>Personally, the game I plan on writing for has a community content program on DriveThru, but not here. Since I plan on using setting/lore concepts from the original game, I plan on publishing my Yojambo entry as a free ashcan version and then making a "nice" version for the community content program, at which point I'll remove the ashcan from itch. This is kind of a legal gray area, to be clear, but one I feel is probably not going to land me in hot water, any more than sharing free game content on a  blog would. </p><p>If you want to keep yourself in the clear, you can always write a scenario for a game with a creative common license, like TROIKA! or Mörk Borg or, well, most of the other OSR games. (There's a reason there's a lot of scenario content for OSR games compared to other indies... it's easier to write scenario content when you know you're legally in the clear!) Other games have OGL or CC for their generic or SRD system (PbtA, FATE, FitD) but not necessarily for the <em>specific properties</em> you may be hoping to write scenario content for, like Blades in the Dark or Masks.</p><p>That said, ultimately I don't see Yojambo as an enterprise I'm personally doing to make money on scenario writing, I personally see it as a way to increase adoption of indies games among D&D fans by increasing the supply of scenario content, and as practice module writing. </p></div><div class="post_footer"><a data-register_action="community_reply" class="post_action reply_btn" href="/login?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fitch.io%2Fprofile%2Fsailortitan&intent=community">Reply</a></div></div></div></div><script type="text/template" id="vote_counts_tpl"><% if (up_score > 0) { %><span class="upvotes">(+{{up_score}})</span><% } %><% if (down_score > 0) { %><span class="downvotes">(-{{down_score}})</span><% } %></script></div></div><div class="topic_post_row"><div class="topic_title"><a href="https://natetreme.itch.io/hps-doodle-tiles/comments">HPS Doodle Tiles comments</a><span> · </span>Posted in <a href="/post/3314610/view-in-topic">HPS Doodle Tiles comments</a></div><div id="community_post_list_7049169" class="community_post_list_widget base_widget"><div class="community_post" id="post-3314610" data-post="{"id":3314610,"user_id":1554889}"><div id="first-post" class="post_anchor"></div><div id="last-post" class="post_anchor"></div><div class="post_grid"><a class="avatar_container" href="/profile/sailortitan"><div class="post_avatar" style="background-image: url(https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzQ2MDk1ODcuanBn/25x25%23/xjKWLP.jpg)"></div></a><div class="post_header"><span class="post_author"><a href="/profile/sailortitan">sailortitan</a></span><span class="post_date" title="2021-05-14 15:18:01"><a href="/post/3314610">3 years ago</a></span></div><div class="post_content"><div class="post_body user_formatted" dir="auto"><p>Excited to get the new tileset after loving HPS Cartography for my Ryuutama game.

I will admit, when I picked up Omphalos, I found it a little less helpful for my Ryuutama game that I expected because a lot of it was very *specific.* Like Andrea, I was hoping for something a bit more generic and reusable for fantasy OSR. While there is tons of lovely, evocative, very specific stuff here, it means once I've drawn the 10 of Swords for a town... I should probably take it out of the deck. It's too specific to be reused on additional towns. <br><br>There's still a lot of great stuff in Omphalos and for <em>His Majesty the Worm</em> I think it will be fantastic. It's still useful for setting generation, but more in the way of PARIAH or A Thousand Thousand Islands--this is very much specific metaplot to help you generate detailed session content, not so much broad idea generation.</p></div><div class="post_footer"><a data-register_action="community_reply" class="post_action reply_btn" href="/login?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fitch.io%2Fprofile%2Fsailortitan&intent=community">Reply</a></div></div></div></div><script type="text/template" id="vote_counts_tpl"><% if (up_score > 0) { %><span class="upvotes">(+{{up_score}})</span><% } %><% if (down_score > 0) { %><span class="downvotes">(-{{down_score}})</span><% } %></script></div></div><div class="topic_post_row"><div class="topic_title"><a href="https://one-shot-podcast.itch.io/the-skyjacks-zine-vol-1/comments">The Skyjacks Setting Zine Volume 1 comments</a><span> · </span>Posted in <a href="/post/2378558/view-in-topic">The Skyjacks Setting Zine Volume 1 comments</a></div><div id="community_post_list_1443549" class="community_post_list_widget base_widget"><div class="community_post" id="post-2378558" data-post="{"id":2378558,"user_id":1554889}"><div id="first-post" class="post_anchor"></div><div id="last-post" class="post_anchor"></div><div class="post_grid"><a class="avatar_container" href="/profile/sailortitan"><div class="post_avatar" style="background-image: url(https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzQ2MDk1ODcuanBn/25x25%23/xjKWLP.jpg)"></div></a><div class="post_header"><span class="post_author"><a href="/profile/sailortitan">sailortitan</a></span><span class="post_date" title="2021-01-04 15:23:43"><a href="/post/2378558">3 years ago</a></span></div><div class="post_content"><div class="post_body user_formatted" dir="auto"><p>Hey!
