Subject: [gworld] Gamma World Petition

Hello,

My name is Craig Janssen. I have been among many things, a long time
fan of the TSR's Gamma World RPG. I was elected to present this
petition to WotC/TSR. In my opinion, it is a just request and desires
your attention. I have been a long time supporter of WotC and even
TSR. I think it would go a long way, for WotC/TSR to show it's support
for a small but growing group of gamers.

The url for the petition can be found at:
http://www-db.vntech.com/arpiji2/gamma1a.exe?selection=Petition

Thank you for your time,

Craig Janssen

Dear Sir or Madam,

 We, the undersigned, are a collective group of Gamma World players
 and GameMasters who trade ideas, suggestions and discussion using
 an e-mail subscription list. Subscribers from this list are located
 worldwide, with concentrations in the United States, Canada,
 Australia, and the United Kingdom.

 We understand that recently TSR has allowed certain out of print
 modules, aides and rule books to be scanned in by individuals and
 distributed via approved Official TSR sites and/or representatives
 (Referring to the Star Frontiers fans' request to publish out of
 print material on CD Rom media).

 With your permission, we would like the opportunity to make Gamma
 World materials available through these methods. Our mail list
 consists of many members with a wide range of equipment including
 scanners, web servers, and CD/ROM burners, and as a group we have
 most, if not all material published in relation to this game from
 Metamorphosis Alpha through the Gamma World Editions to
 Metamorphosis Alpha to Omega, including the first, second, third
 and fourth edition rule books and many of the support modules. We
 are not seeking monetary gain for this endeavor; we are motivated
 only by a desire to keep this entertaining and unique game alive
 and growing. Hopefully we will be able to reach and attract new
 gamers to the Gamma World fold through this effort.

 We would be interested in more specific detail about what would
 be permissible, what would NOT be permissible, and what process
 would be necessary to make sure we do not infringe or violate
 any copyrights, patents, or trademarks or offend any policy of
 TSR/WoTC.

 If this is something that is feasible and TSR/WoTC would be
 interested in developing a dialog with us regarding this issue,
 we can be reached as a group via the Gamma World mailing list.
 Please accept our sincere invitation to join us.

 To subscribe, send e-mail to "Majordomo@saranxis.ruhr.de" with
 the following command in the body of your email message:
 subscribe gworld (your email address).

 If you would prefer to speak one on one to a member of this
 mailing list, please e-mail webmaster@arpiji.org.

 We look forward to hearing from you and are hopeful that we will
 be able to find an agreement beneficial to both TSR/WoTC and
 to those loyal to the Gamma World FRP gaming system.

 Sincerely,

We, the unsigned
