I was just wondering which star wars rules you were talking about. The old west end games or the d20 star wars. Just out of curiosity and not much else. I knowt he west end books are no longer in print so I am not sure if that matters or not.

The reason I ask is because I have a number of source books for the Star Wars roll playing game I'm in the process of converting to text or html. Once I'm done scanning and editing the source books I'd like to redistribute them to other blind gamers, but am not clear where I stand legally. I could submit them to Bookshare.org to have them converted to Daisy format, which would be one way of legally redistributing them, but most of the gamers here live outside the US so don't qualify for Bookshare. Therefore while submitting the scanned copies to Bookshare would be the legal thing to do it defeats the purpose of trying to redistribute them to other blind gamers here who might wish to join me in getting a weekly Star Wars roll playing game going similar to what Phil and others do with Dungeons and Dragons. So what i've been thinking of doing is zipping them and hosting them on the USA Games website, but I believe in order to legally distribute them they have to be in some specific accessibility format like Dasy and can't be in an all purpose format like text or html which I feel is more accessible than Daisy. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
