Why can’t the fictional crowd do so as well ?

@limburger  Simple: Intellectual Property. If you want Star Wars you need something that’s approved by THE MOUSE. If you want a different IP you need someone who makes “official IP”.

You can’t put a copyright on history (yet) but just go and look at “weird wars” that are technically history but since they are fictional they are someone’s IP and you better not mess with them. As soon as you have fiction of any kind that is something someone dreamed up and has the rights to. See also: LotR, Cyberpunk, Fallout.

At that heroic rate of progress, by the end of 2026 I’ll probably have just about finished whatever is sitting on my painting desk right now. Having three young plague bearers in school and pre‑school has brought a whole cocktail of blessings into the house this year, so hobby time has been a bit of a moving target.

Oh I do feel that so much @avien and I am happy that I only spawned one little me in the world and she’s now at an age where there is not much Nurgle happening any more XD
