looks absolutely marvelous, I'm sure I will add it to my collection. But I have a request is there any way that these kits could also come with the PDF, so if for example you wanted to make a room 12 x 12 you could print off the same floor tile three more times. One of the reasons I like world works is this ability to have the files and customize them to the gaming scenario. I understand that these are preprinted I have a Terra clips sewers, but I still would like the ability to print off and customize, part of gaming enjoyment for me and many others is the hobby craft aspect of the game. |

I am jealous yosefbender, of your portable files. My collection of WWG pieces are still small, but I find they are not portable at all, even though I don't have much. Though my Friar set is getting bigger all the time, I think more than half of the stuff I have built already. Maybe one day I will bother to get a system to portableize my stuff. Denny, I am sorry to hear WWG is being pirated. Once had someone PM me to share files of my paper stuff. Told him I couldn't do that and he came back with similar words, but that he thought maybe he might try once. He say my photos of some of the stuff I built, much of it was stuff I found for free, but I have a bunch of WWG and a couple of others stuff I bought. Was kind of offended that he would ask me to go there. I am just hoping that I buy enough stuff from those whos work I enjoy, that they can afford to stay in business. Kind of like my mechanic, would hate for him to quit business. When I buy from one site I noticed that my name and purchase number are printed on every page I print. That might be a tool to use to discourage pirating. Printing a file with someone elses name on it might remind someone not to share or remind someone that they have something stolen. I don't know how to make people not want to steal, though I do understand the being poor part. |

Any idea how much of the 'loss' of WWG digital business is due to piracy? And how much is due to the long build times for TLX Tiles? (Don't get me wrong, I think TLX is a great system. It's just that the tiles take so damned long to build that personally I'd much rather build other things.) |

I have a related question so I might as well post it here. How does WWG view posting kitbashes of custom TCP tiles that use custom textures or even shapes? |

TCP is a partnered property, so there are specific legal limitations there on sharing anything template related. In other words; TCP is a physical product and we really need it to remain there for a whole host of reasons, some obvious, some not so. |

I see. I will keep my templates for myself then. |

It is hard for me to understand stealing products ... that people can think it is their right or that it doesn't hurt anyone. It does seem you might be in a no win situation with the PDF stuff. It hurts even to think of WWG not producing PDF sets. You do need a core army of subscribers that in essence commissions the work and makes it sustainable. Hmm ... how to structure it though ... something like your own kick start program. I just don't know. |

Well, if you can identify anyone here in the Denver metro area, my cousin Vinnie still has his ball bat out in his garage collecting dust. He had to go into retirement when the Feds started sniffin around concerning several broken knee caps. |
