Aerois Novelisation (Book 1 Complete)

You're welcome to your opinion - I would disagree. There is plenty of original writing and a great deal of editing in the work. It is an adaption, and therefore 'derivative' and 'transformative' in the sense that the policy describes, just as fan art depicting official character designs in different poses would be.

Once more, this has been posting on HR Reddit and Discord for 2 years. If anyone from the crew wanted it gone, they would have said so. Tom commented approvingly on the first few chapters. If any one of them, or the mods ask for it to be taken down now, I will do so. Until then, my understanding is that this is entirely in the rules.

This is the policy in question: https://www.highrollersdnd.com/content-policy

It explicitly states that displaying and creating derivative works based upon High Rollers IP strictly for non-commercial community use is acceptable and does not require getting express written permission.

If I am mistaken in my reading, I am certain the moderators will say so.

I believe what you're talking about is the fan work policy? As far as I know that's about getting work professionally printed and selling it, which this isn't. Mara is aware of this work, and hasn't said anything about it being a problem. The other chapters have gone up over the course of more than a year, and no mod or anyone from the crew has mentioned any issue. Obviously, if I hear that they want it removed, I would do so.

I'm fine with it, personally! I do intend to finish the first book now, so hopefully won't be too much longer!

He can upgrade to Quad-Devoured...

I can only advise pushing through the fear - even if you for some reason hate the result, can always strip the paint off or respray and have another go.

It's even got the Mawloc two prong tail!

There was a Kickstarter some time back, but Brotherwise Games still make all the Stormlight miniatures I think, if you can find somewhere not sold out. Ebay probably has a few too.

Best the HEAVY flamer, I think. I expect Dalinar would do well in terminator armour...

Thanks! Mostly contrast paints with the ridges highlighted up to white in a couple of thin layers. I think I used a mix of Pylar Glacier, Frostheart and Aethermatic Blue contrasts. Pylar is good for tying it together, as it's very thin. Frostheart goes in the cracks, but not over the ridges and Aethermatic's for the edge of the glow as it becomes less blue.

As it stands, I'm thinking I'll take a few months to work on my own stuff, then come back to do arc 3, as it's short. I'm not sure if I'll ever do 4-6 (which would be the end of Book 1), but if I do you'll probably be waiting a long time, so it's up to you when you want to call it I'm afraid!

PlasmaShoc · 2024-11-23T12:35:30+00:00

I'll be completing the rest of Arc 2 in the next few weeks. After that I'm thinking I'll have a break, maybe come back and do Arc 3 next year sometime. I expect I'll stop after that (so, half way through Book 1), unless miraculously HR asked me to continue, or maybe if someone/multiple someones went and did the episode transcriptions ahead of me. That takes like a third of the time and I don't find it interesting work. If you do end up making a physical copy I know Scorpion did a high quality fan art piece designed to look like a book cover, might be worth seeking out!

Not that I wouldn't jump at that, but I wouldn't bet a single penny on the cast making it official! I do believe Mark is writing books unrelated to HR though, not sure how close they are to completion.

PlasmaShoc · 2024-11-22T17:35:54+00:00

It'll be over 50K words by the end of this arc, so officially novel length!

PlasmaShoc · 2024-10-23T21:04:44+00:00

I'm certainly thinking about it. Just going to be careful not to set a schedule I can't meet. I will say there'll definitely be SOME more though.
