Reading his answer regarding the status of his upcoming Chaos Dwarf book makes me rather ...curious about where he's going to pull background material from:
Working on it right now, currently at 151 pages(!), sorting through all the material. Seeing as there is barely anything I need to write in it myself, that one should be pretty quick.
Yeah, I don’t think I like the sound of that at all.
EDIT: I’ve just outright asked him if he’s using stuff I’ve written now. The fact that he has my (former) full name in the credits implies he’s read my book, and if his book is based on things appropriated from fanlists, I figure he must have lifted some of my work. And that is not something that I’m happy about.
Well, after all the efforts you put in your book (which is a great work by the way I haven’t complimented yet with ya;)) you have all the rights to ask for permission AND to get upset!
Regarding my art it was just an old piece I did for fun and that casually ended in WoH (and your book!)… I’m cool if other people use it!
I suppose I should feel slighted then that I didn’t get a mention in the credits for Axe Headroom. I mean really, it’s right here in this post. Honestly, not cool.
… Oh, and also been copied:
Armour of the Wind Fortress
Wyrdstone Crown
Lucky�?Ts Paw (which I decided I didn’t even like as the fluff sucked and I’ve since removed it from my own book)
I’m lucky I didn’t put my other weapon name in that list from my Hobgoblin Army book, as it’s also one that’s featured in the current Artisan’s Contest.
Regarding my art it was just an old piece I did for fun and that casually ended in WoH (and your book!)...
Yeah, but the difference is that I asked before I used it! The same goes for all the art in my book. And since this guy obviously lurks here (I didn't post my Hobgoblin articles anywhere else) and did enough research to find out my full name, he should at least have the decency to send me a PM to ask whether he can use my work.
EDIT: He's confirmed a lot of his Chaos Dwarf book was written by me and claimed he was going to ask permission before he posted it. Like with the Hobgoblin book then, yeah? Right.
