Dominion General Discussion / Re: Other websites and fan made cards after the official release
« on: June 30, 2012, 09:04:20 pm »This is probably a question for Donald:They will all go down, even if they just have the base set. This is just something we have to offer to our pals at funsockets. They are doing this as a job, they have food on the table because of it, and if some people would be playing at boardgamearena instead then that would be bad for them.
So I know isotropic will be taken offline after the official online version is released, but what about other websites such as boardgamearena and BSW? Will they be allowed to continue?
My website (kingdom.servegame.org) gets very little traffic, so I doubt it would have much of an impact on the official version, but I was wondering if I limited the cards on my website to just the base set, plus fan-made cards would it then be okay to keep my website up after the release?
I will be sad to see my website go, since that is probably the only way a lot of people will try out the fan made cards, but I understand why funsockets would want to be the only site. Plus there are other ways to try them out (print and play), and I've discovered recently that I often prefer to play Dominion IRL.
As to all of these other comments, yes I probably could "legally" keep the website up, but that wouldn't be very nice, and I definitely want to be nice to people making board games, since I enjoy them so much.
