West End Games video update 

West End Games, in its original 1981-1994 incarnation, was PARANOIA's first publisher. After the company went bankrupt, many tumults followed. These seemingly culminated earlier this year, when various flamewars prompted current owner Eric Gibson to announce a tempestuous departure from the industry. However, Gibson has now posted a West End video update on YouTube that announces West End Games is not dead. In the video, Gibson describes his current publishing plans for Bill Coffin's long-awaited Septimus space-opera setting and the transformation of the venerable D6 roleplaying system into an "OpenD6" system.

Sincere good wishes to Eric Gibson and to all those who hope to see West End make a full recovery.

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
