SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

And then use paypal to send Jason $10. You know that the author of that book posts here, right?

Of course I know he posts here. He's posted on this very thread. I was... bringing it to his attention should he want to take legal action. That being said, I have never flipped out over ANY game book EVER, as much as I did when i discovered this. I will gladly send him him $10!

Fine, as long as that was your intent. I misread "For those interested, type "Rebma pdf" into your search engine of choice. All I'm saying is... delightful results." to read something less altruistic. I'm not sure I would classify advertising illegal downloads of a product as "delightful" but maybe that's just me.

Could also have been referring to the Revised Amber rules that were also called REBMA.  That was an enjoyable read.  Plausible deniability and all that jazz.  :-)

Yes, I "illegally downloaded" this book. But let's be perfectly clear here. We're talking about a 25ish year old book that was never even released. If I could have legally purchased it, I would have readily done so, but that is not the case. The Rebma sourcebook got me excited about Amber again, after feeling like I had nothing new left to GM. Its a fantastic book and Jason did an amazing job.

Jason, if you feel you deserve any kind of compensation, please feel free to contact me. I mean it. I will gladly Paypal you money for this work and your hard work. Its a shame I couldn't have purchased the finished product decades ago.

Given that it's unpublished, there's a lot we'd need to know about how it got up there, the contract for its writing, and the original licensing contract for Amber from the Zelazny estate before you could really say, with certainty, that it's illegally up there. It MIGHT be up there legally, it might not. It's hard to tell without a lot more information.

Same here. Except sending from another country sure does suck. Between paypall's fees for sending internationally, and their bogus currency conversion charges, I had to send $17 Canadian to make $10 US. I wanted to send $20 USD...oh well.

Jason Durall, if you ever make it a few hours north of Toronto, I'll take you out for lunch.

Haven't been on this site for ages (and haven't been playing much role playing games for the last 20 years or so)... But I re-registered again, just to post this.

I stumbled over some file called Rebma, from an unknown origin, without any artwork. Well, I did find the cover, so that's covered (ouch, poor pun).

It's a pity the (Amber) system more or less disappeared (though you can still buy it as a PDF, I believe).

Anyway, reading it now and enjoying it. Jason, if it's the one you wrote (no way I can confirm that) then all I can say thus far it's pretty much in line with the previous books. Someone, somewhere, probably put an old copy online and / or stripped the artwork.

Oh well. 25 years later and such.

Any other projects you are currently involved with?
