I had a few hours to watch Affinity Publisher tutorials on Youtube tonight. I'm feeling more confident that I can learn how to do this.

Mini Six BKE released under CC BY 4.0

I promised that I'd release Mini Six Bare Knuckle Edition under CC-BY this year (by May 9th), and I'm fulfilling that commitment. Mini Six Bare Knuckle Edition 0.7 RC2 (The only thing changed in this version is the license has been updated from CC BY-SA to CC BY.) You don't need my permission to publish games using it as the basis of your work, as long as you abide by the (generous) strictures of the license. You can read about the license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ From my perspective, the thing that I care about most is that whatever the community does with it (if anything), is that creators adhere to the attribution clause: "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit , provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made . You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. " The underlined part is very important to me, personally. So don't release anything...

Mini Six: Bare Knuckle Edition Release

Today's the day! Mini Six Bare Knuckle Edition is ready-ish. You can get it here . This exists (for now) as a Google Docs text-only file. The future of BKE has no timetable. There is still playtesting going on (especially in the magic system) and refinements, additions, and changes, will come. That's why I've called this version of BKE "0.7 RC1." It's out there now. You can tinker with it, tear it apart, use it to power your own creations or laugh at it. Planned changes for later versions: Adding a "grimoire" of rote spells. Until the current magic rules are playtested further, it's too much of a moving target to try to nail this part down. Possibly adding (optional) more detailed vehicle rules. Where is the print version? I probably won't be releasing BKE itself in print at any point. What I may do is release a more complete game, including art, one or more mini-settings, GM advice, etc. that is powered by Bare Knuckle, but as its own sepa...

BKE and Licenses

I hate all of the license stuff. I believe that you can't copyright mechanics , so there's nothing in the concepts within BKE that you even need a license for. The CC-BY-SA license gives you the right to cut and paste the text, as I have written it, and use it in your own work. As has been pointed out by others, there's nothing equivalent to the old Product Identity section of the OGL to easily build walls between the stuff you want to retain exclusive rights to, and the stuff that is "community content" in that license. I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not giving legal advice. It seems like I've seen references to designating certain portions of a work under CC-BY-SA and other portions under other licenses (or retaining full rights), but you need a clear way to designate stuff, and it can get really messy... it's a headache that I don't want to bring onto anyone. That said, I have a plan to release my own game. This wasn't part of my original ...
