Very good idea to make a thread about this.

I was actually thinking about making a standalone small, limited campaign based on a book IP, not some other game.
Which is the same thing when IP and copyright laws and practices are concerned.

I have no idea what the owner would think about it, probably nothing nice, considering what i know about some of their opinions and the fact that i would have to "borrow" whole parts of the book, some specific events, dialogues and characters to make the mod have meaning. Which would then seem like a fan fiction project of sorts, if i add my own content, or as a complete ripoff if i just copy the writer text and events.

I guess i could maybe find some way to make contact and ask anyway.

And then go rogue when the writer threatens me.
