Linked for you.

The facebook address doesn't work.

I'll be checking it out. My only question is really not about the game itself, but the characters. Shouldn't you be a bit more original? A lot of those names are awfully close to the names of established wrestlers. Sounds like you're toeing the line when it comes to intellectual property. One of them is just a wrestler's name with the first and last names reversed, and another has a slight change to the last name and a synonym of his nickname.

Thanks much, Shadowborn!

Now that I found the code for linking, let's try this again for the Timeout Diversions FB Page :)

About the names, my intention is to do them in a way as to make them immediately recognizable for who they "might" be. I believe these can also be considered parodies, just like it is common among the indie promotions to use rip-off characters and gimmicks. I think a good example would be that I deliberately named that one guy Ares (as in the God of War) rather than the astrological sign, so there is enough differentiation yet hint at a possible real-life wrestler :) IIRC, name alone is not sufficient to claim intellectual property infringement; you also need likeness, trademark... the whole package. Since you can't patent ideas but only specific executions of ideas, by changing the name, even slightly, they can be considered "original" creations.

Nevertheless, thank you for the opportunity to publicly clarify this concern that had been expressed to me in private before, and thank you much for your interest and support! Please feel free to ask any questions or give comments and suggestions!

As some of you may know, we're going through Print-on-Demand as well for WWW Main Event Edition. Unfortunately, as we're not familiar with the process, we're running into delays we didn't account for.

Because we plan to make both the print and electronic book available at the same time, this is also pushing back the release of the PDF here on Paizo.

So we must apologize again. This is our first foray into POD so we're still learning. We had hoped to make it available in time for Black Friday.

But it's nobody's fault but ours, so sorry for keeping you guys waiting, and thank you all for much for your continual interest and support. All we can say now is if you loved the original (or the Demo), you'll LOVE this edition, so please bear with us and hang in there a bit longer.

Thanks!
