Tweak says, "Swooping is bad"

Whats the RP etiquette on starting a game with a similar premise of a game you liked if that game has been long since dead? There was a game I was going to hold a character once upon a time but it closed the day after I decided to do so.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Personally, I'd just be sure to make a note somewhere in the mod journal - the FAQ or the rules, maybe - that the concept was inspired by (x) game and you're just borrowing the idea, just to cover the basis and be on the safe side, because at the very least you're giving credit where credit is due. Even if a game has been dead for a long time, mods did put a lot of work into it, and nobody likes to see their ideas being used and not given credit for them.

	I do understand they put tons of thought into it. I'll more then likely put credit to the game in the AD, in the mod journal profile and either in the premise or FAQ. Thank you for your response as it was very helpful :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
