Is it ok to share fan made tools here? Options

[piotrus]

For the past few months I've been working on some Shadowrun-related tools for my gaming groups (advanced handouts for items, allowing GM and players to easily manage all the items a character of an NPC has). Some have reached a stage I would be happy to share them with the wider community. But - is it ok for me to do so here?

By that, I am not only referring to the rules of this forum, but to the attitude of Shadowrun copyright holder (Catalyst? WizKids, Inc.?) to fan-made game aids in general. FYI, if the Shadowrun copyright holders have not clearly allowed fans to make gaming mods (or fan art, fan fiction, and so on), then the fans by making them are breaking the law... For more information, see my detailed explanation (to designers and fans) on BoardGameGeek. If somebody can point me to a place where Shadowrun copyright holders have allowed fans to make gaming aids, I'll be happy to share mine here. If they have not done so, but if anybody related to Shadowrun copyright holders is reading this, or knows how to notify them, please note that it is VERY EASY to make it legal for the fans not to break the law (just read my post at BGG - really, all it takes is a simple note somewhere on the official webpage or such - I even have a section "one-minute guide for designers" on how not to make your fans into criminals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Thanks,

PS. Before anybody rants along the lines "but Catalyst would never sue the fans" (which is probably true...), "making gaming aid is not a copyvio" or such, please read my BGG post which addresses most common rants, FAQs and so on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
