General - Custom Dice - What's Not Acceptable? CirrustheBlue - Aug 30, 2008 - 01:28 AM Post subject: Custom Dice - What's Not Acceptable?
So, I'm thinking of designing myself up some special custom Block Dice for a league I'm planning and I need to know what's not acceptable to put on the dice so that I don't get nailed by GW down the road. I know for a fact that they don't own the rights to the Chaos Star, so I was thinking about making a special set with some of that awesomeness going on. Then again, you can never be too sure of what or what isn't acceptable to put on something anymore when dealing in GW IP terms these days... Is there a place I can go to find out what is and isn't 'legally acceptable' to put on a set of custom dice? Their legal form is a little bit ambiguous when it comes to these sorts of things...

IIRC, you'll need to change each image by 10% before it's legal for you to use it.CirrustheBlue - Aug 30, 2008 - 06:00 PM Post subject:

I believe... not 100% but you can make and recreate any GW stuff they are protecting their intellectual property... so therefor I could make the dice but could not sell them. I think I read the terms of Trademarks and such correctly.... but I would look a bit further into it. By their standards then I could say anything I have ever taken a picture of is my intellectual property which is pretty much what is stated on their site.... which is bullshit imo
