Quote from: Jacob on May 23, 2025, 11:34:47 AMHey if you guys can round up about $3 million or so I'll make a sweet little Flashman indie game. If you can get me $15-20 million I can deliver a nicely polished AA game.
Or at least a Ciaphas Cane video game.
PDH!

 :hmm: I would be willing to invest in this.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Is Flashman old enough to be unencumbered by copyright?

Hmmm...  :hmm:

To answer my own question... it looks like George Macdonald Fraser passed away in 2008, so as I understand it Flashman won't be fair game until 2078.

Yep, 70 years after death, that's been the UK author copyright duration for some time.

Though you might be interested in Tolkien as that enters the public domain in the not too distant future.  :bowler:

There is going to be a lot of flies buzzing around Tolkien the moment the time comes.
