I’ve seen that some people have been using online printing services to print up copies of my rules… and have posted pictures of these books on Facebook or in their blog posts.
While it makes me happy to see the product of my many hours of hard work in print, I just wanted to warn others against doing so.
Recently, I had my Lulu account shut down because I was printing out copies of my books for personal use or to give out to the guys that I game with. When one order failed to show up, I contacted customer support and got this reply:

Well fart, looks like I waited to long to print myself copies of these excellent books.
I really like your particular rules mash-ups.
No cease & desist order yet?
Not yet… if I get one I’ll have to take it down.
Is there a chance to ask them to.. you know allow you to appeal? Seems mighty unfair if you ask me
Not likely… and that’s fine. I’ve spent a lot of money printing up books that I’ll never use. I just have to get used to using PDFs while gaming.
I guess this is your sign. You could remove all of the stuff they don’t like and have a BX3e (isn’t more of a BX5e?) that sticks There free art out there.
True. It’s given me a good reason to re-skin all of my books to make them OGL compliant. I’d also have to make absolutely sure that I re-word all of the flavor text to avoid plagiarizing.
As for my BX rules being 3e or 5e: They are based on my AD&D3e rules (with spells, monsters, classes, magic items, etc. being based on their old-school equivalents rather than 5E versions), so they’re 3e to me. Besides, 5E actually has Basic Rules available whereas 3e never did.

i added bookmarks to the AD&D 3 phb awhile back.
actually, way back on the 3rd printing, but i transferred them to the 4th assuming things were all in the same place with such small edits.
thought you might like having them.
Thank you! I’ll look this over later on.
Ouch. I had previously asked if the covers were good for Lulu printing. Guess I won’t be going that route, I missed this post.
Has anyone found an alternative printing service to Lulu that allows printing single copies for personal use?
