[HoE] Year of the Copyright Infringement (Shane)

[Rich <toadpooka@usa.net>]

I saw an ad for White Wolf's new "Year of the" campaign.
This year's gimmick is leading up to the Big Fubar that's described in every game, and hints at a
big change in all the lines, probably an official line saying that it's okay to play the games as if
they were Rifts.  Of course, the book will cost $100, as well.

What bothers me is that I learned of this by sitting down at a table and seeing a flyer.  The first
word I made out was "Reckoning," in the Crackhouse font, no less.  Their gimmick is known as "The
year of the Reckoning," and all the ad stuff uses Crackhouse.

Granted, it's not like they went and started publishing Vampire: Hell on Earth, but I gotta state
how bad this whole thing looked.  It appeared as a deliberate attempt to somewhat capitalize on
PEG's stuff, whether or not they meant to.
