Oh well - that's scuppered that then. ;-)
Yeah - I reckoned on the Niven side. Charlie has already indicated that he is not bothered so long as no profit is made from the pdf. I do think the agents of Niven will stick their oar in though.

City in the Jungle as a pdf - even a freebie. It's still an Intellectual
Property, even though Chaosium don't hold the RW licence any longer, and
it'll need their sign-off. And, given the RW rights for TV/film, Niven's
agent may need to be consulted.
Also, the scenario rights (as opposed to the background info rights)
legally belong to me (I think), so you'll need to find a shit-load of money
to secure my permission ;-)

MeddelandeThanks Ingemar. I can't promise much in the short term, but in
the long term I am still wanting to get City of the Jungle out as a pdf.
It probably won't have much in the way of art (except maps and diagrams).
It will be very low budget. The pdf will be given away for free - can't
make a profit out of it and i will need to recheck with Chaosium and Niven
if it is possible.
