Ugh. Just saw someone blatantly violating my copyright over on Ye Merrye Drive Thru, to the tune of an entire book.

I strongly suspect it's an innocent mistake, something devoid of malice or sneaky intent ... but ugh. I mostly just hate having to email the DTRPG people; they've never been easy to work with on anything, and previous copyright-violation issues have been minor nightmares.

@SJohnRoss If you give me all data I'd need to file a report, I'll be glad to help you and report that person.

So, looking on the bright side, switching from "reading good RPG books to salve my gloom" to "reading good RPG books to soothe my anxiety attack" does count as a refreshing change of pace, for a certain value of "refreshing." 😂

@SJohnRoss Reading TTRPG books has a similar relaxing effect for me. Of course I also cope with existential dread and depression by buying more TTRPG books, so at least that's a self-sustaining cycle, I guess?

    @SJohnRoss Great, now I want lasagna...

    ... And I've been cooking, which helps with the anxiety. Kind of a random pasta thing with sweet Italian sausage and fresh bell pepper and some nice creamy vodka sauce and a blend of cheeses ...

    And in the ongoing anxiety attack, I've at least gamed out all my possible plays on the matter.

    And that helps. Knowing that the outcomes are finite softens the uncertainty. 😓

    Still a wreck. But a softer wreck.

    @SJohnRoss If you need to talk online when stuff like this happens you know you can poke me. I hope they sort this mess out.

    @SJohnRoss Always a wonderful topic

    Okay. Seems to be 95% resolved with only minimal head-desking. 😓

    The violating title has been taken down and the publisher seems to mostly understand.

    DTRPG did well; I could hardly recognize them.

    @SJohnRoss 😢 I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. I hope they resolve it promptly.

    @SJohnRoss It really does! 😭 Got on my first anxiety treatment this year, I feel you.

    @SJohnRoss Does it help if other people report the work as well? If so, email or message me a link to the thing and I'll raise a red flag on it too

    @SJohnRoss Hopefully both (a) and (b) will be true, or at the very least, (a) or (b) will be :)
