Sean O'Connor's Games

Howdy John, and welcome!

I love Slay. The PalmOS version especially gets a lot of use when I travel

There should be a gold statue of Reiner in every city

I am using his work in a lot of current games, and now that he has been releasing 3D models, it is even better.

Capture the Flag looks great!!

Haven't been to the forum in ages, and just thought I would say Howdy to everybody

I also see that Sean has released some updates for a lot of the games, I can't wait to check those out.

It doesn't go to your "sent box" until he has read it. Once he has read it, it will move there and disappear from your "outbox"

Since you and Sean live in the same country, maybe you could just send him a check, money order or even cash via snail mail? If nothing else, try emailing Sean and maybe he can work something out for you.

Changing the graphics of my game doesn't alter the FACT that you copied it in the first place. There are no laws stopping somebody from copying a ruleset for a game. Under International Copyright law, you cannot copyright the ruleset to a game, you cannot copyright an idea and you cannot copyright ...

Copyright is automatic for an original board-game! On planet Earth and under International Copyright law, you cannot copyright an idea, title or ruleset to a game. You can only copyright artwork, box design and documentation. There are thousands of Risk and Stratego clones out there for the compute...

Sean has a beautiful family

I agree it is nice to put a face to the names here. I will try and scrounge up a more recent pic

I have held back until Sean publicly posted, so no more Mr. nice guy... I'm pleased to read that. I am pleased to read it too. That means that a lawyer in the UK who specializes in Copyright law agrees with ME. You ARE wrong. So now you ADMIT you were infringing my copyright? Which brings us back to...
