Anthony Appleyard Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Is anyone still interested in cyvasse? It is a chess-like game mentioned in several places in GRRM's books. Various people in the real world have been trying to set up sets of rules for playable games compatible with what is about cyvasse in GRRM's books. I have accumulated various web links with some of them, but many of them seem to have dropped off the internet, such as going 404. I downloaded copies of them. I have tidied them into .htm file format. I have not yet uploaded my versions of them anywhere, as at date (1 February 2021). My versions derive from what was on "No Name Publishing's main site. No Name Publishing has a Youtube page at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Ai6M0o1WSxqxH_CsBuFxg . Is No Name Publishing still running this topic? Or what is happening? Is there any point in me venturing to decide that No Name Publishing's rules are "abandonware"? Should I upload them somewhere or list them here? Or what?

Anthony Appleyard Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looking at the dates in No Name Publishing's Youtube page's list of videos gives me the impression that No Nme Publishiung has lost interest here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think there is any point in starting a public discussion about cyvasse here? Have you any comments about the de-jure and de-facto copyright legality if I uploaded my version of No Name Publishing's sets of rules somewhere and linked to them here? Google searching for the word "cyvasse" finds "about 22,500 results", so there is some interest out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My understanding is that game rules as such are not copyrightable. As far as discussion goes, there have been discussions in the past about the rules to cyvasse. See here and here Those are old threads and need not be resurrected, but useful starting points for consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken one Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I think, as for what I got from the books, against all the modern tabletop / board strategy / tactical games Cyvasse would look tiny. Without the name the game is even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reny of Storms End Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I would be interested in reading the rules if you linked them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Appleyard Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 The rules that I got from No Name Publishing, are at:- http://www.aappleyard.com/temp/cyvasse_aa_rules.htm http://www.aappleyard.com/temp/cyvasse_aa_alternate_rules.htm I arranged them into .htm format including .htm tables. I welcome all comments and criticisms and pointing out errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
