Quick question.

I've GM'ed a few SR games at 'Twincon' & 'Con of the North'. (Minnesota
gaming conventions) And I was wondering if these convention games are
copywrited in any way?

I ask this because I can see, as a worst-case scenario, some enterprising
soul who attends cons plays in my game. He takes notes (as I've seen players
do), and goes home to write *MY* game as a module. What does a GM have to
protect himself? Not a heck of a lot.

I know that, as a writer, I can slap a 'Copyrite' on my article, and nobody
else can copy it without my permision. But what can a GM do?
(If this was covered before, I appologise. The local SYSOP kinda deleted some
'exess files' that were deemed unnessary. We think it's a coverup for the VAX
crash...)

Just wonderin'
