Basic Information About the Quick Action Resolution Deck
As stated on Technohol 13, QARDGame.com's parent site, I've been producing super-heroic gaming material for decades. I freely share the fruits of this labor with the world, and I never attempted to charge a dime for any of this work - even where I could probably get away with doing so. But as Technohol 13 ages, I grow wary of hosting my completely original content alongside material that hinges on others' copyrights.
Thus, I have created this web space explicitly for the Quick Action Resolution Deck, showcasing all of my original writing in relation to this game system. Mind you, all my character work that covers copyrighted characters (almost all having an origin at Marvel Comics) will continue to be featured at Technohol.com. If that's what you're looking for, head over there to check out more of my mighty works!
Otherwise, stick around to take a look at what I've got cooking here!
Technical Details
QARDGame.com is a very simple site that belongs to the Technohol 13 constellation of such. All of the material featured here was originally written for Technohol 13, though I spun my entirely original works off to this and a few other, related domains to keep them away from material that isn't clear of others' copyrights. Should Technohol 13 get knocked off the Internets somehow, this site should nonetheless remain!
This site itself does not have an SSL certificate, because it does not require one - no matter what Google would like you to believe. Just about everything served up by this web domain is entirely passive in nature. It's an information repository, and nothing more. The only active feature is the function I installed that allows those using it to change the color of QARDGame.com's livery more to their liking.
And even that can be disregarded if one does not wish QARDGame.com to use scripts or cookies, depending on their web browser. Speaking of the color changing apparatus, readers may view QARDGame.com in any of the five suit colors referred to by the QARD, which are black, blue, green, purple, and red! Without choosing one of these, QARDGame.com will cycle through them on its own over the course of a month.
QARDGame.com's Content Sharing Policy
A distillation of decades worth of role-playing content creation, the Quick Action Resolution Deck is an all-new variation on the original, Saga system. I am happy to allow others to use some, or even all, of the QARD's original rules text in their own, subsequent works, should they desire to. In making such an allowance, however, I am applying one important condition to any such efforts.
In other words, the QARD rule set itself is offered under the Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). You may copy and redistribute the text of the QARD rules in any medium or format you wish. Furthermore, you may remix, transform, or build upon this material for any purpose, even those that are commercial in nature. That's pretty generous, when you get down to it.
The sole catch is that I require others to properly credit me and my writing when using it in their own products. After decades of having my material shamelessly stolen by countless bad actors in the gaming community, this point is non-negotiable. Such attribution of my contributions should include my name and e mail, as well as a link to QARDGame.com itself. That's just about it!
Sure, the wish is that other creators also release the text of their own, subsequent QARD developments under a like license. The goal here is to enrich the community, after all, and the whole point of QARD is to create an open-ended gaming system that belongs to everyone. But in the end, I am not going to insist on this, because I ultimately cannot control how others will use my work.
Note that the above refers only to the text of the QARD. Any art I commission for use in my own QARD products is not covered under this generous license, and I retain full copyright over that. Yes, the rules are free for everyone to use, but art is what makes an individual QARD product (and potential, deluxe files featuring them) unique!
