Doom, id, and copyright issues
Santiago Zapata:
I think Kornel's disclaimer on the manual states clearly he doesnt want to challenge the property of ID software. Anyway, in the case he had to change the theme of the game, wouldnt you play it anymore? (say, no longer DoomRL but HellRL, with BloodDemons instead of Cacodemons, etc)

Indeed, the mass murders would continue...all the way up to the CyberSpaceDemon!

I'd approve of that change, actually! You can copyright specifics, but you can't copyright a general theme... and he wouldn't have to play nice with canon. ^_^

And HellRL has a great ring to it :)
Maybe this could be a branch game, enabling many new additions both through legal rights and a lack of context restriction (i.e. "undoomish"'ll be much less of an argument).

Hm.... HellRL would be pretty cool; personally, something like HellGateRL would be balls to the wall, lol.
