Hey Riot, would it be alright if I wrote a poem based around Kindred's philosophical ideas on life and death? I really enjoy the way the champion was designed and I would like to ask for permission to use those ideas and form a deep and powerful poem on that theme. Thanks!
'Embracing life is accepting death'
TyrekGoldenspear3 votesSure you can! Just plop it in the Concepts and Creations board!
Plenty of literary works are in there currently, we could use a few more.
Archton1 votesThe thing is, it won't really have the actual champion in it- its just based off the themes and ideas of Kindred.
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesAh. I'm sure it's fine though. After all champion concepts that have nothing to do with existing cjamps are allowed in that board.
Archton1 votesEven if I dont mention Kindred at all?
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesStill yes!

all player-created league content goes in concepts & creations. story, art, & sound is for discussing official league content that is created by riot.
example, riot makes a lore update about X champ, it's official lore so discussions about it would go here if a user/player/fan/etc wrote a song about the lore change of said X champ, it would go in concepts & creations because the song is player created content.
Archton1 votesI'm not changing the lore or making something for the lore, I'm just using Kindred's concept to write something separate from League, I just wanted to make sure I was allowed to do that without making reference to League itself.
no to toxic1 votesIsn`t Kindreds entire philosophie "Invade and kite them LUL"
Archton1 votesHaha I see where you're coming from but no ;p
Tattersall1 votesIf you're not outright mentioning Kindred, then you probably don't even have to ask. Riot doesn't have a monopoly on life-death philosophy or anything.
Archton1 votesThats exactly what I was trying to get at understanding... thanks for the clarification. However, is it considered plagiarism if I mentioned something like 'how one dies shows how one lives' (one of Kindred's quotes)... or 'embracing life is accepting death'. .... etc. I mean its a generic idea, I dont think they have a clear copyright on that right?
Tattersall1 votesMaybe you could put a disclaimer saying, like, "(based on || inspired by) the work of Rito Gaems" or something. I'm not sure man, I'm just a Tattersall.
Archton1 votesThanks for your help, anyways!
Tattersall1 votes^u^
The Last Ballad1 votesAs long as you don't try to sell it as league stuff, then its fine. Basically, Riot owns everything connected to league, and as long as you don't try to sell it for your own profit, you may do what you want with it.
