I have 4 mods just for testing ideas (two testing mods, and two quick-test for simple tests/ideas), but other than that I have a build mod for my campaign that when I get it done will be copied to new designs to make mods with similar databases.

After getting the rest of my stuff moved down from Michigan, I'll start on another project or two, namely a mod based upon this awesome sci-fi book I read "Armor" by John Steakley. This brings up another Q, tho. For published works, such as this or Tolkien's "Hobbit"; can we use these sources without legal trouble? I mean, yeah I could do something in a "mock" world that has some detail changes so as to try to make it mine, but what I liked most from Armor was the story. So would I have copyright legal trouble if I were to make a sci-fi mod in the story of Armor?
