2nd edition of Final Exam is on Lulu, set to private. I've ordered by "proof" copy, and when I get it, I'll check it through to make sure I didn't miss anything (or mess up anything, as is more likely!). If it's good, I'll open it up to the world!
This should happen by the end of next week...

If anyone doesn't know where to find my solo, Escape from Khosht, let me know and I will let you know where to find it for free. Me, I don't. Dekh, You can find it at either of two yahoo groups dedicated to T&T. One is RadioFreeTrollworld, as gaptooth noted. The other is the group Blue Frog Tavern. If you're a member of either group, you can find it in the Files section. I wrote it 2002; it's for 5th edition.

Is it possible to put up for download from here as an attachment for those who don't have Yahoo memberships? [Or maybe Dekh could offer it directly from the tunnelsandtrolls.com site?]

Sligo I think you mention it before but any chance you'd put Final Exam out as a PDF, you might get a wider circulation and still make some "small" profits at Drivethrurpg.com Everyone one knows my bias towards PDF, I'm thinking longer term storage and making sure all these great products are available for my grandkids -Mike

You're not the only one asking for a PDF version. I haven't yet decided, but I probably will eventually.

The more people who can see it, play it for free is the objective, as to keep you know who from selling it.

97 meaty passages I took the project seriously, and wanted to write an entertaining, professional-quality solo. Also, I was taking a creative writing class at the time and I wanted to engage the reader with each entry, making each option viable. I've received positive feedback, and am pleased people have enjoyed it.

I received this email today:
After a quick consult with a friend, I am certain that under fair-use, I have no problems and I am not in violation of anything. However, in order to avoid issues with Lulu, I have taken Final Exam offline for the time being.
Over the next few weeks, I will create the 3rd edition where I revise the spell names used in the Codex, and in doing so, create the spell list specifically for Final Exam and include it in the book. Fortunately, I only need to do this for those spells in the Codex as I have explicit permission from Ken to use the basic T&T spells.
In the interim, I have 7 copies of 2nd Ed Final Exam, which I have been saving for events like GenCon. If you wish to purchase a copy for $10.00 US (plus shipping), you may do so. I will even sign it for you. One caveat - I will not sell any more than one copy to an individual, and I will not sell any copies to the person causing this issue (or anyone who is in league with him!)
I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you all for your support.
Oh, since I'm revising, if anyone who has a copy of Final Exam and would like to offer suggestions for improvement, now would be a good time to do so.

Out of curiosity, did you just reference the spells or print them in full? If the former, I cannot see that there could be any problem; in the latter case, it's a bit murkier and not being a copyright lawyer of any sort, I won't venture an opinion.
Also, "In doing so you void your own copy right"? "that guy" has no clue.
I sent you a Trollmail to ask to buy a copy. Hope that I get one!

Sligo, sorry to hear of the difficulty. Perhaps you can reply in kind and ask this complainant to remove all copies of your materials from sale on his site as you are concerned that they may violate copyright. I find it amusing that though he complained about the use of the spells he didn't say anything about suspending the sale. As a suggestion, what about asking Mahrundl if he minds if you replace the spells with something from his Big Book o' Spells?
