...we believe in the principle of "fair use." We encourage our consumers and trade customers to employ our IP freely for personal use. In some cases (e.g., magazine scenarios), we even encourage creation of "derivative works" (i.e., material based upon Mayfair Games' intellectual property). Of course, you should always obtain authorization for all such derivative works.
Or in other words: Yes, you can make, and probably even sell, paintings of our games, but get our permission first. And, if you don't, expect a letter from our IP lawyers.
