Is it legal to plug small areas of OMs into the fan missions?

Yes that is fine, I'm doing it myself.

I guess I am a maybe at this point. I am a slow builder and don’t think Ibwill make the deadline. That being said, I have made some good progress lately and I am gaining momentum. At the same time, I know the closer you get to finishing a mission, the slower the progress (or at least that is my experience).
The good news is I will finish a TG mission, but it may not happen until the befinning of 2019. If I miss the deadline, I will probably stop building until I play all the missions - will be a kid in a candy shop! If we get 10 missions on time, that will be terrific.

Would it be admissible to use a stock NPC texture but alter / modify the symbol on the chest?
For example, if I open the hammerite in photoshop and add a symbol to the breast, is that a stock derivative?

If the symbol is made from a stock texture, it's fine. If you draw something new or put an existing symbol outside of the original game, then it isn't allowed from what I understand.

Yeah, that's the bit I'm hazy on.
If I open an original texture and sample pixels from it but arrange it as a new symbol, is it still allowed? Where is this line? :P
The idea I was considering was basically what I asked - taking the original Hammerite skin and putting a different symbol on it to create a different denomination within the order.

I think the new bit needs to be recognizable as derived from another stock texture, not just grabbing random pixels and arranging them into something, which essentially makes it custom. If you can find a symbol somewhere (check out some of the barely/unused banner textures) in stock textures you could use it for the new faction's uniform.

I just wanted to say that if any FM author needs a briefing for his mission, just send me a private message and I will send you samples of my work. I have my experience with video making/editing, so I'll be happy to help.

Are any of the T20 mission authors ready (or nearly ready) with their mission books?
The translators over at shadowbox are kicking their heels and are keen to help out anybody who would like their mission translated.
You can contact either myself or Athalle via a PM and we'll happily help out.
