Back when Webbed Sphere (whatever) requested PeryPub to stop using Tunnels and Trolls on our labels, I asked Robin (Peryton) to confirm that we had permission to use Monsters! Monsters! compatibility as a selling point. Here's the receipt:

Hi, Robin, it's perfectly okay for you to say your (Peryton Publishing) stuff is compatible with Monsters! Monsters!
Good luck!

Later Steve Crompton, at one time heir to the FBI materials, hearing this concession by Ken St Andre to Peryton Publishing would chat me up. Here is a part of the conversation:
Me: I have a few M!M! friendly items I will be publishing over this next
year and next. I'll get you and Ken printed copies as they are
available.

did I send you the official M!M! NETWORK logo?
This last week, Ken St Andre got in touch with me. Apparently he can't get printed copies of his latest Monsters! Monsters! rules set. He thought maybe Peryton Publishing could help him out. I am pretty sure that his business partners at whatever shop he's doing shit at these days could provide whatever he is needing, but you know.
I told him to ask Peryton directly. She might claim to be a part time employee but she does what she wants when it comes to our label. Maybe she'd just work for whatever get up that he had going on these days.
He then asked me to be a part of that organization. I declined.
Ken decided that I had hurt him and decided that we could not use his material. I then realized that his business partners probably have no idea what he's up to.
Ken: ... the mountain you’re trying to make out of a molehill.
Then don't ask me to subvert your business partners Ken.
What should be noted is at no time did I ever ask to play along. I have relationships already established in the "TT" RPG cottage industry from about three decades ago. In short, I am busy publishing my own stuff.
