General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see a Cease & Desist being sent to Revolution Gaming Community.
That is some serious violation of WotC's logos, artwork, and even trade dress!!!

Favorite Settings: Love all of the official settings, Mystara is my nostalgia fave! Trying to create a homebrew that blends the best elements of the various settings. Favorite Edition: Can't decide between 3rd Edition and 4th Edition, like them both!
The site has a reference to characters as "toons."
I'm a WOW player, and I'm a 4E player. And I like that WotC reached out to the WOW crowd with 4E. I want to draw these players in to tabletop because they can bring a fresh new eye to the game.
But I swear, if I ever have a player refer to his character as a "toon" at the table I will club them to death with their own severed limbs, and proceed to jam their miniatures into my bleeding ears until I can hear no more.

Continuing the 'jack.
I am the same way. My vengeance would be truly terrible. I don't even like the term used for WoW characters, much less characters for a tabletop game.
I didn't see it as direct reference to the D&D material on that site, but I likely missed it.

LOL it even has free pdfs of all the original core books if you look close enough.
I do have to wonder what the point of a scan of the DM screen is. And I especially have to wonder what the point of scanning the wrapper of the DM screen is.

Why a Kraken...don't you guys have a crack team of lawninjas?
Lawninjas are too neat, they leave no evidence of their work. LawKraken do and thus have a more useful deterent effect.

I initially parsed that as "lawn-injas", not "law-ninjas", which left me wondering, "What is an inja, and why does it have a lawn-based variety?"
Rouse, after you're done nuking that website from orbit (or a coffee shop, whichever), could you make sure the developers have got that inja class ready for playtest?

I desperately want some sort of online character database though. Something simple that I can link to friends to show a character through a web interface!
