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!!!

Not likely, selfip,com is a dynamic DNS host these are sites hosted on peoples home machines thru dyndns.org or the like.

No, I'm sure WotC would not license their trade dress to some yahoos ion their basement

That looks like that was an awful lot of work.

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.

Holy crap. You don't even have to look too closely to find it.

There is also a character builder on the site. Are fan-made character builders actually legal? I don't know, so I ask out of ignorance.

Lawsuit #9, how could they miss this site?

Maybe they should delete this thread so we don't get reputations as snitches

This site makes the DDI obsolete....but I do like the look of the site, WoTC should hire this guy.

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.

Is that a BECMI, 1E, 2E, 3E, 3.5E or 4E Kraken?

Wait, is there a 4E Kraken yet?

Lawninjas are too neat, they leave no evidence of their work. LawKraken do and thus have a more useful deterent effect.
The right tool for the right job

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!
