I took advantage of the leaked core books, and was pleasantly surprised-thought I wouldnt like it. I changed over to 4e, and brought my group with me. While I admit that the prerelease-download of an not-owned book is infringement on copyright, I do not care. Every pirated PDF I DL'd led to a...

StreamOfTheSky taunted with accusations of sanity I am just hawking up loogies of truth, not trying a case. The case cannot be lost or won here - and I would be pretty worried if my post convinced anyone of anything. Best case is we understand one another better. I know I run a rich...

Gnomes of Zurich to grant Sasqhach sanctuary; deny extradition to Vampire Illuminati To spread the TRUTH, you have to hide in the cloak of a wingnut - otherwise THEY get wise to you. We see what we expect to see. While mostly figurative (or symbolic), I see aliens and monsters all...

I see aliens where they saw gods Prejudice has no friend like education. Our vast middle class has been programmed by the Agents of Darkness to sneer at any suggestions not approved by our Evil Overlords. I do envy the certainty about the world many posters on this thread share, but I cannot...

Faster this time I think The new PDF policy was spung too close to release for people to team up on the project - joe bob and ted go in on a copy, and ron scans and bookmarks it and sends it around; once the core group has copies, it goes to the DL sits. I think people were spoiled by WOTC...

My Answer: Property is Theft I support the concept of Digital Piracy in the particular because I believe Property is Theft in general. As I cannot accept the idea of personal property beyond what one maintains through physical possession, I cannot accept the idea of limiting the...

Up and Down Many of the DL sites that were listing the DDI CB April patch have already scrubbed it, I just looked at Google (giggle) and the top 4 entries lead to "removed by request" pages. Found a working DL of it, but had to be shrewd to find it. While I heartily support the idea of...

I disagree, sort of- I think WOTC see 3e as direct competition. Their giving a candid answer here - "We pulled the old PDF's to dispose of a competing game system" - would only anger people. They dont care about supporting the game, but they do care about making it a less attractive option. It...

The pirated CB has been available for just a bit less time than the legal one. the update patches have been about two weeks behind the subscription service. I think that WOTC better watch out here - if they drag their feet on adding easily incorporated house rules and 3pp to the CB, some clever...

I think the Deva and Goliath are great additions; and the shifter pretty cool too. I think these eclectic additions to the common races make 4e pregnant with roleplaying and story potential. While I would like the game to be more overtly roleplay focused, I think the broad selection of character...

Could WOTC break whole industry? As the premier RPG company, I suppose that it is conceivable for WOTC to break the industry. Like, if it were somehow in their parent companies best interest to tank PNP RPGs. That said, Its really unlikely. Temporarily interrupting the availability of complete...

No amount of discussion can change a persons mind. Its the wrong tool for the job. We participate because articulating our opinion helps bring our beliefs into clearer focus, and to understand better the dissenting view. I dont think anyone participates because they are looking to rewrite their...

I agree w/ Op: Google has been tainted Seemed to me that my fave search engine got wonky after day 4 of AP's release; and no, they weretnt pulling the torrent sites off the list, they were burying them 10 pages down. I switched to a few not-google engines, and bango! suddenly, with the same...

I am pretty sure someone already tended to this, but: while the words "Arcane Power" or "4E Arcane Power" certainly were to be found on certain squirrely torrent sites, these were not actual listings: they were constructed by the text of your search. I think there has been a lot of confusion...

The full PDF became available today on public DL networks. Chapters 1-4 took (About) 4 days to show up, with chapter 5 showing up on day 5-6. While I have heard of fakes being available, they were taken down b4 I spotted 'em. I heard that the whole book was available on private networks on this...

Kneejerk reaction? More like a community stepping up! The "Pirate" community had little notice that WOTC was pulling PDF's, and so were not prepared for the new playing field. I beleive that their next (Major) release will be out as a piratre PDF sooner - perhaps even before release - than it is...

Well, I guess that is a matter of opinion. If its about a race to get the preorders to customers before the Pirates get a PDF, then O.K. Contrasted to the number of people that learned as I did how easy it is to make our own PDF (for personal use), and spiral bind the book afterwards, I think...

The state of the art tech has changed - the cruddy scans of earlier years are pretty much gone. A kid with no scanning experience can scan pretty well by following directions. I think that of course WOTC will try to spin it like they somehow accomplished something positive, but it is clear that...

Out of Print Downloads I bought hundreds of 1st, 2nd, and third edition books. I even scanned and OCRd a couple myself for personal use. When I saw so many books from my paper library in digital form, I of course DL'd them. I purchased copies of them and therefore I have every right to possess...
