    Judge Rules That AI Training Doesn't Violate Copyright

    That's what they say, but they don't give any method (except for those who already were involved with the lawsuit) to actually collect any money (or even verify that their work was among those utilized. As I already know some of mine were in the collection on the site they took books from, it's...

    Star Wars: Starfighter

    They are all younger than me, BUT...comparatively to actors today... Why all the old people. Are old people the starfighter pilots now...what about the young generation of pilots like Luke and Biggs were when they started flying X-wings?

    Judge Rules That AI Training Doesn't Violate Copyright

    I am thinking some of the books I wrote (and that were pirated) would be on that list. With how these things work, I expect a few creatives who levelled the case to get paid, and everyone else who is like me will never see a dime.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Hard to say, but probably Humanity outbreeds everything else. Sort of like Rabbits. Doesn't matter how many you kill, they always come back. At least that's a big problem Elves have had in many of the humanocentric fantasy worlds. The biggest competitors sometimes seem to be either goblins...

    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    This is from AD&D. Use this as gospel. If they roll a character without these traits...reroll. 16 or above in at least one, just to make sure. Using that as a qualifier means that you usually can end up with a feasible character. It may be fun to ignore it and see how well you can do, but...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Also, sort of like today in our lives. A normal person is not going to go toe to toe with a Bear (or perhaps even an angry horse that cannot be calmed). Even a spear in hand will probably have that fight go somewhat badly for the human. Human's are successful (even with primitive weapons...

    OD&D For no reason that just because

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    If we take your opinion as truth, no...you did not. YOU have to actually be playing an RPG called D&D to be a DM. As per your statement, 4e is not an RPG...therefore...you didn't start DMing with 4e as there was nothing to DM. Afterall, it's just a miniatures game...(like warhammer, or...

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    On the Basic Set, I've already gotten it pre-ordered. As someone who did not get the new 5.5 rules, I'm pretty excited to try this new set out. Maybe it will win me over to 5e anniversary.

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    Are you purposefully trying to taunt people. I've been playing D&D since the 70s. I've played OD&D all the way to 5e. The only people who make the claim you do above are those who don't know what an RPG is...OR, they never really played 4e (maybe they played some poor imitation, or played...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Jameson is an idiot though. Moreso in the comics (especially at the start, he's actually more like the Greatest primary villain spiderman has. Spiderman/Peter Parker has other villains, but JJ is by far the biggest one and greatest of them all. For some reason many modern readers don't get...

    Which 80s wargames and adventure games do you still play?

    Too many to really list. Some more popular ones though... Dungeons and Dragons (BX/BECMI) Star Frontiers Axis and Allies (2e, which is the Game master version). Conquest of the Empire (Gamemaster) Shogun later Samurai Swords (Game master) Fortress America (See a trend here...Gamemaster). For...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    I had a magic-user that used a Sword (ala...Gandalf). I think he had one level of Fighter though (common popular thing at times, start as a Fighter and dual to a Magic-User if you had the Stats for it). Of course, he normally didn't USE the sword. That was an emergency back up...and...just...

    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    I loved using UA, but I found that it was easier for class combinations to use Dragon lance Adventures for class and race rather than using the UA classes as they were written (aka, instead of Cavaliers we have Knights of Solamnia, and in addition, level 18 is a hard cap for EVERYONE...though...

    Starfinder SF2e CRPG coming to Kickstarter?

    I like Starfinder, not sure what I think of this after the ad though. Going for a GotG vibe or something?
