This is no longer a thread about political posts on the forum, it’s just a thread about politics. So it’s nighty night time.

In any industry that is the case. Of course nobody can possibly sign that. What if the “idea” is one they already had? Or would have tomorrow, completely independently? Or is one that somebody they hire has a year or a decade from now?

The reason you can’t copyright an idea is because of how common ideas are, and how uncommon the work to make them into reality is. Lots of people have the same ideas. A tiny fraction of them turn them into something. If you could copyright ideas alone, billions of historical ideas would be...

From Dark Horse Comics and Wizards of the Coast comes a trip into the dread domains of Ravenloft in a 4-part comic book series by Any Chu. The first issue will be available on August 19th for $4.99. Ravenloft is falling apart, and nobody knows why. Fortunately, monster hunter Ez D’Avenir is on...

I do! There’s a clue cunningly hidden in the article.;)

Darryl, who writes the news digests, has only just this week returned to work. In December he suffered a serious accident which paralyzed him from the waist down, and his columns have been on hiatus since then. Now that he’s back you should start getting those again.

I would love such things as laptop/phones case stickers! I got some logos done by Claudio Pozas recently. He might be a little pricey for what you want to use them for though.

Like buses, you wait ages for one, and then several turn up at once. Two manuscripts, both unpublished works by Gary Gygax, both featuring castles, are separately hitting crowdfunding sites. In one hand, there's the second part of Troll Lord Games' Castle Zagyg -- "This is the second of two...
