Last Post, I promise My bad for not remembering the numbers clearly. Only people can claim copyrights 70 years after they die. Corporations get it for 95 years, period (i.e. not 95 years after they cease to exist). This was recently upped from 50/75 years respectively thanks to well...

Exactly. Like I said: context matters. If the paladin's god says it's bad, then it's bad.

If I were the DM, I would not penalize you for taking a holy symbol from a grave and using it to protect the living. The biggest problem I find with the way DMs judge paladins is that they often don't take into account that the righteousness/wickedness of an action is always dependent on the...

Umbran: Did you know that people thought it was ludicrous to be able to copyright musical performances and vinyl records up until sometime in the 1960s? As for your comment on modern ability to mass reproduce music, you've made a fatal logical flaw: technology today has allowed the average...

I heard it was cancelled. Is it coming out now? Anyone got any links to check out?

Anyone got any links to some dungeon adventures? I'm a bit pressed for time and would appreciate it if anyone can recommend some nice, monster-filled maps (back story and plot aren't really that important). I'm DMing again and we're starting a good old-fashioned dungeon delve. Most of my...

Yeah. How many people know the real meaning of the word "gay" is "happy"? I mean, it's misused all the time by people thinking it means "homosexual". Ouch! You just zapped yourself! :-) P.S.: My apologies if you really meant the word "gay" to mean "happy".

Like the time before the 20th century when theatre didn't exist because no one could profit from plays? Like the time before 1831 when no music was ever made because it was not copyrightable? Like the time before 1710 when no one wrote any books because they were not copyrightable by authors...

It's nice to see that there are organizations out there still willing to fight the good fight against corporations. Now if only we could get rid of the oxymoronic idea of "intellectual property". Then our society could truly advance beyond the stagnant cesspool of greed that it's become...

Re: Re: 2nd level mage armor Is a +12 AC bonus equivalent to other 9th level spells like Meteor Swarm, Time Stop, and Wish? Let's see... Looking at the 9th level Wish spell: "Create a valuable item, even a magic item, of up to 15,000 gp in value" (from the SRD) A 9th level Wish spell can...

Yes, now that you mention it, that Vulcan captain was a jerk. And the one Vulcan in the pilot (played by the same guy who played detective Sykes in the Alien Nation TV series) got pretty emotional, too. Ah, for the days of the cool, calculating, unemotional Mr. Spock...(and he was *half human*!)

That's part of the next-generation first-person shooter games.

I'm just not a big fan of T'Pol. No raised eyebrows, far too emotional, just an irritating character all around. There are only two, round reasons why she's in the show. And did you see that episode where she and Archer are tied up together in a shack and they fall over? I could just hear...

Re: Re: Re: Things I'm Sick of - Action Movie Cliche #39 No matter how dramatic the scene is, I can't help but laugh hysterically when a car explodes in a Hollywood movie. It's just too funny. There's this one movie (Bless The Child, I think it was) where a car smashes thru the guard rail on...

How dare you blaspheme that movie! (but, you're probably right, heh.) Anyway, if there are any fans of 'Where Eagles Dare' out there, I suggest getting your hands on a copy of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The first few levels of that game are totally inspired by that movie (there's even a...

As long as you don't use any trademarks or copy their descriptions verbatim, there's nothing they can do legally...although the sending of baseless Cease-and-Desist letters are all the rage with corps nowadays. I think there's some stupid copyright laws that apply to the way you display...

I'm a good ol' MP5! I've always wanted to be a sub-machinegun...

Are these the cards you're looking for? http://www.kaejae-worx.com/~don/cards.zip .

Wow! So many informative replies appeared so quickly! I'll definately relay this info with my DM. Thanks.

We had a situation in our last gaming session where an action from a villain (moving thru a threatened aread) provoked an AoO from one of the players. The player tried to grapple the villain and provoked an AoO on himself...we think. What are the exact rules on AoO that provoke other AoO...
