Savage Worlds Version: Rock solid fun! The drawbacks are mostly in regards to finding the materials at this point. Otherwise, the system is robust and carries the full western genre flavor and a good pace of game play which lets players do all the things that they see on tv without severe rule...

Nice... I can see where the players might have fun with the game if they are strong roleplayers. If we rate GMs by 'nice' and 'mean' on an x axis and plot the player 'like' and 'dislike' on a y axis, it would define where the topic is going at this point. Steal the traits from the Rate...

It seems to be correct. Although, I am a mean GM for expecting party members to talk to each other in character according to one person as of tonight. *grumbles* So, the fine line between love and hate could be something as simple as perspective. If you have a guy that wants to sit alone in...

It's a large body of good information. :) I would place a disclaimer on all advice ( including our own ). Disclaimer: All new pod casters should abide by their own hardware limits whatever 'good' advice they get on the web. You never know, the USB mic might be low quality on his system. He...

Q. What does it take to be a Rat Bastard DM? Are you one? A. I'm not sure. My players accuse me of being one. Q. How many TPK's have you caused? A. Three... My fave was the very first game of my 'evil' campaign. The party died on a boat because my monsters scored 14 crits in three rounds with...

I would try one of these USB Mic if you can find one at a music store. It works for picking up on audio at family gatherings for myself without spikes in audio and bursts of static. The range is wide enough that you can get the full range of most words and voices into the raw file. Otherwise...

*bows to Masterplan devs* They are a smart bunch. The nearest match for a case involves an airline that sends a series of C&D letters. The software company refuses to comply. In this case, the product for sale is the primary gateway along with several refusals on the part of the software...

Agreed. It's why I do not see WOTC going very far with it in court. All legal obligations rest solely on the end user in regards to material covered under the creative expression clause in the copyright act. Yup, I agree that is the likely claim. However, I can't find a single case that...

Mmmm, bacon - Anyways, I hope Derren is wrong, no offense to Derren, about the Peter Principle. If he can transfer style guidelines into the overall design process, it might make all of his fans happy.

I am not seeing the collective works of WOTC when it comes to C&D letters. Is there a link people could look at? *curious to see where people are getting the ability to generalize WOTC's legal theory without actually seeing the collective C&D letters*

Good for the gander, good for the goose. You gents go over the lack of a good look at the C&D letter quite a bit in the early :):):) for tat bits, I believe it is my turn to point out that you do not know the contents of the letter. It could apply equally well to iPlay4e. Zee Doctor is dead on...

Masterplan posted that it would be up for download by the end of the month on Facebook, too. No post on the dev blog, yet.

If the child spoke Pathfinder and MnM 3e, I would crown the child king for at least a day. :) I like the one note aspect, too. *wonders if his existing campaign will import well at the end of the month*

*looks* ...and bringing the topic back to potential fun stuff. Where is there left for Masterplan to go without a Compendium Integration feature?

Pacesetter edition Chill Books from Pacesetter :: Pen & Paper RPG Database It's not an 'old school' thing for me. I enjoy the simple rules because most groups that I run it in are for one evening only. It is fun and easy....even if my books are falling apart.

Agreed, it is moot. The aftermath is worth considering on the other hand. WOTC can clean up its API and DDI terms. :) It would never get to the fine print if WOTC were to put up a clear usage policy. Masterplan devs are clearly fans of the game and do not want to hurt it. I would love to talk...

Top Pick: GURPS Second Pick: Classic Traveller Third Pick: Chill My new 'liked' system is Eclipse Phase. So, it would be after those one.

Cool, it just makes me wonder why WOTC is going after Masterplan even more since that further places the burden on the end users. Time will tell...

*is aware* I said that I hope they have a "Do what we want clause" in the DDI ToS if they ever go that route, too. The answer does not make sense unless people know that scraping is legal. :) The last bit occurs to me as I drink my steaming hot coffee on this fine day.

Data Scraping in itself is not illegal. Feist (spelling?) Publications has a recent case where it goes into it. The interesting point in that case is that it allows data scraping - the limits are in direct relation to the creative aspect under US copyright law. In that light, I think the users...
