Was my example not good enough? Or is there still confusion about the exact nature of poaching? If a publisher reprinted large sections of OGC without significant additions or contributions (barring some sort of compilation of OGC), then the material is poached. "Support" implies that the OGC...

I hadn't until now... wow. Thanks! That gives me quite a bit of inspiration.

Just to give a significant example... If I were to take the entire game text of Modern20, unmodified, put it into a new PDF document under the name BetterModern, and sell it... then I would be poaching. Arguably, even if I modified it in an insignificant fashion (such as, changing the names of...

Lazy player punishment FTW! I would totally do this. Want to cop out of thinking of a backstory? Fine, myself and the other players are going to craft one for you. Sure, it might set an adversarial tone to that player's interactions with the GM and other players, but to be honest, most...

I understand there's been one very blatant example of poaching by one particular publisher. Look at how that situation was dealt with. I think the industry self-polices itself enough that any "poacher" will quickly find their RPG revenue hindered by their peers and partners. That is, at...

I agree. If you watch Resident Evil: Apocalypse, you clearly get to see both the CN Tower (one of our national landmarks) and Toronto City Hall (an incredibly distinct building, if not a landmark in it's own right). And yet the movie can get away with placing itself somewhere in the United...

To the best of my recollection, the OGL 1.0a does not prohibit listing the precise source of a particular piece of material in the body of the text - the license only governs the citation of that source in the Section 15. trancejeremy's point about possible conflict with the "claims...

Dude, they make the maple syrup here. Out of thin air. Using wands made from maple trees. It is awesome. Peameal Bacon is also awesome. So much meatier than your regular bacon.

Glad I could the rest back out for you, Alzrius! I managed to incorporate a lot of tweaks and edits based on feedback I received. The maneuvers got even better! If you guys who've bought the PDF want to spend five minutes to leave a review, I'd love you forever.

I've almost got my player's characters ready for a Dark*Matter-inspired game. I love supernatural in the form of low-magic, conspiracy theory, suspense mystery horror. Hopefully Jarvis and I can give you all some options on this end when we get around to Magic20. I'm wondering... think...

Eight. Each one is about a page long, with one (Grinding) requiring two pages. Plus one page of introduction, one page for the cover, one page for the back cover, and one page of printable US Currency. ;) Seriously, these maneuvers aren't feats. They're robust actions with variable effects...

Sure, I do. I weep that such a tragic comedy was not captured on film and then spread to the world via YouTube. Seriously, if a tree kills a mime in the forest, and no one is there to film it, the YouTube generation will cry.

And it won't really matter when you wall-leap attack the crap out of them.

And I just might threaten Chuck and David with bodily harm ask Chuck and David nicely to allow me to write mecha rules for Vehicles20. Because you don't leave bruises when you use a sack of oranges I loves me some mecha.

I have something in the works that might make you happy. Don't tell anyone, though. It's a secret.

Perhaps we could take lessons from The Iraq? They could give maps to those kids that don't have them. For the children...

What can I say? There's a difference between opinion (such as "I don't like what you're doing here") and an objective statement of fact (such as "I don't like how Canada is disrespected in other games"). Since I have honestly never seen Canada portrayed as the bad guy, or a large evil, or even...

Raptor, I have started a new thread to discuss the issue of Canada in gaming, so we can avoid crapping in Urizen's thread. The rest of you, carry on.

In this thread. Raptor claims (and I quote): Now my gaming knowledge is a little sparse, but among all the games I've seen, I have rarely witnessed Canada portrayed either inaccurately or negatively. Can anyone enlighten to what games have shown Canada in a less than positive light?
