That I couldn't tell you, the case in question was about an issue of Spawn/ownership of Medieval Spawn and Angela. It was also a great lesson in not relying on an oral contract. And to a lesser extent not spending $4 million US on a baseball. The actual dispute, in this case, was over copyright...

Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I did learn a little about this because I followed the Gaiman vs MacFarlane case. There is indeed a 3 year statute of limitations on this in the US, and it is from the time you become aware of the infringement. It came up because MacFarlane tried to use this to his...

Yeah, this seems like a good idea. I can't think of one single reason anyone would want to publish a re-invigorated line of novels with some brand recognition and an existing fanbase about vampires. I mean, who wants to read about vampires...

It does seem like Frank Miller should be put on something, doesn't it?

I believe these features were ALL supposed to be accessible at product launch. So many things have failed to materialize already, though. The PDFs at a token price for people who bought the book, for example, didn't happen. I would not be surprised if at least one feature mysteriously disappears...

I think i figured it out. And I can use a food metaphor. I ordered peas, and you brought me carrots. I like carrots, but not when I ordered peas. I can understand that. It's kind of the reason I didn't like G Gundam or Gundam Wing. Still had giant robots, but didn't have the same deep...

4e has spawned a sub-game for some people, called "find something that could maybe be clearer, call customer service since they no longer seem to answer questions like this, take stock answer to forums and say customer service is stumped and therefor this is totally unusable and 4e is terrible."...

This, I think, is the problem people are having with 4e. The whole "It's not complete" is more "it's different." 4e does feel a lot more like a new system with the D&D name than a continuation of D&D. But that happens, and I think the system should be judged on its merit. Rules evolve and games...

What i missed was the miss line... at least I wasn't the only one. Regardless, I think that if a power that misses can be sustained *is* an interesting question, far more interesting than yet another attempt to take something worded slightly oddly worded and call customer service, then complain...

Personally, i think the target should get a chance to save on his first turn after the power is used, not after it's sustained. That seems to be the intent. I could be wrong, but i don't see a specific exception here that would make it work any different than any other sustain abilities. And of...

I'm going to have to chime in with the "I don't see the problem" crowd. Main effect happens, then every turn you can spend a minor action to use the sustain action until the target saves. I think a lot of these problems are nitpicky, when the design intent is abundantly clear. Remember that...

You know, the new Neon Genesis Evangelion manga doesn't have giant robots. The previous manga didn't have giant robots or angels. The TV show they're based on was about giant robots fighting angels. I believe the word is re-invention. 2e and 3e were essentially continuations of the same game...

I have a couple of things to throw in here. If the 4th edition books included all the same core classes and races as 3e, would people be disappointed in that? I would. I think the exclusion of some old classes and races for the inclusion of new ones is a good idea. I don't think it makes it...

Don't you know that if the rules of the game world are not also the physics of the game world, the game is deeply deeply flawed. Why should we apply logic to it? And I disagree with the assertion that minions aren't minions when the PCs aren't around. I think that pretty much everyone has 1 hp...

There were replays of Record of Lodoss War in Comptiq in 1986. I know that they were tape-recorded to be transcribed, but the original recording probably weren't kept after that. The system they used was D&D, for the record. Of course, even if you could manage to find the tapes, they'd be in...

I said 4. I just wanted to mention that while WotC may be mishandling D&D (and I feel that they are), I think they're doing a really good job with Magic and Star Wars minis, and overall, they're not so bad. They just haven't figured out how to make the RPG department profitable enough to suit...

I seem to remember that, maybe about '95? Thought the whole thing was silly. I dunno, the whole topic seems to be... if I can tell people I'm a bisexual Buddhist, playing 40K seems... trivial. Especially if you're a grown-up. Catholics in ancient Rome would be fed to the lions if they were...

At level 30 you have 17 powers, right? And you replace 8 over the course of your career, so that's 25. If you figure that leaves 7 cards for magic item powers, and consider the split between horizontal and vertical character sheets, this product is meant for two people. More likely aimed at...

No real degenerate combo decks I can think of involving an always-on artifact (except static orb/opposition), but a few more geared to casual players trying to make a certain combo go off relying on one always-on artifact like ensnaring bridge.

Yeah, i paint almost all my own minis, I play Anima, Warmachine, and 40K. I even tend to repaint/touch up heroclix. I'm glad to hear they're not bendy, that's what I was afraid of, I was hoping for hard plastic, not like the rubbery Star Wars/D&D minis. Much easier to paint something that...
