Yeah, that's a good point... :)

I just want to point out that I did say "publish" the hunting accident book. I guess I assumed he would sell them instead of handing them out... :p And I am still waiting for my royalties check, by the way... :mad:

Right. Although, if you think about it, making something "public" is just another way of telling everyone else they have to believe your idea of the character. So when Lucas produced The Empire Strikes Back, he basically said "sure, you may personally imagine that Luke Skywalker may be a...

And you can refer back even earlier (my original post) where said the same thing... you can do whatever you want with a character, you just can't claim it's the same character. He's just *your* Luke Skywalker at that point, to say that he's anybody else's Luke Skywalker (without he or she...

Ah ha! We seem not to disagree so much after all. ;) Allow me to sum it up... "you believe what you want and I'll believe what I want." :D

I'm sorry, but that's a very narrow-minded view of the game. The difference between a novel and a D&D game is simply the number of authors involved. And if you want to argue that there is no such thing as intellectual property rights pertaining to fictional characters... well then you just go...

"Right on" right back at ya. Playing a game under a GM is just an agreement that you're both imagining the same thing at the same time. :cool:

Hey The_Universe... does this remind you of anything? *cough* Kevin J. Anderson making Mara Jade into Lando's love toy and Timothy Zahn writing two more books to fix that *cough* lol :D

Absolutely. Same world... same character... why wouldn't it?

Wow, didn't know you were the creator of the Iron! ;) I agree, I'd have no problem with one of my characters getting twisted in an alternate universe either. But then, the GM is admitting upfront that he's not claiming the character to be the same.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess that most of the responses so far come from "career" GM's... ;) I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with most of you. The player owns the character, simply put. While the GM may provide the settings and circumstances under which the...

of course! :D

august 5-7 is bad too, as i probably won't be out there yet, and if i am then it'll be the weekend that we're moving to the new apartment. i guess that kinda narrows it down to one weekend... hehe

As a follow-up... The shepard's pie was great! i give it 9 out of 10 giant balls of fusion.

Hey guys and gals, just wanted to say it was nice gaming with you all this past weekend. I've been away from RPG's for too long now, and I look forward to getting back into it on a more regular basis. See you all again in a month or two! :D

Shepard's pie... :D Steakhouse... :D again!

Good girl. *pat pat*

My fiancee got me hooked on this show. Sure, some of the effects are cheesy, but there's a character interaction without compare in this show. I can't call it my favorite sci-fi universe, but it certainly contains some of my favorite characters. John is like a combination of Han Solo's...

Okay, I lied. I don't really hate you. :heh:

No. You're stupid... and we hate you... and you're stupid. :]
