    Why THAC0 Rocks

    The advantage with the 3e version is that both the Target Number and BAB gain bonuses (this removes the confusion over the lower AC #= better AC) But basiclly its the same formula, only reversed Target number(Def) - BAB(Att) = number you need to roll on the dice.

    Trademarks and RPG:s

    I dont think these "myths" about copyright protection are a coincidence. And just so you know, false copyright claims are more common then you think.

    Trademarks and RPG:s

    Anyone who wants to know what trademarks are registered by Wotc can search the United States Patent and Trademark Office Website My search found 162 live trademarks owned by Wotc. I didnt count how many of them would apply to the D&D RPG but im sure its less then most people would have guessed.

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    I guess I can sum this up by saying that I do believe ALL digital media (software including pdf. mp3, programs, games,) is worthless. The labor done to create the original product has a physical result that is worth as much money as its original creator can get for it. Dont confuse the...

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    Obviously If I pay for a book I would concider the ideas in the book important. Hence the who "would by a book with blank pages" coment. But an opinion of "quality content" is very subjective so putiing a dollar amount on this is hard to do basicly because it has a different value to everyone...

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    I did state in an early post (though it may not have been clear) that all digital media you can get is worth the cost of a computer and maybe the internet. But I did forget electricity

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    Im saying if you make digital media you might as well make it free. The reason for this is because a computer can duplicate and distribute your digital media instantly and infinitly for free this is a fact. I did not invent the computer or internet so dont blame me for this. If companies know a...

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    Well obviously you didnt do all that work because you liked it. But if some company has hired/contracted you once they have bought your work Its upto them to pick a medium for sale not you. So Im not sure why you are conserned about what happens to your ideas after youve been paid.

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    Paper content- Who buys a RPG book filled with blank pages? Digital media- all digital information you can get is worth the cost of a computer and maybe the internet I think you are confused about labor because it does produce physical results
