    Torrent throwdown on the Wizards board

    Sorry, that's not a fact. It's not even close to a true statement. It's a point so easy to take down that if I download the same copy 500 times, according to you, I have caused the loss of 500 potentially sold books. That's false. I will use the example I used above. If anyone, right now...

    Torrent throwdown on the Wizards board

    To steal means you take something away from someone. If I steal a car, the owner doesn't have it. If I download a song, the owner still has full powers over it. Don't forget that stealing has a profit intention (selling a car, in example). Downloading has no economical profit (if you do, then...

    piracy is a problem

    And you are implying that people who download stuff are like mindless drones. I understand your position, being a writer and so on, so, may I recommend you to check out Creative Commons license? So are the free showing of books a bad idea too? What about people who visit Enworld and see...

    piracy is a problem

    I follow laws, since it's one of my duties as Spanish citizen. However, Spanish copyright rules allow me to download anything I want if I follow four conditions, being the main one the lack of profit one. The law is very clear, however, the Spanish government, manipulated by the big companies...

    piracy is a problem

    How is not? If I share with my friends that X was awesome and I even show them a piece of it, isn't that expanding culture? If I talk to my classmates about the awesomeness of certain thing I read in a book, isn't that expanding culture? Posting definitions of "stealing a kiss" or similar...

    piracy is a problem

    I really need to study USA copyright laws. I really don't think they are so different to European ones. Because, no offense, but your post seems to be about what you have "heard" by big companies or your own government. Also, piracy is illegal at pretty much all developed countries. As a tip...

    piracy is a problem

    First thing : Entertainment is culture. Second thing : Stealing implies the use of force against people or objects. In this case, there is none. You got to remember that any kind of product that has entertainment in mind is composed of two parts: -The product itself. -Its integration at...

    piracy is a problem

    I was going to post this. And I was going to post something else. Calling "pirates" to those who download stuff is an act of propaganda*. Comparing people who sunk(sank?) ships, raped women, killed men and stole their treasures to people who expand culture is insulting. Sadly it's one of...

    KotS - Wyrmpriests, Incite Faith and Minions

    A WotC employee said, last week, that indeed, minions would be at 6 HP. I can't remember in which thread it was though.

    Will buy.com get sued?

    They may have to pay a fine, but that depends on the current relation between Hasbro and Buy.com. Whoever took the decision for the early shipping is either stupid or a genious. Look at how many people cancelled their pre-orders to order from buy.com. Buy's slice of the cake is probably the...

    Should I cancel amazon pre order and order from buy.com?

    This kind of fines are easily assumed. It's like newspapers paying fines for publishing pictures that were taken without the consentment of the person portrayed or super factories paying millions in fines for contaminating the nature. The fine may not even happen, depending the relationship...

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    Since you asked at least three times and you are a funny guy I'll reply. Not much. There's a solid guide on building the character, pointing at which chapter you need to check for the stuff (powers, feats, equiptment, etc.). Since HP are fixed, there's no need to allocate skill ranks or...

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    I don't think that a paragon path being called "Pathfinder" is a coincidence.

    D&D 4E 4e has been leaked, scaned, and torrented...

    I got them aswell, however, since I'm respecting the Spanish private copy, I'm unable to share any information publically. I'm waiting for my gift set to ship from amazon, so I don't have much troubles "morally".

    World setting, and your upcoming plans...

    The one with the gargoyle messenger and the visions? I had the Demon Wastes in mind too, but I would have to some adjustments there and there. I still don't know, I got a flow of ideas running through my mind. I may borrow the other Eberron campaign books (my friend got them) and let the...

    World setting, and your upcoming plans...

    I'll be DMing at Eberron. I'm turning the area around The Blackcaps into a PoL mini-setting. Eldeen, Breland, Aundair and Thrane will see their barriers modified by a force lead by the Daughters of Sora Kell. It was either this or "revive" Cyre somehow.

    A few comments from a playtester

    However, a fighter with wizard multiclassing faces some other problems, like the possibly low intelligence, which affects the attack roll and damage. No armor restriction to casting though!

    Dark Editions

    That was hilarious, nice job! The Internet explorer touch was great. I remember reading the original some years ago and I was deeply annoyed. I did the Spanish version of it so my friends could share my annoyance.

    4E Gift Set pre-order received from buy.com

    But I guess buy.com was giving a similar delivery time, but I don't know, I never bought from buy.com. My amazon.com preorder says 18-30th June, but hey, I wouldn't mind if books shipped today, since I wouldn't receive them till past 6th June anyways.

    How will you read the core books day one?

    Since my books will be delivered on 18-30th June, I will be browsing Enworld forums to take notes of all the things I consider important. Once I got the books in my hands, and after the "oh my oh my oh my" moment, I'll check out the art of all three books and then start reading each book cover...
