RPG Must Haves Fangoria #97: Zombies, Chucky, Cyborgs, and Magic Portals. The articles call me back to main stream concepts when I veer too far off. October 1977, Terror Tales: The stories are a good over view of classic horror up to that point. I take much from the genre for my fantasy games...

No... Although, I recall my happy thoughts about the DDI services at the start of 4e. The lack of delivery of goods pretty much seals that fate - I am not paying money to DDI for erratic promises. It's nothing personal...all practical.

However aggressive, the only real rule is that owners should not contact a forum admin directly. If you have a legal issue that needs resolving, the only safe way to do it generally revolves around letting your lawyer speak for you.

That works... I have been around since 2003 and even have my cute dice bag from the donation drive we had a while back. So, I will be on the site as long as it is around in all honesty. Thanks for the overview, however. :) Errr....yeah...all..non fan boyish stuff etc... *returns to lurking...

What if the new site went over to the social network and used the "login" from the new site to keep up the old forum? :) We could have cake and eat it, too.

*ponders short list of changes that would hurt my feelings* 1. Claiming perpetual ownership of user content - including artwork and family photos 2. Changing user interface every 3 weeks and forcing users to muck with the default privacy levels. 3. Permission popups every 3-4 clicks. Those...

I would let the players know they are completing the short story arcs, too. It gives a sense of completion to the players which helps to keep their attention in the long run.

Using the DMCA in such a manner? If people think the banter from forum gamers is rough, I can only imagine the discomfort for all parties when the EFF sends a lawyer instead of hitting the submit button.

I play at my game forum. Pure PBP.... That being said, I have a few observations to make. - Be assertive as a GM - I advocate assertive role as a GM for simple First Contact reasons. People have to like the campaign...which includes the GM for them to become regular players. - Dun dun dun...

Player disappointment in rule mechanics... The players at my game table all have doubts that range from fighters not being able to wear heavy armor to small fighter weapon issues. "This sucks" is a rough point of origin for a campaign. Even as a player, the cleric saying... "Let me help you heal...

*still does not see how forum posts even factor into the issue without a transfer of product* Directly speaking to US law... Sleekcraft factor 6, dealing with advertising channels, could deal with the method of confusion which relates to a forum. However, it would not transfer the liability of...

Speaking directly to the context of the original request to the other Forum, I have a hard time making sense of the transition from forum post to product in terms of trademark case law. Just wondering...

What If? What if it was a long standing gamer/poster you respected running the 4e game instead of a spouse/BF/GF? The point about it being a people thing comes up a few times. I dislike 4e enough to not ask for my PHB back - on loan currently. Yet, I have no problem playing at a 4e game table...

Yes. The system itself is robust enough to create a Bolo universe on the fly without breaking down on a mechancial level. The campaign was a one night run with one Bolo tank, one pilot, and an aerial AI satelite. The game went smoothly. Overall, the high points were... - The Bolo was...

*ponders the 1994ish years of TSR and the third party floods of 3.0 d20* Hmm, the internal production of anything with legs versus the external production of anything with legs. I imagine that WOTC people with the full numbers could make an interesting comparison if bored.

Evolution wise, I would love to see the general mood of the community towards keeping the OGL games active evolve into a real policy from the publishers. It would define a very clear shift for both the players and publishers which benefits everyone by clearly defining the market leaders for both...

Scribus and Open Office are what I use for my print items. I do not do a lot of PDF distribution as the games are all local at the moment, but I use Bullzip for things like watermarks, custom sizes, and whatever PDF options I need. All three are free options. If you work with a local print...

Free or not, it is still a product. It has some value - the trick is getting the worthwhile content into distribution. *shrug* Small networks just do not get the traffic for it to spread as a "natural" growth - quality issues entirely aside.

I speak for myself. Pathfinder is still emerging in my view. So, altering the core system beyond small house rules is something I am not eager to chew on for the moment. You could be meeting that kind of problem from other people. Heck, some of us are just now getting the core book from...

It could just be a slow weekend, too.
