The OotS book I own says otherwise. No you don't. You don't have to buy anything advertised. You don't even have to watch the commercials.

But he does make a profit. And we're not just talking about a couple thousand dollars a year, here - he makes enough that he was able to quit his job and work on OotS full-time. Now, as far as I'm concerned, that's great - I like OotS, and I'm happy that Rich is able to make a living off it. But...

Too true. I think this comic sums up Wikipedia quite well.

Network TV is, to you, a free product. Are you saying you wouldn't complain to your TV station if your signal went down half the time when new episodes of your favorite shows were airing?

Actually, he said a long time ago that he was making enough money off OotS that he was able to quit his job and work on it full time. So, no, putting OotS on the internet doesn't cost Rich money; it makes him money.

That's why I said "not in the core rules."

*sigh* Is Rich ever going to upgrade his POS server? This is really getting old.

Chainmail FTW!

Hey, you were the one who said that it's the small things that make D&D what it is (and specifically listed 0-9th level spells, which 1st edition didn't have, as an example). Well, do they or don't they?

Then 1st edition wasn't D&D, because it didn't have 0 level spells (not in the core rules, anyway).

For DosBox? Wizardry 7. Still one of my favorite CRPGs of all time. Tons of class options, hard puzzles that really make you think, huge world to explore.... It's an awesome game. I replayed it a couple of years ago and it was still fun. Give it a try if you like party-based CRPGs.

How is an 8 Int barbarian going to solve (for example) a math-based puzzle when he probably doesn't know anything about mathematics beyond (maybe) basic addition and subtraction? Replace the math-based puzzle with ones based on concepts he's not likely to be familiar with or understand very...

And what if one of the players is playing an 8 Int barbarian who's incapable of solving any puzzle?

I've played in games where combat was handwaved to just such an extent (though without the whiny tone you used). Worked just fine for us.

I don't have any problem with puzzles in D&D. What I do have a problem with is a DM going to ridiculous lengths to make sure that solving the puzzle/riddle/whatever is the ONLY way to proceed. A door that opens when the answer to a riddle is spoken aloud is fine; if that same door is completely...

No, doing stupid things makes them stupid. Peter not reading Adam's mind to find out the truth after he had multiple people tell him Adam was a bad guy was stupid. Alejandro confronting a confessed murderer alone in a secluded area without a weapon or a plan of any kind was stupid. Maya trusting...

The Wire. Absolutely phenomenal.

Reaper's a fun little show that doesn't take itself too seriously. I enjoy it well enough for what it is.

Again, the fact that you are missing is that there are no other employers in the industry. Basically all of Hollywood entertainment is controlled by six huge corporations - NBC Universal, Disney, Time Warner, Paramount, Sony and News Corp (FOX). Further, those six corporations negotiate as a...

Actually, they do. Collective bargaining rights are protected under U.S. law. They can demand whatever they want to. Nothing says the studios have to agree, of course, but nothing says the writers have to come back to work until they receive what they feel is a fair deal, either. And you...
