    POD for Personal use?

    I believe this would violate their Member Agreement. As I read the Agreement, there is no distinction made between content you upload only for your "own" use or content you upload for distribution.

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    Other way round, surely. I would have to say making products is the means and money is the end. I would also argue that there are companies out there that make no products but still turn a profit.

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    If by "fandom" you mean "people who create and make available products named 'Army Builder'," then yes. But publishers and distributors of products must name their products, and so they start wandering into the trademark minefield (for better or worse). As I understand the clarification, the...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    As I read it, nobody "went after" anybody. As they've asked other organizations in the past, to protect their trademark, Lone Wolf asked Privateer, in what turned out this time to be poorly-worded letter, to please police infringing uses of "Army Builder" as a trademark and to please educate, or...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    And some people who are not bullies, but who have read and understand the law pertaining to their property, take certain actions which *seem* like bullying to some observers because they are obligated to take said actions when they wish to protect said property. And some of *those* people commit...

    Subjectivity, Objectivity, and One True Wayism in RPGs

    Meanwhile, some of us who live out here in the real world, where real people process the same information and experience differing emotional reactions to that information, think this is all just so much mental calisthenics, except to no good end. What this thread appears to come down to is this...

    What are the Realistic Limitations of the OGL?

    IIUC, there is no "recourse" available, unless the new product copies Paizo material which is not OGC. However, a new product such as the one contemplated must overcome, at the very least, the following hurdles that occur to me off the top of my head: (1) Production value. Paizo's books look...

    Scooped by failblog dot org. Would link but for the existence of plenty of grandma-unfriendly material. Here is the image itself, however: http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/ipad.jpg?w=500&h=500

    D&D character with multiple personalities

    I'm biased against it, as I explained above. My specific thoughts based on your latest post: "Each" character gets half (or so) XP? How far ahead will the rest of the party get, level-wise, and how fast? Sounds like one Good personality, one Evil one. How long will the rest of the party put up...

    D&D character with multiple personalities

    The RAW (any edition) don't even contemplate this situation, AFAIK. I can't think of a book or supplement that supports a character who can "flip-flop" between classes (etc.) based on what I will call "alter egos."* * Let's just say I'm very uncomfortable tossing around real-life clinical...

    Freeform Spellcasting

    Well, again, there was no design effort put into the thing, just a collection of different things I was looking at. Casting time was one of the things you could "buy down" by spending points.... if you suddenly needed feather fall for example, and had a freeform 2nd- or 3rd-level slot to burn...

    Freeform Spellcasting

    I once had this notion of lumping together 3.5E Psionics, 2E "epic" spellcasting (True Dweomers), Ars Magica, FUDGE Gramarye, Dragonlance 5th Age SAGA, and Elements of Magic Revised into some kind of uber-freeform system that was completely optional and yet totally available to any spellcasting...

    What's a good word processor/ software for writing adventures?

    Well, without having used it I can't actually recommend it, but AbiWord is a free word processor that appears to be getting fairly good reviews. AbiWord I don't know what you mean by "non-tethered" with regard to boxed text (or a box of text). There are generally two ways to achieve boxed text...

    What's a good word processor/ software for writing adventures?

    In addition to answering Umbran's question, can you explain a bit why Word and OpenOffice are off the list? Word is ubiquitous, and OpenOffice is free....

    OGL SRD on the iPhone

    I believe this is correct. I believe this is correct. IMO, neither. A statement claiming "all monster names and monster statistical data are Open Game Content" should be sufficient. IMO, you should add your product's title, copyright date, and copyright holder (yourself, I take it) to your...

    New PDF Software?

    I too am tied to Word (and PowerPoint) in my day job. Glad I could help. Best of luck and have fun!

    New PDF Software?

    Personally, I learn best by doing, so my suggestion would be to start by creating something *now* and evaluating whether what you create meets the standards you're setting for yourself. If so, then you don't need to look much further; if not, then you will need to determine whether acquiring new...
