Spoiler-riffic! Then again, I guess any three pages you chose would have had *some* spoilers on them.

Orange Crate Art: Pullum on Strunk and White Pullum v. Strunk and White on Env ETA: And that's #900 for me. May #1000 be as momentous.

No, the rule does not conflict with any other rules. When "who/whom" isn't the object of the preposition, which to use is determined by different criteria. In the original sentence which started this whole digression, it's "Hypocrisy by whom, precisely?" because in that sentence "whom" is the...

Though it sounds strange to many modern English speakers, it is correct, because "am" is a form of the verb "to be," a linking verb (not a preposition). "It is I," "the culprit was she," and so forth are other examples of the rule.

Ugh. No, please, no grammar debates. [Because I can't resist. Technically, "by whom" is always correct and "by who" is never correct. When "who/whom" is the object of a preposition, it's always "whom," not "who" (just as it's always "him," not "he").]

In the 4E version, yes, that block of text you see on the title page (along with the compatibility logo) is a GSL requirement.

A couple of notes: The only matter relevant to copyrights that's in the US Constitution is in Article I, Section 8: the bit where the US Congress is granted the power "[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive...

When posting a reply to a thread, I got the attached message. I assume this means that a post somewhere in the thread (presumably already deleted) was spam?

Whether or not the infringement is of consequence only matters when you're measuring damages. No, this argument doesn't work; the conclusion doesn't follow logically from the premise. Publishers using the OGL must be very mindful of copyright, whether it involves using other people's...

The second half is.

Apart from the obvious: - "He's my character, not yours" - "The GM is down with it, why not roll with it" - "You're getting static all up in my moment" - "Next time you roll a barbarian, you can not-cry all you like" - "This is a 'role-playing' game, remember" - "Illiteracy has exactly nothing...

Wow. No pressure, right? *faint*

As I said in a (much) earlier thread along these lines, if you do hand out parts for the players, make sure to reserve Giorgio for yourself as DM. He's too much fun.

To elaborate, in the (default) D&D/PF world, alignment is a real force, like, say, gravity. Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos exist, they have champions, you can root for your favorite "team," you can use a magic "Geiger counter" to determine how much of a given force is in the area, etc. In D&D, Evil...

In any event, alignment is for D&D characters, not for real people.

The argument goes that if the copyright holder is not the one distributing the copyrighted material, and the copyright holder has not given permission for anyone else to distribute it, then it is a violation of the copyright to distribute it. Cost/price is not a factor.

Lawful Good characters live, laugh, love, and make merry just like everybody else. They sorrow, they rage, they give up, they persevere, and they appreciate a good joke, even if it's played on them. Or they don't. The point is alignment doesn't have much to do with personality. Alignment...

Sounds like one of those "false antivirus program" viruses. This procedure basically replicates Eric's, above, but has links to the software as well. How To Remove Antivirus Live and Other Rogue/Fake Antivirus Malware - How-To Geek

Well, try to survive a little while longer, as there may be some delay occasioned by Wednesday's storms in Alabama (and elsewhere). I'm writing from Middle Tennessee, where they actually have electricity....
