Pretty good for Tactical and Resourceful with some great feat and power choices there. Much less so for Inspiring (who, aside from being better at healing, are significantly behind the others in their 'boost allies to kill the bad guys role' as it is). Pretty decent but I think the Warden...

How do you define 'well known enough'? Move away from EnWorld and you'll see far more games and gaming companies being discussed. Edit: Moreover, if your only determination of whether a company needs a policy is size then I find it confusing. Surely the determination should be how many fan...

Google's your friend... Moreover, your post shows you really don't have that much grasp on the industry. AEG published L5R long before they even conceived of doing Farscape, likewise 7th Sea. And given the Farscape license has reverted, why would you even mention it? Likewise there are...

Absolutely. WotC's one offers artwork and 'some rights'. White Wolf offers exposure via their website and 'some rights'. They also claim other rights that are arguable (some judges might rule yes, some might rule no). I'd definitely agree that the best policy would be one that encouraged more...

Please don't strawman my position. At no point did I say any other rpg companies were not willing to do so. I stated that other companies didn't have one. That's not the same thing at all. It could be because they have a relaxed position and don't believe it's needed. It could be because they...

Fantasy Flight Games Chaosium (nothing easily findable) AEG (nothing easily findable) Green Ronin (nothing easily findable for M&M other than Superlink or for AGoT) ArcDream (nothing easily findable) Archaia Studios Press Eden Studios (it had one but the link's gone dead) Eos Press (nothing...

15 people I game with, I'm the only one who even looks at Enworld with any regularity and even then i'd hesitate to say I 'use it'. For assorted reasons (this came up at last night's game actually) those who are aware of it don't like it, and those who aren't get their gaming news/info/ideas/fix...

The problem is socialism...wait, can't talk about it in those terms. Hmm... Bunnies and Burrows doesn't think that people can just take whatever they want. FATAL did but let's face it, that's why it was never published at all and is now something people don't like to talk about outside of...

By your argument I'm free to steal books from any bookshop, Music from any musicshop, films from video stores etc. etc. Actually walk in and steal it, afterall I'm 'paying my own expenses' which are 0. I cannot believe you're actually espousing this view as being acceptable. If they want to...

It's not legal in the US or the UK. You can make your own personal copy of something you have purchased yourself, but you cannot copy something that's in a library (you could get an excerpt, but not the whole book). You certainly cannot copy films or music from a library in the UK, US or most...

And they can choose not to get paid by not making it available online. That's their right because it's their product. Well, when WotC PDFs were available, they were the top selling pdfs on dtrpg, onebookshelf etc. So your point on the 'marketplace' would seem to be wrong. The 'marketplace' was...

Wow I've specialised in rights management and copyright law for the past five years now and yet in all that time not one judge, lawyer, legal case of book of law has ever suggested that copyright laws solely apply to companies and not individuals. I'd love to see you support that statement...

The legal question isn't how many lost sales there were, it's how many violations there were. That's what determines how much the fine (when it goes to court) or likely settlement is determined to be.

Obscenely large fines (see the RIAA) don't work (to stop all pirates, they do deter an unquantifiable number). People still pirate stuff. Ignoring it doesn't 'work' in that you'll have X amount of lost sales. This being an unquantifiable number. Plus as a creator/coworker of creators/employee of...

You're making a strawman here as that's not what MR argued. His point was this 'might' have a deterrence. You're asserting he said it caused all scans/copies to vanish. Now, you could make the point 'it's evidently not a very good deterrence'. But you'd run up against the problem that...

I don't know where you get the idea it makes me uncomfortable. I just thought someone should call you on it. But yes, I can certainly ignore you.

I've signed an NDA for every job I've had... Given what I replied to, it's fairly obvious that my question was in regard to your unsported assertions of a 5th edition. The reason for asking is that while conjecture (which you claim this to be) can be totally unsupported, it's also believed by...

While your conjecture is certainly based upon unsupported grounds, do you seriously believe it to be true (and thus it would be conjecture) or is this simply tinfoil hattery and rumourmongering as it appears to be?

Most rpg companies don't have a fansite policy, this would mean that everyone who creates a fansite for that company's game would be vulnerable to being sued and without clear guidelines on what they can/can't do. Of those who do, some claim that anything you publish (which includes posting it...

The redistribution (piracy) of RPGs is not undertaken by hundreds of people, such as with music or films. There are a relatively small number of people involved. When 1+ of them stop doing it, knock on effects happen. At least one of the individuals in this lawsuit is/has been responsible for...
