    Forums are Painfully slow

    Response times are still beyond ridiculous. It's better to shut the site down and repair it than continue like this.

    Is 4E charmless?

    He could have done worse - he could have compared it to an Ulli Lommel movie...

    Is 4E charmless?

    I don't read the OP as anti-4e. I can certainly see where he's coming from - 4e runs smoothly, but at the cost of the quaint charm of its predecessors. It does have its own charm, though, but it will take some time to mature. With an OGL and a good 3PP support it might had matured sooner... :devil:

    A History & Analysis of TSR’s Copyright Policies

    Such a good read... it brings back many memories. Do you know when it was published and in what APA?

    Any word on the GSL?

    I thought they were pretty funny...

    No "wider" Sweet Spot in 4E after all?

    7½ actually.

    Putting your money where your mouth is.

    You think the current beta has quality? And is a stable product? Wow. Just, wow.

    Skill Challenge Overkill (mearls stuff)

    It's actually much worse than that. It's the equivalent of saying that once the party members have missed with three attacks, they have lost the combat. Missing in combat is bad, but it's not what makes you lose the fight. It's the opposition hitting you and whittling away your hit points. The...

    GSL vs. no GSL Forked From: Where are all of the campaign settings?

    I'm sorry, but you just did it again. Terrible things don't happen to you - no one is claiming that. But terrible things do happen to your legal rights. Goodman decided they could live without those rights and make some money in the process. Still doesn't change the fact that their legal rights...

    So has the D20 STL been officially revoked?

    I don't find it implausible. I simply find it incorrect. Please note that this has nothing to to with trademark law. It's a matter of contract law. I doubt US contract law is that dissimliar to contract law in my country.

    GSL vs. no GSL Forked From: Where are all of the campaign settings?

    You are misrepresenting what S'mon said. Terrible things do happen to your legal rights when you sign the GSL. He did not however claim that terrible things happen to you or your company. Different things. As to the license being fairly standard - I signed a license with TSR in the dark days...

    So has the D20 STL been officially revoked?

    That is so false it's not even funny. They can revoke their offer, but certainly not a valid contract. Owning a trademark doesn't make you God.

    GSL vs. no GSL Forked From: Where are all of the campaign settings?

    I think you are seriously confusing civil suits with criminal suits here. It's one thing to sue for damages - quite another thing to just report a crime to the police.

    Forum Navigation

    I only see it when I look at the thread list for a forum, not in an actual thread. I don't know if it's related to the missing navigation, but neither thing was there a few hours ago.

    Do you guys also get a little JavaScript error instead of that navigation?

    Charge - To nearest square? Huh?

    By the rules for counting distances, yes.

    Suddenly there is a script error...

    All of a sudden I lost a piece of the page (see attachment) when I go to one of the forums. The main forum page still contains it. Instead of this line, I get a JavaScript error ('null' is null or not an object). What has happened? I use IE6 on WinXP.

    Charge - To nearest square? Huh?

    Only when that corner is adjacent to the origin. Look at the top row - no counting across a corner there. The square around the wall corner is clearly 3 squares away from the blast origin.
