Correct. All monsters/NPCs of level X have an AC of Y+(12-16). :D joe b.

IMO, the seminal difference between 4e and the prior incarnations of D&D is this: In 4e The world exists based upon the PCs interactions. (For example: In this type of role-playing minions make sense. The power of a creature is viewed only in relation to the PCs powers.) The earlier editions of...

For those who believe OSRIC is copyright infringement, would you please point to the explicit textual samples that supports such a view? I assume that if someone does think something is illegal they have a textural reason to believe such. If you don't want to do such in public, my e-mail is...

Hi Shocked! I'm joe b. ;) joe b.

Please don't forget to bookmark that low-res PDF. :) joe b.

Me too. joe b.

Didn't this happen in Feb of this year? I think the change was made when they updated the SRD as well. joe b.

I am interested as well in the documents. I did a public records search in WI and did not find the lawsuits spoken of. According to Wiki they were settled out of court confidentially. My knowledge of the court system kinda ends there, so I don't know where to look for court documents for things...

The only thing known positively is that the legal department of WotC has known about OSRIC for years and done nothing. Ascribing a motive to that inaction is pure speculation. I suspect, however, if OSRIC has already been deemed 100% legal by WotC, the only thing we can count on with certainty...

Can you provide a specific example of what is illegal and infringing? It sounds like you are completely certain in your view, so I'm interested in what specific text examples you find illegal and infringing that leads to such certainty. joe b.

Looks cool. joe b.

Looks very cool! joe b.

Hrm... as someone who's involved in Community Supported Agriculture I'd never thought about such a model in the RGP industry. Hrm. joe b.

The real reality is that you don't have the right to benefit me without my explicit permission. The issues is not one of benefit or harm, it is of rights and who makes the decisions concerning the use and distribution of a produced product. For example, if you don't have the owners explicit...

No, there's a difference between copyright infringement and identity theft. What I described (someone placing their name on someone else's academic work and then distributing that work - even for free) isn't identity theft, it's plagiarism. They're not pretending to be someone else, they're...

Would you feel a victim were someone to remove your name from a work you did for academia and replace it with their own? Do you have an expectation of proper accreditation of the source of one of your works? Why cannot one simply put one's name in the place of others' names? What laws do you...

Huh? Of course they haven't "stolen" anything, but they have copyright infringed. Theft is different from copyright infringement. joe b.

You should probably check. They make you jump through hoops to remove the material, but they do remove it. I stumbled upon it after reading about JK Rowling's issue with the site. joe b.

The instant you create a copy of the product that doesn't fall under fair use you've committed copyright infringment. It's not "piracy", it's copyright infringement. If you make a copy that is not under fair use, you've infringed. A general rule of thumb is that the instant that the copyrighted...

As did I. I sent a notice a few days ago and they removed it. Our book had been downloaded over 250 times and viewed over 1200 (if I'm remembering properly), which is just about as many downloads as we've sold as PDF. And Scribd is only one site. It made me post at my livejournal - Sometimes I...
