Meh. I just want cultural distinction, not historical distinction.

No, but a written [non-mathematical] expression of game mechanics may be copyrighted. But if said written text is designated OGC under the OGL, then you may copy them verbatim, so long YOU obey the OGL also. As stated before, the OGL defines OGC (i.e., Open Game Content) and PI (Product...

Did this happened to you already? Did his name already cost you a possible job?

Borrowed, you say? Huh. But aren't dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, etc., borrowed elements from European folklore? Granted, I would allow this latitude. Pirates in Japan do exist, usually classified under the lowest class, as are highwaymen and robbers. They try not to get caught, or else...

Unfortunately, they stick too much European influence in the blender, so you'll end up having blonde-haired blue-eyed samurai with Western concept of honor, but for the simple fact that white-dominated western buying populace can relate to something as foreign as Asian.

Well, I haven't seen the True SRD, but as long as the SRD contains all OGC, and not one PI, then it is okay. Just because the product is under OGL, doesn't necessarily means it is 100% OGC. The OGL specifically defines what is OGC and PI, and which content you can use under the license, and...

Meh. I rarely read the product reviews section. I come here on this messageboard to get average joe gamer's reviews, despite the flood of negativities and "this product sucks!" threads.

I forgot to ask. What happened to Melissa Pulling? Did she continue her mother's campaign?

That and no Time of Trouble version 2 for the 2e-to-3e transition.

I think she equated D&D to porn, something you shouldn't say on the first date meeting a woman. :lol: Then again, these days, saying you like porn isn't that much of a shock value to women, unless you're dating a granny. No offense to Morrus's grandma.

Meh. I just ignore them and play D&D the way I want to play it. Trust me, every game with a fan community have a circle of overly opinionated jerks. D&D is not alone.

Yeah, I remembered the Player's Guide to the Forgotten Realms in the 2e Era. All fluff, but not exciting for players to have (or DM to recommend them). I'd rather have the campaign guide and let the DM provide the information. After all, as DM, we can't be THAT lazy, despite the loads of work...

I disagree, but for the simple fact that I didn't like 2eR + PO combo, though PO did get it somewhat on the right track when it comes improving the NWP system. But I'm glad they replaced the ambiguous character kit in favor of prestige class or alternate class feature options. Nah, 3e is a...

No switching. Got many 3e and d20 products to use. May salvage some good material from Pathfinder or any future OGL-based products (the ones "compatible with the third edition of the best-selling fantasy roleplaying game").

There was a Q&A entry explaining the meaning of potation (an anachronistic legal term meaning to convert from one form to another), but it is no longer there. Tried to do a search on any online law dictionary but my google-fu is limited. Call it a poor word choice...

But not too detailed. Didn't like it when they fully statted novel characters as well as characters from Ed Greenwood's own game. I prefer a little latitude as to how I want to present them in my own game, IF I want to introduce them to my players' PC. I still like the fact they kept Sembia...

Pray you do not fall from grace, despite I like some of your earlier works (I have downloaded and used your Universal FX for my d20 Modern games). Pray I can forgive you should the fall come.

Ah. Never got around to picking up that book, for 1e and 3e.

Thanks. Found one that is as close to MSIE it can get.

If you want the added headache, more power to you. Personally, it's okay, I just don't think it should be convoluted or silly, like rolling one day for a season (winter, fall, spring, summer) and roll again for the next day. There are some that prefer a bit of pattern, like the waxing and...
