    Re-defining clerics in a campaign... Thoughts?

    Just a quick thought reading your post (but not having tried anything like this) : why would the casting clerics accept to be under the rule of the non-casting clerics? I can see the loyal churches accepting things like this, but why would others accept that someone who isn't linked with the god...

    Morpheus and DnD

    The reason has nothing to do with communism in itself, rather with the fact that those countries were late in their coming to the "digital world", which means they began making laws a lot later than the United States. As such, there are still many holes in the laws of many countries (including...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    Nope, I haven't received any reply... You still have them? Want me to resend the mails?

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    Anything new coming from WotC? BTW, have you received my last two emails (the reply to yours, and a description of the campaign I'm DMing)? I was quite surprised not to receive any answer, but as my Outlook sometimes messes up, you never know!:D

    Do all high-level modules in 3E suck?

    If that's in your opinion what High Level PC do, your high-level adventures must be boring*. I prefer to play high-level with a lot of roleplay and interaction at a realm or sometimes world level. But then, my players usually go up nearly one level/session up until 10th level before progression...

    Do all high-level modules in 3E suck?

    If you don't like official adventures, your DM should create the adventures himself!... No, just kidding!:D Seriously though, I too find that high-level adventures are usually, and not only those by WotC, quite unadapted to be played as is. I'm a big fan of high-level campaigning myself, and...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Are you sure that's what you meant? Or is the way I understand this sentence completely wrong? Now, to resume my opinion on what I'm doing : legally, it may be theft to download a pdf version of a book I own. However, ethically, I really believe I'm not doing something wrong, and as such, I do...

    Morpheus and DnD

    I don't even care about your opinion of me, but I can counter the argument easily. You mean that if I buy a record and broadcast it via my radio station, it's ok? Then, it's as OK for someone to buy the book, scan it, and then give it to everyone who doesn't pay for it... But that's not what...

    Morpheus and DnD

    I know that the example I took is completely absurd! However, nowhere is it written that you can disseminate the content of the book verbally. Let's hope WotC doesn't sue us all!:D

    Morpheus and DnD

    But I do not believe I am breaking the law. Using a pdf of a book I own is, IMO, a part of the right I get by buying a book. Of course, if I give it to people who didn't pay (WotC, not me!;) ) for it, then it is illegal. One thing is funny : I can lend my book to my players even if they don't...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Then, technically, you cannot do what I explained with the FRCS. I just opened the book, and I do not see any place where it is said that you can use the ideas therein as a DM. Of course, that's absurd, but it's funny to see that. However, if a judge had to make a ruling on this subject, I'm...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Simply because I thought you were saying that if I make a pdf of a book I own, WotC won't be able to sell the pdf to me if they decide to create an ESD version of the book... I think I have seen a meaning that wasn't in your post, sorry ;)

    Morpheus and DnD

    I'm pretty sure I have the right to create an electronic version of a book I own, just as I have the right to create a MP3 from a CD I own (else, MP3 players wouldn't exist). As such, I don't see what I'm doing wrong by downloading a pdf version of the book I own, except saving me the hassle of...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Hey, as I said, I'm willing to pay for it... Here's a screenshot of my order at amazon (it doesn't look very well, but I didn't want to put too large a file here):

    Morpheus and DnD

    OK, my example was maybe inappropriate. But I am not even trying the product before buying it. I already bought it. The only difference is : I haven't received it yet. I mean, the order is already in place, and I will receive the book. I don't see what wrong I'm doing to WotC by downloading the...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Do you consider it a theft when you try a car before buying it? Do you consider it a theft when you hear a song on the radio before buying the CD? As I said, I've already preordered D&Dg and the ELH. If I can find it (illegally, I admit that), the only thing it will change is that I'll be able...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Maybe you found the fan-made version of Silverymoon (sorry, can't remember the adress right now). Remember that the WotC book will be named "The Silver Marches"... If you find anything, please let me know, I'm quite eager to have D&Dg and the ELH....

    Morpheus and DnD

    IMO, the problem not the eplosion of DnD products, or the pdf format for that matter. The problem has always existed, be it for rpg's or other forms of "copyrightable" products. I remember photocopying the AD&D 1st DMG. It took me an awful lot of time, but we ended up having 5 books for 5...
