    D&D General Plagiarised D&D art

    D&D General Plagiarised D&D art

    Randomly typing a series of keystrokes over and over may turn out War and Peace but that four volume set has 587,287 words, so I doubt it will ever be accomplished. With a further thought it does sound like you are trying to brute force a copy into existence which based on the number of words...

    D&D General Plagiarised D&D art

    Also: "Further, because Swift has written every single song released in her six albums and therefore owns the Musical Composition copyright, she retains the “sync rights” of her music. This is important: it means that she holds the right to determine whether her songs can be used in projects...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Having done first line technical support, the ability to write in a clear and concise manner really does wonders for how quickly your ticket is dealt with and resolved. In my personal experience I found that the people that could clearly convey their issues were those people with English as a...

    Mickey’s Mouse Trap coming in March

    According to this old article on the EFF website: "The Supreme Court ruled in 2003’s Dastar v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. that you can’t use trademark law to extend an expired copyright." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/well-probably-never-free-mickey-thats-beside-point I am also...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Would I buy it? No, I wonder if this will give rise to the android head of Philip K. Dick V2.0 ? :-)

    Mickey’s Mouse Trap coming in March

    I did go to the cinema to see the movie, there was so much wasted potential with it I left feeling a bit hollow and underwhelmed by it all.

    I think Gremlins 2 pokes fun at that situation.

    MCDM's New Tactical TTRPG Hits $1M Crowdfunding On First Day!

    D&D 5E (2014) When did you last buy a WotC D&D5e product? (not a third party or DM Guild)

    The only official 5e product I ever purchased was the 2014 starter set. It's also probably the last time I ever ran D&D. I was more of a Pathfinder fan.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I enlarged the image of the patch and that D6 has the 1 pip and 6 pip visible, which is just plain odd.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    To get onto the name tangent, last time I checked using a tool that queried the electoral roll, there were 501 people with my name combination in the UK. Turns out that three of us live in the same area, one is registered at the same GP. One day we had both booked appointments on the same day.
