    EU Vice-president says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer.

    That's not true. What we do have is a 14-day "right of withdrawal" period for anything bought "off-premises" – online, mail order, doorstep sales, and so on. Some countries extend this to 30 days, but the EU minimum is 14 days. There are also many exceptions, such as personalized or...

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    Warforged didn't have darkvision or low-light vision in either 3e, 4e, or 5.0. Why should they start having it now?

    Bahston also has a pretty distinctive accent. I'm not sure if it's a more general Massachusetts thing or if it's specific to Bahston. On the topic of supers, I'm hoping that when they get around to doing X-Men and hopefully including Emma Frost, they'll have her speak in a very refined voice...

    History Rhymes: Another Gygax Lawsuit

    Arent these the kinds of things that will tend to get a case dismissed without prejudice? Basically saying "You're doing this incorrectly, you can try again and get it right"?

    Why do the Actors Matter?

    I don't think that's related to age per se. That probably has more to do with their habit of contracting actors a rung or two below super-stardom for several movies, and once those movies are up those actors have often been able to climb those rungs making it much more expensive to renew those...

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    Oh yes, on a Doylist level shifters are definitely lycanthropes-lite and changelings dopplegangers-lite. I was thinking about the in-world lore.

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    Speaking of which... I don't know to what degree you're running ENWorld as a business versus as a hobby, and to what degree it is separate from EN Publishing, but I definitely remember ENWorld running a fundraiser back in the day as the result of being hacked, and offering bundles of EN...

    Wizards of the Coast Reveals Revised Eberron Species Details

    There's definitely some Eberron material out there that implies that lycanthropes are shifters taken to 11 rather than shifters being watered-down lycanthropes. I can't recall if that material is presented as fact or if it's an in-setting theory.

    Didn't LaNasa try something similar with the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum? Donate X dollars and we'll put a plaque with your name on the wall?

    Ah, I did not know that. It's always nice to hear movie people appreciate TV stuff.

    I'm not as much into Superman lore as I am X-Men, but I've definitely seen both LexCorp and LuthorCorp. Smallville, for example, used LuthorCorp, primarily because it was being run by Lex's father Lionel (with Lex being put in charge of a Smallville-based subsidiary to prove himself, IIRC). I...

    EU Vice-president says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer.

    The Commission is where legislation gets proposed, which then has to be approved by the Parliament and the Council. Neither the Commission nor Parliament can propose legislation themselves, but they can request that the Commission does so. To some extent, this is basically a safety feature to...

    Come to think of it, I don't think we ever see Supes at full power in this movie. He starts being beaten up by the Hammer of Barovia, and gets taken to the Fortress to get some focused sun... and he leaves when he's at 83%, and gets beaten again. We don't know if he gets to rest up again before...

    Come to think of it, that bit reminds me somewhat of another great hero: Esmeralda Weatherwax. "There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment about the nature of sin, for example," said Oats. "And what do they think? Against it, are they?" said Granny Weatherwax. "It’s not as simple...

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    Makes sense. That also explains why the most successful licensed RPGs are those that are tied to an IP with long-term success and lots of source material to draw on (e.g. Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings) where both the licensor and licensee are interested in a more long-term relationship...

    Pathfinder 2E Challenge and XP are overstated

    I have a feeling your PCs just got lucky, or somehow managed to make the monster use its action economy poorly. Just looking at a simplified white-room analysis, and using the creature creation guidelines for numbers: A typical level 2 PC will have an attack bonus of +9 (proficiency 4...
