    Did WotC underestimate the Paizo effect on 4E?

    There is also this 30 page poll / request for comments / regular updates about what they'd heard about the gsl thread. It starts in October I think and the last posts are in march where they are still saying they've heard nothing about the GSL. To add to the pseudo-math - Interesting numbers...

    Rise of the Runelords: Difficulty Level (Spoilers included)

    The campaign arc and final adventures are really worth it, so do what you have to give your players a fair shake. Another idea - there are a number of rune magic feats, items and special spells (some in a free web enhancement somewhere) - as your players earn sin points and research Thassilon...

    Rise of the Runelords: Difficulty Level (Spoilers included)

    Rise of the Runelords has a few places where a tpk is likely. The end boss of the second book is a killer - you will need to tone her encounter down. The adventure path as a whole is very dangerous. The third book focuses on heavy hitting ogres with power attack. The fourth has an army of...

    Pathfinder 1E You're the CEO of PAIZO. Now What?

    The best way to get your work seen by paizo staff is to either participate in the RPG Superstar contest next year (http://paizo.com/rpgsuperstar - this years contest is over) or submit something to the pathfinder society (http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/submissions). If you are keen on new...

    Pathfinder 1E You're the CEO of PAIZO. Now What?

    I'm just saying it possible to see the two situations as different. You won't see me running around caterwauling about the evils of WOTC . I was pretty stoked about 4.0 coming out, I'd really liked Bo9s. It didn't turn out quite the way that I wanted it to, but I don't take it as a personal attack.

    Pathfinder 1E You're the CEO of PAIZO. Now What?

    One potential way of distinguishing the two situations would be to see which party changed the status quo. :)

    Pathfinder 1E You're the CEO of PAIZO. Now What?

    Comics would be neat. They do have a short story that goes with every issue of an AP already.

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    Maybe after I secure articles and see the real world. From my (limited) perspective as a student most of the folks from Canada who go to the UK for an LLM or PhD go into academia. Not sure I want to go that route yet. I like university, but maybe not that much :) Is your thesis available online?

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    Where do you teach law if you don't mind me asking? I've been taught to view property simply rights, not ownership of a physical object. I took from your posts that you consider being a physical object / existing without / despite a law deeming it to exist, to be a key point of property. But...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    You are describing the difference between real property and personal property (chattels) not the difference between property and not-property. :) The best way to think about property is as a bundle of rights and obligations not as an actual object. What you describe for real property isn't...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    The question didn't specify income or property taxes, just tax in general. Also, a property tax (in canada at least it may be different down south) only targets one type of property, freehold real property (land). You wouldn't get taxed on your lease, or your car even though those are types of...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    Yes countries tax income earned from patent royalties or licensing copyrights etc... There are rules for allocating the tax revenue from ip in Article 12 of the OECD's Model Tax Convention and in the UN model so I suspect nearly every country in the world except for tax havens will tax ip in...

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    Up here in Canada, what is 'best for the corporation' is very broad. A board of directors does not have to maximize short term profits, or profits at all. In considering what is best for the corporation they are entitled to weigh the interests of: "the interests of shareholders, employees...

    What's Seltyiel like?

    If you have the second darkness player's guide it has campaign traits that encourage or assume that the players are friends / working together / have a common goal. The character mix is also quite a bit more morally ambivalent than Bastards. LN monk, N druid, LE fighter/mage and CN barbarian...

    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    Could cutting off the online sale of pdfs be an attempt to quantify / prove their damages? -- "Look m'lord, these pirates forced the plaintiff to stop doing business with these fine online merchants, which is costing us 300k a month in business?" -- "M'lord it is also my submission that the...
