How will removing PDF's from sale stop piracy when all the pirates have to do is scan a physical copy of the books? Star Wars RPG books are not currently sold in PDF form, yet they too turn up on file sharing networks within days if not hours of release.

Another thing to keep in mind, though it may not have that large of an impact, is how many individuals bought more than one copy? Some buy one for themselves, and then an extra for a spouse or for backup.

But see, the problem is who gets to decide unequivocally for everyone what's right and what's wrong? I respect your right to feel the way you do, but honestly, we all have to realize that not everyone suscribes to the same values/morals/ethics. It is illegal. Immoral? By some standards. By...

Gosh, remember the good old days when all D&D had to worry about was accusations of being satanic? At least that was good PR! :lol:

Fair enough, but many of us don't see it as cut and dry. Many of us don't see file sharing as theft either, but that can be debated endlessly. ;)

And since these lawsuits are specifically about pirating of PH2, it may be hard to determine how much money they lost, when by all accounts, PH2 is SOLD OUT! But yeah, as others have mentioned, of those @3000 or less downloads, how many were done by folks that already had bought a physical copy?

Sad news. As someone mentioned above, its been a rough couple of years.

Because I don't own a boat. Although I wouldn't be likely to engage in piracy even if I had a boat. Much too dangerous these days. :)

All I can say is: DUMB! How hard are they going to keep trying to KILL their own hobby? So...some folks are pirating their books...so they're going to punish the folks that are following the rules. Smart. Real smart. Does no one at WoTC or Hasbro have any common sense? Pirating will still...

For a time, a few of my players used to really agonize over the thought of going a turn and not doing "something". They're a little more relaxed now, but a few still have issues with not being able to attack every round. It kills them to just do a double move if they can't get into position to...

This!

Thankfully my players don't try to optimize/maximize every aspect of their characters. Gasp. They actually sometimes use the racial bonuses to shore up a low score!

I like this idea. Perhaps retain a +2 in the primary ability that each race is associated with, and then allow the other +2 to go on one of 2 or 3 other choices, specific to each race. I could also see a string of Background bonuses that allow some races to swap out ability score bonuses based...

Yeah, I'd bet those roles are pretty accurate. Also, its interesting to see them must go with a totally new power source to avoid confusion down the road. Although I'm sure we'll get some kind of Assassin from WotC eventually. I'm glad that Goodman is sticking to the name Assassin, and not...

You know, I read those when I was in high school and for some reason I really loved them. Went back and re-read them a few years ago...and yeah, they really seemed like crap. Didn't hold up well over time at all. Interesting concept though!

I've done it both ways, detailing a world before-hand, and doing it on the fly. Either way works for me, but I guess it depends on what your overall goal is. I would think that if you had some pretty grand storylines in mind, with definate "adventure path" style games, you'd probably want to...

The sword slices through your abdomen, you clutch desperately at your gut, struggling to hold your entrails in... But its okay. After six hours of rest you're good as new. :D

See...I'm not eating anything that someone else has had their fingers all over!

I do think boobs on Dragonborn are silly, but I could care less. As to how you tell the difference in genders without boobs...slender waist, larger hips, more delicate features in the face, and shorter head crests. Maybe even duller scale colors. And sometimes a little confusion as to the...
