Well here is a question I have for you: What do you want? What made you decide to take this path? You keep telling us what you don't want to do, but not what you want to do. You could have simply gone after 'Jim's Army Builder' if you wanted to show that you defend your patent. You could...

Alright, Looking at your Word Mark, I don't see anything from the USPTO that says they made any ruling on whether or not your mark is descriptive. And since its been around for 5 years, it can not be ATTACKED simply for being descriptive. Meaning that your mark can not be invalidated (taken...

While I completely disagree with your point that it is NOT descriptive, would someone explain to me how your trade mark for "Army Builder" extends to "army building?" And while your Trade Mark may be incontestable on the grounds that it is descriptive, that does not prevent fair use of a...

They have already posted a follow-up on the front page... while the brash outburst by CapnZapp was certainly uncalled for, I don't think another followup front page news story should be needed as no major shifts have happened since the last one.

I would really like to go, but I'm not sure if it will be in the cards for me this year. I may need to settle for GenCon alone. :(

The DM really has to believe in the system and world he's presenting. While everyone at the table is responsible for the fun of the game, if the DM isn't enjoying it, then the whole game is rot. Plus the DM is usually the one who spends the most time on a campaign. When not playing, they have...

I'm mostly satisfied with the results of this thread. While I still think Army Builder is a rather generic name, I don't think its a bad name for the product, which as I said before, I think gives it a bit of charm. Simple and to the point. Maybe they shouldn't have gotten the TM on it, maybe...

Army building is not the same as Army Builder, my understanding is that trade marks are very specific exact phrases, not any variation of common words.

YouTube - Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition: Teaser And here are more adults in D&D advertisement.

YouTube - Beholder Commercial That is a commercial (and relatively recent) that seems to have a lot of adults in it. Does D&D market to kids? Sure. But it also markets to adults, and I expect that the majority of players are college age or older. Marketing to the younger crowd, though, is...

There is a big difference between what a product would rate as appropriate for and who their target audience would be. A video game, for example, doesn't have to earn an AO from the ESRB to be meant for adults, and other movies besides porn are certainly intended for older audiences. Ratings...

lonewolfdevel , I find your tactics and community engagement distasteful and I wish you no success with them. Both with this issue and our previous issues together, you really need to work on your public relations techniques or at least get some one else to do them for you. And that opinion...

Oh, I am rather envious by all the toys you guys get with DDI. Pathfinder has some neat ones themselves (Pathfinder SRD (Pathfinder_OGC), PCGen, Etc...) But even I'll agree that 4e is MUCH easier to prep a session for.

Just be aware of its DRM before you purchase it.

I'll gladly play in a 4e game that someone else runs. Having a good GM / players / group to play with is much more important to me than the system we are running. However, I will not likely run 4e any time soon. I prefer to run Pathfinder. Fits my style better. I think the GM should be...

This is absolutely rediculous. This and their rather cavaleer stance on their absurdly restrictive DRM software completely put me off. This company may make some decent software, but it isn't worth doing business with them. And Army Builder? They made their own mistake when they trade marked...

Things I'm still mad about: 1) 4e's GSL mess. Yes, I would have prefered that they would have kept the OGL going, but even so, the wreck with the release of the GSL and its delays hurt more than just NOT having an OGL would have. 2) The PDFs. Their logic regarding the PDFs of their...

My player's prefer to roll, so that is what I let them do. Myself? I prefer point-based.

I think they should combine the lines again, two separate lines wasn't a good idea for the health of the product. Honestly, I think they may go a counters rout to things, like they did with the most recent 'Basic Set.' If they made paper stand-up minis out of the material they make Dungeon...

Well, One thing to keep in mind is that AoO is also how Pathfinder/3e/3.5 handled the 'stickiness' of Melee characters. So you may want to think of how you're going to handle that. It becomes a lot harder for the Fighter to protect the back ranks when there is no penalty for just moving...
