I'm very glad that your AM line is selling well, as I think the quality level is very high, and I enjoy mining them for plot hooks. That said, I really love the d20 stuff that I have of Atlas (the Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary & Dynasties and Demigouges, and I'm saving my pennies for Crime...

Both of our statements are out, so I will not follow this into another semantic ring. The great majority of business concepts do have making money in there somewhere, or at the very least not losing money Quite the opposite, really, I theorize that the are limited resources that can be...

Since you wish to nitpick, it does not say marriage at all, but "Civil Union". (There are a couple of analogies in your response, that if followed, may trigger the wrath of Eric's grandma.) The dangers of nitpicking, as I see them here, are: 1) Such nitpicking distracts from the central topic...

Actually, it's free product. If you mean advertising in the sense of "more people know about it", yes, but as advertising is generally intended to increase sales, this is un-advertising, as it is removing potential customers from the market. I don't know if I would go for this, either. If...

Seconded, even if it means farming the license out as has been done with Ravenloft, & Dragonlance. hmmmmm... might this count as Ravenoft? Seconded and thirded. Geez, they could even put Hasbro's name on it!

No kidding. I know of the one I go to in Corpus Christi, and when I went down to McAllen it seemed like there was one in the phone book, but I didn't have a chance to hunt for it. So you could sell to three-eyed people, or ones who were really good at swimming? Harry

To all who might be interested (and thanks, Joshua, for letting me know these were out there, check out blackmask.com for many (all?) of Sabatini's books: http://www.blackmask.com/page.php?do=page&cat_id=24 Harry

That is a good question, and the scenario is interesting enough to consider, keeping in mind that judging reactions would be entirely guesswork ... I would guess that if any adjustment were to be made, it would be a recognition and fuller explanation of what the community standards are seen to...

How is this hypocritical? If there are consequences, WotC and D&D are the ones that lose out, so if anyone is going to test the line, it should be those whose IP's value is being (to whatever degree) is being put at risk.

WotC, as the ones who own the D&D system, and have the largest economic stake in the present and future viability of D&D have brought D&D in line with their other licenced properties. This does not mean that WotC has reservations about material "outside the lines", per se, but that since...

Maerdwyn, You did an excellent job! If anyone would *really* like to get this stuck in their head, may I recommend: http://math.boisestate.edu/gas/pirates/html/p13.html

Operetta, please, "show tune" just hurts me ... Oh yeah, Arrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that I saw in a Dave Barry column earlier this month than there is a "Talk Like A Pirate Day" in early September. If my wife hasn't thrown it out yet, I'll check and see.

Dang! You beat me to this one. Did Sabatini write The Black Swan.? I've only been able to find Captain Blood and Scaramouche . Harry

No, my question is "Why were you surprised?". You skipped 2/3 of the replies (at least as it appears in my setup); it was not that I think you should apologize for posting the WotC form letter, but if you wish to apologize for your own ... Did you really think that you were the only one to...

Your post is the 478th on this topic, on this thread. A number of people have already reported and transcribed the response that you received. This response is a *form letter*. Many, many people have emailed WotC with questions about their new policy; their choices were to have the legal...

I greatly enjoyed today's, as usual. The primary enjoyment from my point of view was to see the Captain drift into a reunion (I hope) with MF, especially since it is the result of Mossfoot's action. Watching the farce unfold heightens the tension of the strip, making the eventual release of...

Huzzah! It must be mine!

What a lot of people seem to be missing is that a product cannot portray a real world group as being *intrinsically* inferior, not as being in an inferior position of power. To take a case from American history: A d20 Modern campaign set in the antebellum South would show African-Americans in...

Yeah, and you could really cash in by going daily ... :D I knw, I know ... but I can dream ...
