As I mentioned recently in the private publisher forms over on RPGnow, the only real way to stop pirates is with a low-tech solution. DRM, passwords, and watermarks are NOT the answer. The only thing that will work is people (agents, snoops, narks, whatever you want to call them) who troll...

Surprisingly, I tend to agree with you. I think copyright laws tend to inhibit creativity. However, I still think downloading something without paying for it is wrong. Fair enough. Maybe my analogy was a little off. Sure, I can agree with that, I would just refer you to Simon's post above...

Could be, but if you spend too much time thinking about stuff like that, you'll go crazy :)

Yes, I would find that VERY wrong (and I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened, since I live here in TN). However. that question is treading dangerously close to politics and kholbergs theory, so I'll stop here. I'm not saying that you should obey copyright laws because that's...

See, these are justification strategies. You seem to be taking the profit margin and the wealth of the producer into account before you decide if its wrong or not. (though the Van Helsing movie doesn't seem to fit... I'd be curious to know why you think it would be more wrong to download a free...

Hmm… I see what you are saying, but I don’t completely agree. Driving faster than the posted speed limit is wrong and dangerous. However, I’ll agree that most people don’t see it as dangerous. I still maintain that people will do things that they know are wrong, if they think they can get away...

AS others have said, the impact on actual sales are probably minimal for big companies, but smaller companies feel it a lot more. It is for me, personally. I really HATE thieves. I mean, really, really HATE. Taking something without paying for it, or worse still, taking something and...

I tried it once a long time ago... It went alright, but it wasn't something we kept doing. We only did it because the party was split up on different planes, once they got back together, we went back to 1 DM.

"A couple of weeks''' meh.... Didn't take 'em that long to RAISE prices.

I use the fractal mapper, and MS word :)

The coolest thing I've ever put in a mage's tower was a tesseract. I've also used mazes with shifting walls. The walls shifted according to a complex algorithm. characters with a high Int. could make checks to figure it out.

Maybe there is some sort of weird radiation that has turned the people of Glass Hill into mutants and genetic disasters. maybe Glass Hill was looted and pillaged a few years ago, leaving the population decimated and horror stricken. Maybe they don't have good soil, so their crops are...

We've got some stations around here (middle TN) that are out now, too.

I can't remeber the whole combo, but it went something like this: 18 Charisma 1 level in bard 1 level in cleric 1 level in paladin ?? levels in monk until you can take monk or ninja prestige classes that also have monk-like saving thows (+2, +2, +2 at 1st level) Add evasion and mettle from...

One indicator of the health of the industry is the attendance at Gen Con and other conventions. I haven't heard any reports about the recent Gen Con, but I know last year or the year before, attendance was very high. Does anyone have any hard numbers on attendance this year Vs last year and...

I agree that it is a little of both. I used to hate art class when I was a kid because I couldn't draw well. Then I started gaming when I was 10. I really wanted to draw my characters, so I tried, but my drawings sucked. But I didn't care, I kept at it, and started paying attention in art class...

I like pizza with a lot of cheese and some kind of meat. Ham, sausage or pepperoni, usually. I don't really care for meat-lover's pizzas though, they usually have too much meat on them, making them big greasy messes. Dominos just started selling a pizza with steak toppings.... hmmm... getting...

I haven't noticed since the hurricane hit, but a few days ago it was about $2.25, I think. I might go out later today, if I do I'll be sure to check the prices.

I sometimes use names from maps. Some of my favorites are: Hell's Kitchen Grave's End Leaper's fork Driftwood Skull Bone (here in TN, actually) I also like to mix and match names and words to come up with my own colorful names such as the Hammer Downs River Wall Wyvern Dale the Troll...

As a player they freak me out pretty bad, because I know what a lot of them can do, and because i think undead should scare most people. We played a game about a year ago where there was rumors of a ghost in the swamp. NPCs kept hinting and urging us to look for money in the swamp, but I...
