I just finished reading a beat up first printing of Poul Anderson's 1961 novel Three Hearts and Three Lions. I purchased this several years ago, as part of an effort to read more of D&D's famous Appendix N. What ended up happening is that I instead started reading more nonfiction about D&D in...

Appendix N: The Literary History of Dungeons & Dragons.

I've read Jeffro's book. At his best, he has an infectious enthusiasm and some very engaging insights, but when he's wrong he's very, very wrong, and rather off-putting in the process.

So I've been told that the Switch release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection has some performance/frame rate issues. But I've also seen some things to suggest that this either got a patch or wasn't as bad as has been said (i.e. that the game can still be enjoyed at 30 FPS). Anyone have any...

No, no judgment came from a judge. The "countersuit" was a request for a declaratory judgment, and nothing on that page says they got it, since as I told you before the court declared that they (the court) lacked subject matter jurisdiction. No judgment was made. No, no ruling was made. Go read...

That's in no way relevant, as the plaintiff alleged trademark infringement, unfair competition, and civil conspiracy. The hypothetical is an issue of copyright infringement due to publishing under content that was alleged to have been withdrawn. Moreover, the court declared (for most of those...

No, it doesn't. Hence why that term isn't used. Which says nothing about the publisher withdrawing it at a later date. That's for a judge to decide, is the point. The "reality of the language" is what a judge says it is. More importantly, until such a judicial declaration is made, you're not...

Again, that doesn't speak to "withdraw" as a concept.

What happened to you being done with this? Clearly. Because if WotC makes a statement about "withdrawing" the 5.1 SRD from the CC as of X date (i.e. they'll file suit against anyone who publishes under it after that date), and some publisher does then publish after that date, and WotC follows...

Oh, the irony. Thanks for such substantive and well thought-out contributions. :P

Right, because they publish so much 5.1 SRD material via the CC. :rolleyes:

This nonsense again? Yeah, no. It's funny how people seem to think that there's some magic way the "biggest software companies" can just make something they don't like end, despite not having standing to participate in a case as per what was outlined.

A miserable little pile of secret identities.

I saw the part that said: But with Chris Cao also stepping away, and Mike Mearls having left not too long ago, it really feels like there's something larger going on. Maybe it's all just a coincidence, or maybe the explanation is entirely benign, but I can't help but be suspicious.

I'm not certain what it is, but clearly something is going on for so many high-level people to be leaving all at once.

It's all elemental earth monsters.

Wait, so this is a book of NPCs? o_O (j/k)

Crossbows and Catapults! Love that game. ...or was this supposed to be only for video games?

Just out of curiosity, what do the 2024 rules say with regard to characters crafting their own magic items?

A friend of mine just assured me that Japanese curry is a different beast from Indian curry. I think he's right, but it's been over twenty years since I've had Japanese curry; now I need to find a local Asian market to confirm what I've been told.
