    Gygax Memorial Update: GenCon Schedule

    Hi All, I talked to Gail Gygax a few weeks back and I have some news regarding the Gygax Memorial. First of all, the current plans for the Memorial Site are in a bit of flux. It doesn't look like Gary's memorial will be put in the Library Park, as the Lake Geneva Board does not appear to want...

    People who read games but don't play...are there more than me...

    Hello, I was curious about something. I've been a fan of the RPG since I was 10 years old. However, after a few times trying to game, I didn't care for the experience and mostly stuck with reading and (occasionally) writing for games. I found that I enjoyed how they stimulated my...

    Honoring, Respecting, and Quoting Gary--Some Concerns (let's make sure we are honest)

    One of the things that has concerned me of late is how EGG has been quoted, or how people have used the term "honoring Gary", and some of these bits concern me. I'm going to use an analogy--forgive me if it seems a little over the top. Imagine if you knew a famous figure. Imagine if you...

    The Stupidest Lawsuit Ever...against WoTC and Gary Gygax

    With a lot of legal talk about lawsuits, IP, etc., and with the research I did recently on PACER, I figured I should let you guys read the outright most stupid lawsuit ever. Attached is a ZIP file of the lawsuit. Basically this guy wanted a restraining order against WoTC and Gary Gygax (after...

    PDFS--Of the WotC Court Case

    Okay, All of you are curious of the Lawsuit. Here are the public records of the existing lawsuits. The ZIP files are each separate suits. The Letter Codes are the initials of the judges. These are public records so there is no law or secret violations of me posting these. Seems a...

    Old School TSR Card for you to review

    Well, with today being Thanksgiving, I decided to share a scan of something. I posted this to Gygax Games but I figured a lot more people would love to see it, so ENWorld it is. :-) Last year, after sending an electronic card I found on YouTube to a bunch of my friends, Gary sent me back this...

    EGG Would Have been 70 this weekend...

    Meta about Meta--Rename this Forum

    Spammers have figured out how to spam by looking at forum categories and using common names of forums with their auto-sign-up scripts. Most of the names of the forums are not targetted of spammers here, but I'll bet a forum named Meta gets spammed a lot. I've seen this happen in other forums...

    Tribute and Attribution Question

    Can somebody who has the print books already post what they wrote about Gary Gygax--the tribute at the beginning? Also, does the book have a statement that's the rules are derived from the original game by Gygax and Arneson, like what's included in all the core books and even the OGL SRD blurb...

    Request: Keep GSL-related discussions here / merged with Should OGL subjects that...

    Should OGL subjects be allowed in General/4e sections A lot of people have noticed that the OGL forum seems to get less traffic or interest, and posts discussing the new GSL and OGL have been put in these forums. I'm posting a poll to take a vote and see if these subjects should be seperated...

    The New GSL--What we want.

    I'm writing this in the hopes that some of the creators of 4e are listening. (I would also ask it not be moved to OGL-F since this affects 4e and I've found more people read this forum, and the license for 4e hasn't been seen yet). The GSL is the new license. We know this is happening. We...

    Possible Rules Patent?

    This sort of affects 4e. Considering all the changes to the background, and the limitations of the OGL this time around, and considering there are several mechanics changes... Does anybody get the sense that to prevent reverse-engineering, Wizards might try (or even already applied) for a...

    So, where's Ryan's opinion?

    Out of curiosity, since Ryan Dancey was key in establishing the OGL, and was part of the advocate for it's philosophy--I would assume we'd have heard from him by now, considering how important this announcement is. Anybody hear anything elsewhere?

    D&D 4E 4e and Product Identity

    I was wondering something. During the time that the OGL was being created, the Gentleman's Agreement allowed stats for all monsters. But when the final product was released, some select creatures that Wizards considered specific to the D&D game--Beholders, Yuan-Ti, Mind Flayers, etc, were not...

    Boy is THIS embarassing

    http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=4134&mode=thread&order=0 Okay, this has been up since around noon-time EST, which states that Monte Cook has updated his site. Site hasn't been updated as of 6 PM EST. I always thought gaming report reported news after it happens, but it turns out...

    Forget Monte's Project, what ELSE is coming out?

    Okay, If there's a catalog entry for October, there have to be ones for the rest of the year. Whoever has the catalog, spill it. What other major products are coming out from Wizards of The Coast?
