Finished rereading Elaine Cunninghams Counsellors and Mings trilogy. I enjoyed the books, and nice to be back in the Realms, but found the pacing a bit off at times, making it a slow read. I think mainly due to number of POVs and interweaving plot threads, im more used these days to books...

And further sorry is looking at below link, witg history of some form of IP type protection. https://www.euipo.europa.eu/en/news/ip-from-the-ancient-to-the-modern-age

Mainly looking at below link, which i know is Wikipedia but I dont have access to much of the sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law_copyright

When I went down rabbit hole looking into copyright laws, and some tangent about a battle potentially fought over who owned a document as such, there was suggestion that prior to Statute of Anne there was a common law copyright that was perpetual, but the Statute and other similar copyright law...

Not quite sure why I get invested in going into the detail/ workings of TV shows / books that I plan to never watch / read.

I think i read somewhere that they aren't going to do annual series, but could be spaced out like others. But if they can film the series annually at least would prevent issues around aging etc.

I think there are two competing moral imperatives myself- the moral imperative for knowledge etc to be shared to the wider public, and the moral imperative for a creator to be compensated for their work. With the nature of our economic set up, giving them a monopoly period to be able to control...

I find all this conversation quite a fascinating look at 1e, and make me glad my journey due to availability was Basic to 2e.

Due to how young I was when encountered star wars and Black Hole, for a long time I thought the Black Hole was some sort of adventure with R2D2 and C3PO, I probably only in last decade when wanting to find it again realized completely different stories :)

Main ones for me Doctor Who Tolkein Star Wars Fighting Fantasy

I believe from memory that electronic devices dont work in Hogwarts, due to the ambient magical levels. Steam trains still work though, so some level of gun in theory would work, but like you say less prevalent in UK.

Yeah, I just hope they take care in terms of how the whole show / cast are portrayed. The book and movies were quite non diverse, and it wouldn't look that great if the new Snape is one of very few POC, but is the one bullied by James and Co, or the one POC teacher in faculty, and the one Harry...

I read a chunk of the prequels and the couple of sequels. Overall, I found the House ones (immediate prequels) enjoyable, not at level of Frank Herberts dune books, but nice look into earlier years of characters from the first Dune book (including delving further into the Emperor and Fenring...

Can the latest Discworld TTRPG be added?

I think largely unavailable for creators to not be influenced in anything they create, with some rare exceptions. But generally when looking for example at doing a painting, and working out what to put in the corner, they are thinking what do I think will go well there, and yes that will be...

I was copying the original language. Ultimately, either every decision someone makes in terms of what they support or don't, what they allow to be sold on their marketplace or not is cramming their ethics and morals on other people, or it is people applying their ethics as they see fit. The...

You can do what you want, use AI if you want. I am free to think less of you for doing so. Foundry and the like are free to ban AI content on their marketplace as well, as is their marketplace, without others cramming their morals and ethics down Foundrys throats.

So your argument you're making is that your prediction years ago about potential bans wasnt about hurting small publishers that were active at the time, but small publishers that were either going to enter the market or change their publishing to make use of AI and scale up? And so your...

Definitely interested in seeing in how it is going to finish, and if it is the conclusion to film series, how it will tie things off. I wonder if they will have Paul take on Letos fate, rather than Leto having to take it on, which in the book Paul was a bit too human with all the associated...

Yeah, I think im in similar boat. I think applying it to existing work / games can cause issues, with characters looking different pre and post , with some looking like completely different people which could be disconcerting. However, the general quality does look better, and so I think for new...
