3000+ Spells Compiled into one book

[pyrate]

Hi Folks,

I found a great new document on the web, a spellbook compiling spells of about 70 WotC books (D&D Core + Eberron + Faerûn) into one great spellbook, plus summoning tables with added templates, extended pantheons, and lots more of cool stuff.

sorry, link has been removed, due to a probable copyright violation

Spidey senses tingling...

Four posts in two years, and only one thread started - probably not a bot, but one of the mods could potentially not care for the content. Hmm... well, I'm running a Linux box, so it's really, really unlikely for me to catch any particular trojans....

And it appears to not be a tainted file, interestingly enough. Not sure where it stands on the boundary between "copyright violation" for using the full names and chunks of text, and "fair use" as referencing the original sources and being an index of multiple sources, though.

Okay, I'll bite:

1) It's amazing. Stunning amount of work here. This isn't just a scan or a compilation of WotC PDFs, it's all the spells, typed in a new compact format. It's the holy grail of "what I did with my summer vacation" D&D OCD. (Note: don't really tell anyone what you did with your summer vacation, or you'll be stuck doing the same sort of thing with your next summer vacation).

3) There are better places to host derivative works like this.

2) It's completely against the rules here. I'd give you rep for the balls it took, but you won't be here tomorrow. I'm deleting it now as we speak, honestly. No really, honest.

Thank you, but I am not the author, I was just told about this link and I am just posting it here.

One of you guys wrote something about fair use and copyright violation, so I checked a bit of copyright law and I think it should be okay. I am not a pro in american copyright laws, though there shouldn't be violations with most european ones (and probably not with american as well), because everything quoted in this file has a book/page reference.

Well, the thing is, you're not supposed to give out huge quantities of information...

 

[pyrate]

Right, but this is only true (in most european copyright laws) for books that are still printed, and the 3.5-ones aren't printed anymore... thought probably american copyright is relevant in this case?

 

[Dandu]

Yes, probably. Would advise you apologize and remove link immediately.
