[QUOTE="Bleoberis De Ganis, post: 4675597, member: 77687"] Everyone hated TSR. Well done WOTC for not learning by their mistakes. 3E and 3.5E (I'm not going to start on that oldy) made them lots and lots of money even though it was pirated to death and had an OGL. [COLOR="Red"][B]~ don't try to use fancy characters to get around profanity filters please - PS~[/B][/COLOR] Where is TSR now. It is a bad sign for WOTC. When a company gets greedy, or because of bad accounting and management need greater and greater profits in order to balance the books, even if they are in reality making good profits but not enough to keep up, they start clamping down on everything like locusts swarming and destroying their food source in the process. D&D is a hobby. A hobby thrives on getting your hands dirty making stuff. How can you make stuff for D&D without putting copyrighted material in it? Who is going to download a bunch of powercards for the sake of stealing the rules? It is as stupid as taking a DMs books back off him because he showed them to the players. If WOTC want people to buy their power cards rather than have people download a set, print them out on a printer and then glue them to some card, then make the power cards well. Dumb. To be fair, from what I remember the power cards on this site were covered in official copyrighted logos, which you can't really blame them for wanting them removed. [/QUOTE]
