[QUOTE="PapersAndPaychecks, post: 4036411, member: 28854"] Your date is wrong, but I accept that you don't care. ;) Yeah--the Slaadi and the Death Knight were Stross' original creation, as far as I can tell. The Githyanki were a science fiction author's work yoinked into D&D. Same with the Displacer Beast (ripped off A.E.Van Vogt's Coeurl). Whatever Stross' role, my point is that they're someone else's work now claimed as WOTC "Intellectual Property" without credit or recompense. I find that highly relevant to the Gleemax terms of use. Good Lord, yet another sentence in the emphatic declarative whose only apparent purpose is to dismiss differing opinions. I do think this thread would be better without them. [/QUOTE]
