The real one, not some poseur.

I can see that some grammar school level education was missed by you.

-oid
Resemblance to, joined properly to words formed from g. Roots; equivalent to eng. -form.
Origin: g. Eidos, form, resemblance


As you can see by the definition, kaskoid means you are simply a poor copy of myself...

Kaskoid is the usual screen name of Tim Kask on other forums.

To be honest, Tim Kask is a known old school guy who was with Gary, Dave, and the others at TSR. I think he's legitimately concerned your name of Kask might be convincing people that you're him, after that question was asked.

This might be an overreaction by Mr. Kask. But I can understand the point--If somebody was named "Gygax" and wasn't Gygax, I think people could understand.

If you insist on keeping the name (especially if it's your real name), you probably should consider a disclaimer in your signature.

I don't think so.

I've used this as a nick since '77. I've been gaming since then and have never heard of this guy, I don't think he has anything to worry about...

Funny, I just checked your profile. 1st post, new. Umm, do you run around forums randomly trying to claim exclusive rights to the word "kask"?

Well, instead of insulting him back (even if you perceive his statement as an attack, and I will admit it was sort of rude), you should consider his concern, like I said.

I am in agreement that your pseudonym Kask is not Tim Kask and is doubt to cause confusion, but I think you can understand that type of concern. After all, it would be nicer if we had more old-schoolers participate on forums, considering all the death going on in the industry.

Correct.

but I think you can understand that type of concern.

Following the logic of the 1st point, no, his concern doesn't make sense.

Correct, so why do you want to harass an "old schooler" (myself)?

I'm not harrasing you at all--I was just suggesting that you not to engage in personal attacks, even if it was done to you first--as well as making sure you understood what he was trying to achieve. (And by Old Schooler, I mean famous publishers from the TSR days, not the players).

Please do not continue confrontation on the matter in-thread.

This is way off topic. If you wish to communicate, PM me.

He also works for White Wolf, which is basically D&D's biggest competitor for largest tabletop game franchise. Anything negative Dancey says about D&D can only benefit his company. He's certainly not losing anything by convincing people that OMG DND IS DYING LOL

So where's the Exalted SRD? What type of license does the Exalted OGL come with?
