Absolutely mind-blowing.TSR's owners circa 1990 had about as much credibility as Pinocchio at Liar's Dice. It wouldn't have shocked me at the time if they had forged said files just to prove their point. They filled their legal complaint with outrageous claims, were openly hostile to fans, and ran the company into the ground with pet projects and blind alleys of marketing. (I still remember the "official derivative content" ftp server. Yeesh that was ludicrous.) It still amazes me how well they had people fooled into thinking they were doing a good job for so long.Back to the court filing a second -- I just now realized that in (7) they claim ownership of "vocations" because God forbid no one had a vocation before D&D came along; in (32) they basically claim copyright on Rolling Dice to determine resolving things; in (33) they claim copyright on random damage; and in (35) as my personal favorite, they claim COPYRIGHT ON the concept of TIME HEALING INJURIES. Someone alert doctors and physical therapists everywhere! Or wait, were doctors derivative of Clerics in the PHB? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
