D&D General Trademarking "THE WORLD’S GREATEST ROLEPLAYING GAME™"

[GMforPowergamers]

Well, there was that whole affair with "The Book of Erotic Fantasy", though I don't think it went to court so much as got yanked after a fashion.

IIRC, they changed the OGL to exclude them and they quietly walked away.

and that is too bad... becuse hidden in that rough there are some diamonds...

the grope cantrip has a bad name, but it is what the arcane trickster gets now for mage hand
kiss of life has been my preferred res spell for years.
the IDEA of the pregnancy rules and spells to help censive and help block conception are brilliant for world building.

I bought the book because I was being immature... the stuff I still have in my games almost 20 years later aren't though.

They changed the d20 STL, not the OGL.

Other than NuTSR has WotC ever actually gone legal at anybody over D&D?

Other than the WotC commandos that break into your home when you don't use the rules right? No, not that I can recall.

They are not litigious towards the community.

Honestly, I never would have believed that we would see this kinder, gentler Hasbro back in 2000. On the other hand, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they sit down each new generation of executives and explain the OGL and the history of Pathfinder/4e to them. ::blinkyguy.gif::
