yes, you do. it gives credit where credit is due, rather than stealing the copyrighted images of other people. Frank jsut does a "copy image location" from google where he searches the web for the image and pastes mountains of shit into the TGD database to be able to display the image as a mime-type base-64 encoded image.Previn wrote:You don't hotlink images. It steals bandwidth.
his post is claiming those are HIS images, rather than the site he took them from that he found on google, as well as just helping make the tables in TGD bigger. so everyone wants to start paying to use TGD or have ads all over the place or see it shut down when F has to pay for more storage space because Frank can't use a fucking 30 character URL, but instead uses 3000 characters to store the 16k images in the post itself?
Zherog actually needs to disable those mine-types from displaying under the IMG tag.
you claim you don't know what you will get with a link, well then only hotlink images that allow you to do so like from botophucket or tinypic or something. then you know what the bandwidth limit image will look like.
also... Frank is stealing google's code while he is at it. those compressed image "links" he is using as a mime-type are encoded BY google and is THEIR property.
copyright infringement on the images themselves, code theft....
yeah.. hotlink from places that allow it and want the traffic back to them.
of course, if you can host it yourself then you do that. Frank could have taken a picture of the books, posted to a botophucket account, and just grabbed the link it gave.

hard to read in the preview section so if i copy/paste something wrong order, well i will jsut respond to whatever i paste from below it...
Core Rules is the software. the name was taken from popular use to mean PHB, DMG, MM. A&E didnt really do anything except expand the equipment back to 1e levels, and "Tome of Magic" just gave a bunch of spells and stuff like 1E. those were the 1e equivalent of caster and non-caster books to upgrade your character beyond the PHB.Your list of of 'core books' for 2nd edition is really surprising, actually. It is certainly a larger list than anything I've ever seen before.
the rest is what WotC added to the software.
MY list would only be PHB, DMG, MM as core rules, but do accept A&E guide into that as it is innocuous for the most part. obviously discard firearms and blackpowder ANYWHERE you dont want it in your game, from the PHB included.
1st never really had class groups. it just had a bunch of classes, and some followed XP tables of one or class abilities form another, etc.ToM wrote:The Tome of Magic is written with both the DM and player in mind. Dungeon Masters who keep this book out the hands of their players are doing their game a disservice. Likewise, players who want this book only to learn about the new magical items are missing the point. Both player and DM can use this book to improve and expand the game.

the assassin used thief tables, but wasnt a thief in 1e.
cant get to my 1e books right now because a shelf blocks them, but will double check how it is broken down, but in 1e and BD&D it is the same, either loose groups or just individual classes (mage and illusionist are 2 classes not one wizard class)
