The Gaming Den

Wasn't me you had that discussion with, at least I do not recall any such thread Unless it was related to Great Dragons, IEs and the military. Sample Custom Spell. Shield Combining the best qualities of Deflection and Physical Barrier this Spell creates a field that re-routes incident energy away f...

I've given the crunch a quick skim and while there appear to be some things that are quite nice there does seem to be a lot of stuff that betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of how the rules system works and some stuff that just leaves me standing jaw agape at the sheer lunacy of it. I seem ...

Actually, it's just the Grease spell -- if you don't move within the grease, you're not flat-footed.

So long as you stand perfectly still you are not flat footed and a Rogue can't sneak attack you?

Ummm....

Hey, let's look at more than that site than just the first hit on Google for "mounted police", hm? Looking at duties , it seems that they're used as much for PR situations like school visits and ceremonial duties as much as policing, and that the mounted branch is chiefly known for a hors...

Hey Knasser, did you get a chance to watch the recent Martin Clunes show on horses? There was a bit where he visited the horse training school for the Met I think. He participated as a 'rioter' in some of the desensitization training they gave the horses. I think he managed to convey quite well just...

someone referenced this thread from Dumpshock where I've taken a leave of absence. I found the mendacity and slathering obsequiousness that had broiled up over there since Frank broke this story becoming too much. I washed my hands of it and walked away Oh thank Dawkins, it's not just me. Frankly t...

How can I be full of shit when I haven't made any claims? Except perhaps claiming that without solid incontrovertible first hand proof of what actually happened no reliable conclusions of any sort can ever be drawn. If that bullshit were true we'd still be living in the dark ages. Scientific method...

And 90% of those are you telling us that the Emperor is actually fully clothed because we weren't there and don't know what really happened.

No, not really, I did a little playtesting for them last year. I think I might have a credit in DoTA and Running Wild. I'm nobody really. All my contact with CGL was through Jen though. Any contact I've had with Jason has been on DS. I've always felt that one of the best ways to earn credibility on-...

Sometimes I feel bad for Jason and how much he gets dumped on here. Cutting Bobby loose when he did because Jason's nose was out of joint was a huge mistake from a pragmatic fiscal point of view. Four or five pieces of work had to be re-written at the last minute or pulled from sale. Money that CGL...

4. For 15 years, Bills thought that authors had the right to withhold copyright when there was a dispute. But after speaking to three different lawyers and independently researching the issue he discovered that a freelancer, when signing a work-for-hire contract (depending on wording), cannot withh...

AFAIK you can include BSD code in derivative works with nothing other than attribution. You are free to re-licence it in any way you see fit so long as you provide attribution. In practice I think BSD code is rarely given proper attribution. I haven't taken the time to read it but I think the CC Att...

Yeah, but even the BSD license, when you use it and distribute it, it is still licensed under the BSD license. You haven't added terms to its distribution -- you can't change its license. AFAIK this is factually completely incorrect. Windows for example contains significant amounts of BSD code and ...

At least one might well do.

There are several of them designed to cover almost every eventuality.

I presume at least one of them might be BSD-like in that regard.

edit

At first glance Attribution seems to fit the bill.

I was toying with another idea in this vein recently where creating magic items and such did not cost 'x' gold pieces but actually consumed 'x' gold pieces worth of gold.

What sort of impact would the permanent destruction of such an important finite resource have on these sort of economies?

I enjoyed the OP, I'm not sure I agree with all of it but then it deserves more than just a cursory read through before drawing conclusions. I have of late been considering what sort of economic impact free labour might have on a LE society. I had in mind designing a penal system where capital crime...

She does indeed have a writing credit for Unwired. I was under the impression it was for the fluff piece that your OP quotes the rules breakdown for. I could be wrong but she wrote the fiction at the start of one chapter and she and Aaron ran the scenario through using the actual RAW. I think she ne...

[sets himself up for a good kicking] While I agree with most of the above, I'm not sure it's fair to blame Jen' for the state of the Matrix rules. From the arguments I've had with Aaron I got the impression that he had been involved with the design aspect of The Matrix for quite some time but I don'...

10, 9, 8....

Countdown till some Troll spits all over Jen's reputation for having the audacity to tell the truth about her situation in public.

Monetization is converting a thought or one's labor into . . . money. I've always gotten the impression that their is an underlying implication that it involves endeavouring to make a profit from something that has little or no intrinsic worth or that profiting from would be morally questionable. P...

Nothing.

It's a word that SCO used extensively in their attempt to profit from the work of the Linux community when their own skills were insufficient to create something people were willing to pay for.

hoping to monetize through a new licensee Please don't use that word. It disturbs me just how much this incident is starting to remind me of the SCO debacle. I'm not one for religious intolerance, at least not directed at any particular religion more than any other, but the mormons sure manage to m...

Interestingly, Kid Chameleon has blamed the previous lawyer for the irregularities with the corporate paperwork over on Dumpshock.

Hard to tell if that is true, KC did compile the 'draws' graph but he's backing Loren now.

The fact is, Loren can't have paid his taxes properly, because he hasn't been tracking his income properly and he hasn't been giving the same set of numbers to any two people in the situation you care to name. -Username17 Was he ever a Taxi driver by any chance? ??
