Re: Traven
I liked the way how made the weaknesses of Wizards of High Sorcery central to your narrative. For people that do not know, the "standard" Wizard of High Sorcery (with the WoHS prestige class) has three prohibited magic schools out of the 8 schools of magic. This makes an average WoHS someo...

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
A good result at the end. 6E will have more onerous terms but that is okay, because WotC is not changing the rules mid game.

Re: Arcael
It's implied by the levels in Knight of the Thorn but not specifically stated under the Statistics header that Arcael is a specialist diviner via the KotT class feature, in addition to a specialist enchanter. KotT is the only way I know of to be fully considered a specialist without gaining prohibit...

Re: Arcael
I'm glad to see more Dragonlance characters, especially since the most famous one, Vlad Drakov, seems to have been "de-dragonlanced".

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
So, by reading, you still retain ownership of your content. WotC gets an unlimited, perpetual and irrevocable right to your IP and you may not designate product identity. Furthermore, WotC retains this right after termination of the agreement, but you are still bound by it's obligations. I'm not su...

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
Like being able to cancel content for not meeting WotC's standards of decency. Which sounds problematic until you consider that people publishing offensive content as "D&D compatible" won't be seen as a 3PP by the media if it starts trending. This is incredibly wrong. First, OGL 1.0 s...

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
But wait! There's more... :roll: Basically, WotC rolled over and took out almost everything the fans complained about. Aaaand the fans are still angry. Because there's no way to make people stop complaining on the internet. There was really nothing WotC could do at this point. WotC hasn't caved. Th...

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
What's wrong with the one listed as a travesty, tomokaicho? Genuine question, as I can't tell when it comes to stuff like this what is and is not a good idea. The existence of "the board" and "section 12" contains that same "orcs are racist" verbiage of that WotC uses ...

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
What is so insidious about this is that even if WotC cannot directly legally enforce its "rights" under OGL 1.1, it can seek to claim money from you directly, such as through its deal with Kickstarter to take 20% of anything published under an OGL, or have you deplatformed from the various...

Re: The OGL, Ravenloft and You
Quoth the Raven is covered under the fansite policy, not the OGL. So the new OGL should not be relevant at this time. However, the following is an indicator that the fansite policy will soon be updated also. XII. OTHER PRODUCTS. Sometimes, great minds think alike. We can’t and won’t cancel products ...

Re: Paths of Corruption
I'd say that is someone that isn't on a path of corruption. That's just an evil person that acts consistently all the time. Someone on a path of corruption is likely someone that isn't evil in all aspects, but is rather afflicted (willingly or not) by some deviancy that is corrupting. So this person...

Re: The Church of Zhakata and heresy of the Provider
The gnostics are an interesting case, especially Christian gnosticism. It's quite possible (I think very likely) that Christian gnostics were influenced by Marcion , whose ideas in a different timeline could have become the mainstream version of Christianity. Marcion noticed that the god of Christia...

Re: Hygiene and fashion (Richemulot / Dementlieu), food for thought
Resistance to handwashing continued well into the 19th century. Also, you can't turn back the clock and take for granted what is accepted today as accepted in the past.
