I would pay good money to see this.

I would watch if nothing else was on. The dunking booth would be entertaining.

It is funny, but often not true; there are many who do not learn from mistakes and continue to repeat them.

Calvin faces a roadblock that many folks have come across.

[Darth Fluffy 302]

Good idea.

I'm fairly sure I've flown on that airline as well.  I know I've seen pilots in airport bars.  Not sure if they what they were drinking or if they had just finished a flight, but it was a bit off putting to say the least.

Well, the classic definition of insanity is to keep trying the same thing while expecting different results, so by that standard, he is doing the only sane thing.

I knew a person that used to say that all the time, and he was a prime example.

On topic in another forum...

That is actually where I learned of it, then I looked up details.

[Darth Fluffy 302]

This one is actually disturbing, if you think about it. He's about a decade out from making headlines in a school shooting.

I learned of it on the RPG.net forums (which I joined, ironically enough, for their active off-topic forums). Of course, I don't play D&D, so it doesn't directly affect me, but I have to admit it's a pretty messed up situation.

It's actually only partly about independent publications for D&D. There are entire other games that have been ported to the D20 system, and many settings. Some fairly good sized publishing houses, like Mongoose, are heavily invested in D20. I don't think Hasbeenbros has a legitimate claim to claw back what was given, but they are callous and have deep pockets, and courts can be stupid, so they can cause a lot of grief, tie things up, and probably drive smaller outfits into bankruptcy while it gets sorted out.

I agree with Mike in the comic, the only way to get the message through to them is to hit their pocket book hard. If not enough folks take an interest in this, they've already won. (Interesting character, he's done an EGS style maturing and becoming likable.)

I don't think it will take all that long... seems that a certain rather prominent mouse owns one of those game systems.

It seemed from the list of brands that Hasbro is in bed with Disney. I expect they'll try to make an exception just for Disney.

[mlooney 3,417]

It doesn't matter.  The original OGL didn't cover video games anyway.
