    EU Vice-president says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer.

    I think most of those "license" agreements have been considered unenforceable in the past. The only tests against them have normally gone somewhat against the companies (the biggest one I think was a side track which led to a massive microsoft lawsuit which became an anti-monopoly case against...

    OD&D Why is AC 2 the best armor class?

    Some thoughts... Because, as it was derived...a 1 is an automatic miss. I know...I know...that's not how it works in D&D with the AC vs To Hit Tables...but... Yes...a 1 is always a miss. Other reasons...it's guessed at strongly above, but it wasn't due to Chainmail, I don't think (Personal...

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    It's presently a large chunk, but I wouldn't say 100% of the profits. It's a lot though, and very significant. Also, though D&D is important to Hasbro and WotC, I wouldn't say it's a bigger part of the pie than MtG. MtG is the real crown currently of WotC. WotC also has other departments...

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    My answer is yes and no. As they are implemented presently, I lean more towards no. In general...yes. They needed a little more polish before being put out there. Also, I'd have preferred a few more bonuses to damage and hit for certain situations or skill mastery from Warrior types than...

    D&D 5E (2024) What's In D&D's New Starter Set?

    From what I can tell, thus far, Kobold, Mimic, Owlbear, Gelateous Cube, Wight, Carrion Crawler, Minotaur, and Giant Spider are confirmed from what I can tell on the pictures of the tokens. Not sure what some of the others are off hand. It does mention a goblin in the blurb. There's also a Red...

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    I'm expecting (and perhaps I should corral my expectations) very good sales (above what we saw at the end of the 2014 D&D run at least, perhaps more akin to it's highs...hopefully) from the new Starter Set and the two Forgotten Realms books. Dragon Delves won't really be an indicator (to me)...

    RPG Evolution: Philmont Adventures - Day 0

    Fun times. I don't meet many scouters these days (and scouting is a world wide thing. Philmont is one of 4 Adventure Bases for US Scouts, though occasionally other scouts from the rest of the world go there. I've been to Philmont twice over the years thus far. I have been considering going...

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    For me, it's far more than D&D. I had thought that there would be a greater profit for the last quarter (which is where it wasn't as high as I thought there would be). I see some arising problems that could kick in later this year or early next year possibly, and you are correct, there's far...

    Doctor Which

    Lot more Capaldi fans than I would have thought. Mine probably would be Troughton (absolutely my favorite, and not due to him being the doctor when I started...that's what they say though, your favorite is whoever was the doctor when you first saw the show). Peter Davison (what can I say...he...

    Trailer Red Sonja trailer

    This looks like a Fun Movie. What would be a great idea is to wrap up the Conan Movies from decades ago by having a Cameo made by "King Conan" just to wrap those up in cameo form, and then let this one be all out crazy (like it looks like it will be). I had no idea this movie was coming out.

    AN AI band has 900,000 monthly listeners

    How would one go around to making AI music... Or more likely, I make music and have AI supplement it or make changes to it (like change my tone to a Synthpop sound or something like that)?

    Where's Superman Returns on that list?

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Hmmm...I suppose I watched really old TV shows... There's the old Howdy Doody and Jeffs Collie...that may be too old... Maybe something more recent... Captain Kangaroo? I love Lucy reruns Beverly Hillbillies Adams Family and Munsters The Wild Wild West Bonanza Chips was a decent one More...

    D&D General Dragon Delves Missing Pages

    Sorry that happened. I wonder if it is a recurrent thing, or a singular mistake where you lost the first grouping of sheets (meaning someone else may have gotten an overstuffed copy with a double set of pages).

    D&D General D&D Variants Forum

    I'd have preferred D&D variants to be separated from D&D, but if you are including 5e variants with Older versions of D&D...I think that blurs the lines a LOT. If this is the D&D forum, why make it so older versions are not included, but 2014 is (as it is now, officially, an older version)? Is...
