blackstone said... Wow, I see alot of hypocracy... I think Die Cast Games has some guts, and I applaud them for it. All of the b*tching and moaning since 3E came out ten years ago: -How WoTC is messing with the gaming commmunity. -Revamping the game where there is no backward-compatability. -Putting out inferior product. -Disregarding Gygax's and Arneson's legacy. etc. Basically: us old school gamers view WoTc as a puppet to Hasbro, and don't care about us. Which is absolutely true. NOW you people are CONDEMNING this fellow? Really? What is comes down to is this: nobody here is WILLING to make to move like this guy did. Die Cast Games picked up the rifle and fired the first REAL shot of the revolution... And you folks are ready to turn him in. Pathetic. August 11, 2010 11:26 PM

Bah. Lots of good opinionators out there these days; I have over 30 on my Favorites hotlink bar.

What a pathetic bunch of weasels and informers. They would fit right in with the soviet system, occupied France or Ireland. Quisling bastards.

Some people are living down to your expectations, so your earlier opinion may be more correct than I thought.OK, Jason has brought the Quislings, so Nazis have tangentially entered the discussion. Doesn't that mean that this thread should end soon? This reminds me of a short bit by Henry Rollins. He talks about men behave. Friends go to a bar to chase women. When chatting up a woman, men say, "Him? My buddy over there? Don't go out with him; he's an asshole. But me, I've got class."Also, "Those who know do not speak; those who speak do not know." Frank, Matt, Bill, and Devon are people who have actually published game materials, and they are staying above the fray. Meanwhile, an amazing amount of "I Am Not A Lawyer" posts are interpreting law on other boards.

Here are a few ways I think he could avoid trouble. Excellent product by the way."What we got instead is an example of the human filth which inhabits the internet and are involved in this hobby.
