Quote from: AnaxanderWotC is incorporating online components into the game through a new Website, DnDInsider.com.  Each paper product will include codes to unlock digital versions on the site for a "nominal" activation fee.
Oh lovely; so in order to get all of the book we paid for, we now have to spend extra money and have an internet connection...  :-/

Oh well, I'll wait until the inevitable pirating of them onto public servers, then download the ones I have.

Here's a somewhat official word on the OGL issue.  Morris (from enWorld) got an exclusive interview a couple nights ago, and this has been what he's been allowed to release thus far (more on enworld.org)

Open Gaming Licence

    * 3rd party publishers will be able to get licenses to create 4e material from Wizards. (source)
    * Fans will be able to publish material on Gleemax under (free) license from Wizards. (This material will be available to Wizards to republish; see discussion on Gleemax TOS).
    * The OGL/SRD/d20 Licenses will still exist - details still to come (Source)

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

My guess is that a lot of our questions will be answered in approximately 4 hours... but a lot of those answers will involve a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo that won't really make sense to us.

"Welcome to the CBG, where we don't steal your shit"[/blockquote]

Hilarious, My poor-typing ass.  This is funny, but in my industry, I'm an 'idea' guy, I help design new fitness equipment, and I have been ripped off more times than I can count.  I have NEVER put my gaming stuff out for public display before.  But somehow, I feel comfortable sharing here.
Maybe becasue I am getting older and no longer expect to make money on it, but it is certainly part of the fellowship/honesty I find here that I have bothered to post here and no where else.  I've been offered 3 chances to publish, once very seriously back in the early 90's.  

I really don't care about 4 except from a milestone standpoint, in that I feel that the 'social/intellectual' event that is gaming will continue onward.  I care a lot more about the CBG, personally, since it remains much more true to the spirit that gaming started with.  Kudos to all the oldfolk for keeping the flame.
Think I'm going to post the next adventure I write, just for that.

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

I think we'll need to work a BIT more on the selling of Swag before the CBG can proclaim WotC 'dead'... ;)

But I agree with the sentiment - for my own part, the CBG LONG ago replaced the Wizard boards in terms of getting legitimate feedback and occasional interesting discussion on gaming stuff.  

Granted, I still visit the Wizards boards to marvel at the trolls and flame-wars on the Mature boards.  We don't quite have anything like that here... yet...

Who's in charge of the swag again?  I was thinking of some things that would be cool to have.  (Probably not practical to produce, but cool)

ElDo has been the one to set things up in terms of swag, but we had some problems with the cafepress site awhile back, and I'm not sure everything's back up and running.

Guys, guys, you're missing the point of my post.  What we REALLY need to catapult the CBG to the next level in online gaming discussion groups is to get a Mature board, complete with trolls and arguments about whether paladins can eat babies.

Hey Ishy, looks like WotC is using your homebrew to launch 4E.

DUN DUN DUN.... (it had to be said). Also, I think we may need more members before we can proclaim WOTC dead.... [blockquote WOTC Community home]Members: 247,888, Active Members: 51,685[/blockquote]
so, with rounding, 250k against 300. Remind you of something?

Yeah, I saw that a long time ago :(  It's disappointing, because I was always very proud of that name, and now it will look like, "Ooh, that Ishy, he's just stealing WotC names for his stuff" :( :(
