This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

I don't see a RIAA connection - The penalties are a lot lower and it's WotC's business who they sue, when people, y'know, break their copyright.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

The interesting part was the "20M people have played D&D and 6M currently play" across the world.

I would love to see where they got those numbers.   Sounds like highly exaggerated bullshit - even if you exchange D&D for "all paper & pen RPGs".

They got the numbers from their trusty magic 8-ball.  :)

yes, that makes sense.
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

My Magic 8-Ball only gave Yes, No and Maybe answers...=(  Did the one with numbers come out in 4e?

I will continue to download books to flip through them in order to decide whether or not to purchase.

I am not fond of wading through an ocean of sweaty, disgusting nerd flesh in order to check out a product, so I won't.

...It's annoying. So many replies I've tried and none of them are helpful.

It's your problem. Deal with it.

That's the best I can come up with.
