Re: D&D AND THE OPEN GAMING LICENSE

The bigger problem with the new OGL and the morality clause is the inclusion of Conduct not just Content. If it was content and you were using the Creator's badge as required by the draft there is in fact a product trademark association with the brand that the old OGL did not need to worry about due...

Re: How should the US President get elected?

I voted other, because I'm against all the options. Sure the electoral college is a pile of manure from the 1780's but a pure popular vote is just a popularity contest, in which only name recognition matters. So what I would like is that the election actually use both systems, one for the VP and one...

So we can't say, that the Liberator has a speed-advantage and can pick the time and place of battle. That is because Rebellion is weird and ...

Re: Versus Series: Ship Combat in Star Wars

I agree that the Malevolence is a weird case that by itself shouldn't be used to argue the point, but the idea that a large number of later warship start mounting more and more Ion cannon's after the clone wars is the adds meat of the idea.

Re: Versus Series: Ship Combat in Star Wars

In one potential case I'd give it to the Liberator, thanks to her heavy Ion cannon armament. Consider that the Victory 1 is meant to be a sister type to Venators, and one of the to changes made when upgrading to Victory 2 was the addition of Ion Cannon's to the armament indicating that the Imperial ...

It's not a problem really, we needed to have this discussion on the board sometime and you weren't the only one overhyping the war risks.
