h_double posted:This is also why there are a ton of Monopoly derivatives like Pirateopoly and Weedopoly. As long as you don't reference the original trademark, you can't copyright a ruleset. According to that page, and the cited case law, you actually can reference the original trademark, so long as you're just saying you're compatible with it and not trying to present yourself as it.

Yeah, if you threw out the one sentence that mentioned 4e that wouldn't be bad at all, and even with it it's not all that grognardy. It sounds more like he's saying the new and the old approach are both good but he prefers the old, not that the new approach is horrible.

lighttigersoul posted:Wait wait wait. He wasn't complaining because it was stealing, he was complaining because it wasn't new. And he didn't say his stuff came from Robin's Laws, he said that the 4e DMG took stuff from both. It's still a dumb argument, but it's a different kind of dumb than what you thought.

Drox posted:The thing is it's a material limitation rather than intentional; I use chess pieces for monsters, and so have to go to pawns any time there's more than four of one kind of monster. I tried using multiple types of pieces to represent the same actual enemy type, but it just confused my players. If it bugs you couldn't you just get another set of chess pieces? (But I don't see why it would, I also like that idea.)
