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.

Quote from: Fritzs;235829Great victory in the war on swine... but somehow no one cares and writers of that book probably weren't responzible for this... I just wonder, if centrain people will be so vocal if case WoTC did something similar...

This has nothing to do with swine.  It is all about making fun of lazy artists.  There was a bigger uproar when Troll Lord released their Shadizar boxed set and the city map was a direct copy from the free map section of the WOTC website.  In neither case do I really hold the publisher responsible.

Mongoose, not Troll Lord.

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

I can't believe I made that mistake.  Conan stuff is Mongoose.

Quote from: Aos;236012Come on now, it's common knowledge that berserkers don't know shit about hygiene. They're dirtier than hippes after a music festival.

Look, they're nothing like hippies. Barbarians are long-haired, rail against civilisation, and have sex with anything that moves.

Quote from: KrakaJak;235833I also heard it was the exact sam script submitted to white-wolf for a Vampire: the Masquerade movie. A script White-Wolf rejected. So they changed around some "proper nouns" and tried to sell it elsewhere. Sony bought it unknowingly.
IIRC, however it came about the script writer didn't change enough propoer nouns. There are quite a few WoDisms still floating through that script, not the least of which being the reference to a vampire/werewolf hybrid as an Abomination (with a capital A).

This reminds me of that NewsRadio episode where the boss has a fear of hippies because he was beat up by Hell's Angels back in the 60's and somehow confused the two groups.

EDIT: On topic, I'll just say that the art rip-off is of Liefeldian proportions.  But mostly because I like mocking Liefeld for his obvious trace jobs (not to mention his inability to draw feet, or people walking, or anyone with anatomical correctness, etc. - how the man made millions as such a subpar artist still astounds me)

Right place, right time.

In understanding comics, Scott McCloud also has some stuff to say about Liefiend's appeal to adolescents.
You are posting in a troll thread.

I'm not so much astounded by that since anyone involved in comics at that time was making buckets and buckets of cash. What really shocks me to my core and keeps me awake at night, is that — TO THIS DAY — the guy has diehard fans who think his work is amazing.
