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.

Yeah, well, Hollywood aside, White Wolf still ripped off Victoria's Secret.  Jill Goodacre, I believe it was, wearing the "Little Black Dress".

Same with Harlan Ellison and Terminator.

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

I'm just waiting to see who the artist is and if he/she has worked closely with WW before. I don't think WW were aware of the plagiarism but it will be interesting to see how they spin this.

I don't know, Vampires are parasites, really; so it seems kind of appropriate, at least from the ignoble leech perspective.

No doubt this is the reason WoD players are typically leftist sucklers of the public teat: real-life parasites naturally gravitate towards playing their fantasy counterparts, rather than good, clean anarcho-libertarian axe-wielding berserkers.

You ARE the enemy. You are not from "our ranks". You never were. You and the filth that are like you have never had any sincere interest in doing right by this hobby. You\'re here to aggrandize your own undeserved egos, and you don\'t give a fuck if you destroy gaming to do it.

I think you are taking pundit's war too seriously ^^

@topic:
Bad artist for stealing other peoples' pictures and stupid artist for stealing from such an obvious source.

That being said I am willing to bet stuff like that happens in products of every major and a lot of minor companies all the time without being noticed.

You know the famous pic of Emirikol the Chaotic in the 1st ed. DMG? I once saw a picture of a street in some town in Europe that was that same street (without the wizards and stuff).

I particularly loathe the way that leftists are all Mexican welfare mothers and know-it-all big-city ACLU lawyers at the same time.

It's funny you should say that. I've seen some artwork for the upcoming Guide to the Abyss, and I'd swear I've seen it somewhere else before.

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...
Yep, I don't think the writers were responsible. I'll give you this, Fritzs, at therpgsite there's a lot of anti-White Wolf sentiment, and I don't like it.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;235800Hell, 1st edition Vampire: the Masquerade had character drawings that were copied from a Victoria's Secret catalogue.  Nothing quite so obvious as this, but there it was.

!i!
Really? :eek:

Could you post the catalogue? :naughty: Therpgsite.com must know!!! :pundit:

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