I've thought of this, but don't have the wherewithal to actually make a project come to fruition.
I'm also not a lawyer, but I've read multiple articles on this, and it doesn't seem like any legal violation. Corporation got lazy, didn't confirm where 10m in royalties went and under what circumstance, and got burned.
Finally a corp gets scammed by the common man.
I say good on him.
The last group I was with ran mostly DND 5e. However, our DM needed a break, and another player took up the reigns for a Star Wars Table Top.
It was not serious. Homebrew and the rule of cool made it a blast - Think Guardians of the Galaxy comedy in a Star Wars wrapper.
The DM for that set goal posts. Like around a certain level, force sensitive classes would get their first light saber.
My character was a bounty hunter who finally got his Mandalorian armor where I could customize "components" like a hand mounted flame thrower, or a shoulder cannon, or what the fuck ever. We spent more time dissecting statistics to get it balanced than anything thematic.
Totally home brewed in that system.
I think that was my best table top experience, and I'm an old school DND nerd. I feel like some days I can barely do my job, but I can quote how THAC0 works on a whim.
I don't understand statistics unless dice are involved, and no that does not extend to gambling dice games. Utterly useless, but I can go into an ADHD hyper focus on anything that is not actually beneficial to my life in a tangible way, lol.
I was in band, and marching band was mandatory.
I did not try out, as I did not want to participate in that part of the band experience.
So I was part of the "front ensemble" which is shit you can't march with. Timpani drums, etc.
We had an L frame rack with wheels that had all sorts of crap on it, half of it made in some garage before I joined.
We called it the ghetto rack.
I had a solo on what were essentially tanks that had the bottom cut off and an attachment point welded on top hung by rope.
So yeah, if you can hit it and make a sound, it becomes a percussion instrument.
I stand corrected.
Wait and Bleed in my ass.
A moron hires a moron to audit things.
There is a phrase for that. The blind leading the blind.
We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that's Texas summers at that.
There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.
I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.
If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.
It isn't getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.
I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me... I don't have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.
And for those who will say, "Aren't you just part of the problem then?" Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.
If it has horns, that isn't milk.
I like that you brought this up.
Dogs are omnivores with sensitive stomachs. Kinda like me, and a host of other people on this planet.
Cats are obligate carnivores. They also have sensitive stomachs. This is how I prefer to eat, but I do in fact needs to eat more fruits and veggies.
God who looks at the mirror and sees that and still thinks "Yeah I can talk to women."
I'm homely, but god damn.
I paid full price, and am happy with that decision.
With the recent expanded modding support, I'd pay double assuming the mod scene can keep up with the original.
