Off Topic Discussion Megathread

PSA: Wizards of the Coast is planning to deauthorize Dungeons and Dragons' Open Game License in favor of a much more restrictive one that is all but overtly predatory. It will allow them to collect royalties on third party content, shut down any third party product they disapprove of, and use third party content without compensating or accrediting third party content creators (including noncommercial works).

All of which will effectively destroy what allowed the game to become as popular as it has.

Nerds rise up!

Sometimes it seems like a company is trying to self-destruct. This is one such time and one such company. I don't even play D&D, and I'm not even all that familiar with the company, and even I know this isn't going to end well.

Combined with the increasingly predatory tactics they're pushing with Magic: the Gathering, it's really not looking great for Wizards lately.

With both a husband and father whose birthdays fall on the 13th of the month (today for my father and August for my husband); that sort of makes it more interesting.

Anyone who works on cars will understand this fun. Helped my dad replace the sub-frame on his challenger this morning, so much fun torque'n bolts to 140ft lbs while laying on your back. lol

Oh come on, where is the fun in that? Best fun ever is learning especially when you have a fun teacher

Spoken like someone who's never had to rip the shocks and drive shafts out of a car because the previous owner let it sit too long and all of the joints locked up. Then had to replace the brake rotors too, only to find out that the same previous owner had bought the wrong size rotors and just hammered them on, thus requiring a gear puller, a big wrench, and a lot of swearing to get it apart. Then the exhaust fell out......

Yeah, my first car had a lot of problems.
