For my party members (whoever is good at math) - this one includes the employees you hired, how many, their wage, their supply cost, and ETA of work time if someone who loves math wants to figure all that out. http://tawmis.com/kneurth/adventure-not ... nturers-74
Another work session completed! This was from October, near the end of the month...
The battle against the Star Hydra... and the Hollowing ... all in one?
The chaos of the battle is incredible... http://tawmis.com/kneurth/adventure-not ... nturers-75

They manage to drift to a derelict ship (yes, it's intended to be like the movie ALIENS, per one of my players request wanting to do something like that, so I made it happen)... http://tawmis.com/kneurth/adventure-not ... nturers-77

Tonight's work game (staying on top of the notes!) - the party is now on a quest to stop whatever is eating the land's main "beef" source... and never bothered to ask what kind of animal it was... and boy were they in for a surprise...

I haven't really been following the drama surrounding the D&D licensing too closely, but this is a pretty good legal analysis of what is going on:
One of the big takeaways is that he doesn't feel that rules to a game can be copyrighted or trademarked (anymore than the NFL owning the rules to football) and are free to use regardless of any license.

Youtube video doesn't work; as for copyright/trademarking the way D&D runs, I'd say they do.
Not only the monsters, the stats, the spells, etc., that are specifically created for the game.
I'd say it's akin to the NFL Logos which, according to said attorney can not be used without written expression.
So, while D&D can't trademark rolling a dice to do combat for a Pen & Paper game, they probably can trademark how their version works.
So the context of what's in these books is very much copyrighted, just not the mechanics of how the game is fully played.
So I could make a pen & paper, where a D20 determines a hit; I'd just need to change how Armor Class is probably justified (or even, possibly, called).
And this law bit confirms just as much.
The "drama" (which has now ended since WotC rescinded their new OLG (Open License Agreement) changes) is now over, anyway.

I don't think the forum lets you post a video by itself. I tried again and it doesn't work.

Heh - so in my monthly game I run - last month, one of the party members made a voodoo doll of one of the party members, to mess with them... (The Druid, Rettniss made a voodoo doll of the wizard, Sindri)... http://tawmis.com/kneurth/adventure-not ... scovery-27
Well, in this month's session, the bard (Twilight) and the wizard (Sindri) were not able to attend - so as a way to write out the wizard and bard this session, I basically made the Voodoo Doll absorb some of the wizard's power (let the druid roll a 1 to 5, because the wizard had 5 cantrips - landed on a 1 which was Fire Bolt spell). So the voodoo doll had the ability to cast this spell - the process put the wizard in a catatonic state, to which the bard offered to stay behind and watch over the wizard, while the rest of the party pressed on with the rescue... http://tawmis.com/kneurth/adventure-not ... scovery-28
Here's some funny snippets...

The party makes quick work of my mini-boss snake monster....
Meanwhile, the Discovery game has uncovered the secret of the hobgoblins... and discovers more terrifying news... and now must flee from a white dragon pursuing them!
