WotC's Gigantic Ripoff!
« on: September 24, 2007, 03:16:45 PM »
So, there is this new book coming out from WotC that will be a chronological list of every significant event in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting called Grand History of the Realms by Brian R. James.

I said to myself, "Gee 420, that sure does seem familiar." and sure enough, it's the same Brian R. James of Geonomicon who made the Grand History of the Forgotten Realms, a free .pdf file for YEARS!

Now if you go to his site you'll see this little announcement:

Update: In anticipation of the September release, the PDF has been removed.

Well, fuck you buddy because some of us won't fall for that money grubbing crap.

lol nice.  Seed it on thepiratebay.org while you're at it :P

Kinda reminds me of the guy who's selling OpenOffice (free) on eBay for $3 a piece.
