Copywrite helps protect creativity, which is useful only for artists who only have to stand upon things like unique ideas literally just being copied and having the names involved switched around.

But otherwise those kinds of laws would only serve to stunt and stifle innovation and growth, so no! LET THE MARKET DECIDE!

And you know, poor starving artist. Thus we sacrifice you upon the altar of capitalism...

They also help inventors, especially in a world, where if you invent something, if you don't have your lab scrying proofed, people can scry on you, copy your invention, and be selling it cheaper next week.

And it's not like it stunt growth much, as long as it's ensured that the patents are short, and even a year or 2 of having a patent, is enough for the creator to recoup costs if they do things wisely.

This is a myth, spread by media companies.

Consider this:
If Disney makes a movie and you write a novel that is a thinly veiled copy of it, Disneys legal team will ruin you.
If you write a novel and Disney makes a movie that is a thinly veiled copy of it, you can either stay quiet or speak up and have Disneys legal team ruin you.

Copyright disputes are solved exclusively in favor of the side with more money and patience. Which is why patent trolls go after small companies, not international juggernauts.

To say nothing about Disney's repeated attempts to get copyright on public domain characters and works on the basis of having made a adaptation of the material.


The whole thing is a sham to promote corporate interests while actual artists are those most likely to be exploited by it.

Which just show that the system is broken in reality, that don't mean any version we could make, would have to be broken that way, just because it was implemented in reality so badly, that it actually do the totally opposite of what it's supposed to, don't mean that making an actually functional version, is a bad idea.

It appears the age of The Riot has come to a close and the new era of The Nap begun.

Bah, this be not the new Era of the Nap, but a new Era of the Nap, for I remember those elder days still.

"It would," the priestess interjects. "You say it is not prayer and perhaps for you it is not, but it would go against the nature of men to ask boons of those they count 'gods' without the deed being rightfully counted prayer."

This is marvelously insightful into the character of Viserys.

Genuinely considering "asking those you recognize as 'gods' for a boon" to not be prayer.

So @DragonParadox quick question did we ever cover what happened with the Rhoynar fey discussion?

No I have not rolled that up yet.

@DragonParadox, I was browsing, and I came across this:

Hand of the Winged Masters

Then I remembered you'd actually shown a fluffed version of this in the quest you called the Claw of the Winged Masters.

With that in mind, since it was a staple of the Red Dragon Empire of Proto-Valyria of which Amrelath used to be a part of, does he know how to make his own, and could he turn a few of his minions into these?

He knows of hem but not how to make them, he was a rather young dragon.

What interlude would you guys like to see next?
 
@DragonParadox, bit of a random thought, but you remember Vaela Naetalor the Level 3 Cleric of the Merling King who's the first of Amrelath's companions?

Have you decided on what gear she has yet? Also, do you have a vague approximation of which feats she'd take and what weapon proficiency she'd have?
 
Margaery interlude? See if she has become more ambitious from all the magic, Fey and Reach party.

Edit: Maybe the reaction to the festival from them?

Not yet

So what I'm seeing in general is that you guys do not specifically want to see next but more general reactions. Something that sparked in idea was the thought of Braavosi reactions. How about one from your old pal Relor? I ave an idea for him...
 
So, I was looking around the Dragonlance sourcebooks a bit, how about this spell?

Suppress Magic
Abjuration
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 10-foot radius spread
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: No
This spell temporarily suppresses magic found in magical items. All magic items in the area of effect are allowed a Will save in order to negate the effects of the spell, but otherwise magical items lose all magical abilities (including attack bonuses, damage bonuses, AC bonuses, and the like). Magic items with charges cannot be activated, but do not lose any charges.
Material Component: A terracotta statuette.

Looking good to hurt some WBL-mancer.
Or really any properly equipped foe under the right circumstances.
@DragonParadox
Do we know the spell, could we wish or Mythic it?

I wouldn't mind seeing Relor again.

Could we have a rumors post after that?

It's a standard 3.5 spell so yes on both counts

I could also slip the Essosi rumors inside the Relor interlude, then maybe do the same with the Westerosi rumors in an appropriate interlude. How does that sound?

You like the spell?

I see a lot of potential, many foes are much less dangerous without their items.
Though we'd have to bring in a melee fighter to keep the foe in the feel, rather than run out I guess?
