Sid311: Thunderscape isn't D&D.
They made the game after losing AD&D license.
I did not make the case for thunderscape being D&D, only that it was an SSI game. I very much enjoyed the game
dudalb: There are copyright issues involved with D and D games that change from company to company. GOG has the right to the D and D games from Interplay/Black Isle, but does not have the right to the earlier SSI D and D games,
ANd if the guy with the Stalin Avatar is looking for trouble, he will find it. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao are in a neck in neck competion for the worst mass murderer of all time,
and, frankly, someone using them as a avatar is either woefully ignorant of history, a over the top political nutjob, or just a troll looking for trouble. GameRager: I'm sure most know of the atrocities these men committed, so the first answer is out....and the second one seems plausible but not very likely.
And yeah he could be a troll but maybe he just likes images of stalin for some reason(you can like images of stalin and be a collector of communist era pieces or a lover of the history or like the images and history/trivia for some other reason for example....I like stalin as a character in Red Alert, as one example, and have used pictures of the character from RA 1/2 in some sites.).
Don't be so harsh to judge one based on a few random words or an avatar image. :\
Game Rager wins an all expenses paid trip to the gulag for his excellent support of one enamoured with Russian and Soviet history and culture. I'm glad though that somebody actually made a point about Stalin being a mass murderer on rival with (or greater than) Hitler, for some reason hardly anyone seems to know or recall this. It could have something to do with Stalin's much more positive image with Russians, and or his ability to utilize propaganda far better than Hitler ever was able.
I apologize if I offend/offended anyone yet maintain my avatar and recommend insensitivity training as offense is not my intent.
The fellow who laughed out loud is my intent, I am merely being ridiculous.
