  Just a notice about copyright penalties:

TSR Hobbies, Inc, makers of AD&D, are being forced to remove two
sections from their book "Dieties and Demigods" due to massive
violations. These sections were adaptations of H. P. Lovecraft
and Michael Moorcock's works to AD&D terms. They are not, how-
ever, paying any sizable fines. It just goes to show that, even
when people massive ignore the law, they can get away with it.
So, don't worry about putting xeroxes on a bulletin board; no
one (probably) is going to kill you.
