Out of curiosity, how many different version of Under the Dragon's Banner are there and what are the actual differences between them. I have version 1.0, and realize that I dont have a few things (some stuff on sword forms, for instance) as a result.

So my main question: how much was added after version 1.0 and can I find the additions elsewhere or should I download a later version and upgrade?

I would say try and find the latest version and download it. I didn't even know that there were more than one version, until Primal_Paladin told me that his didn't have the entry for Sword Forms.

Other than those I'm not sure if there are any other differences. I do know that the version I have does have a linked index. So that I can just click on a entry in it and it takes me to that page.

If Sword Forms is all you are missing though just drop me your e-mail and I'll send it to you in a .doc

I'm dead, so this is some egoscopic projection of myself?
Correct, but I hardly see what...
So without any fleshy meats to slow me down, how long do you REALLY think it'll take for me to usurp your entire kingdom?

Sword forms were pulled over a paper tiger controversy.

I guess my question now is: what was in the sword forms part? I already has a base desciption that I got from somewhere that is level based. Was there more than that?

Huh? waht is this about a paper tiger. Alot of us would really like to know about sword forms and what the origanal idae was. If somebody had an issue with them is that really a reason to keep everone from making thier on judgement.


Peace

Sorry,

a bit more explaination appears in order. We were contacted by someone who claimed the work was his and told to remove it. Being good and trusting people we did so. Turns out that the work is derivitive, meaning that the writer of the sword forms used the researched list provided by someone else - so the order and description of the sword forms was the same but the rules were different.

It was not stolen anymore than someonewriting up a character using the stuff provided on call of the horn and then posting the character. Sure, it goes back to the same source but since everything here goes back to the same source in some sense it is unavoidable. Repetitive research is NOT the hall mark of an original idea.

It was much ado over nothing - but we did not figure that out until later on down the road when we started looking closely.
