I know this.

But if someone's going to do it, let them work for it ;-)

In the RPG, the little tile images will be all blended into one big 
picture.  Yup, you can take a screenshot, and manually carve out 
pieces.  A lot more work involved.

Yes, sooner or later bits and pieces of my creations will likely find 
their way into other's creations.  But at least they'll have to work 
for it :-)

Don't mind me... for 10 years I had the interesting experience of 
living on the "wrong side of town".  Houses were cheap there, so I 
bought one.  Whereas my friends were paying $500-$700 a month to 
live, I was paying $400 to start, and later carved it down to $100 
(by renting out my guest house).

I saw a whole different side of humanity those years.  Not a pretty 
one.  I went from being an open-hearted liberal, to a very strongly 
opinionated libertarian, from that experience.

I also learned a lot about the criminal mind, and became very 
protection oriented in my own personal life.  At one point, every 
house in my neighborhood had been broken into.  All except mine.  I 
had taken precautions.  They stole things from my yard, and a storage 
shed, but my house remained virgin.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the highest crime cities in the 
U.S.  It skews you.  Especially if you've encountered it personally.

So yes, I admit, I do take the hard tack sometimes :-)
