But as I’ve said, the content from Dragon and Dungeon more than makes up for it and I think you’ll be really happy with your purchase. |
Uhm... gotta say I disagree with most of your argument in that blog. Your argument hinges around it being $18.50 more for just the magazines...
Yet the magazines were an actual hardcopy (which allowed such things as poster maps, counters, etc.), with 3.5 you had a free
SRD (basically free PDF or word copy of the rules)...free character generators (which are no longer available under the new
GSL), free articles and adventures on the website (so double the content of mag + free stuff), and a dungeon tile builder app. I mean my honest opinion is that you had everything the
DDI was suppose to offer (ok with the exception of a 3D virtual gametable...but we've yet to see this materialize and there are free 2D versions) with the previous edition at a fraction of the estimated price for the full version of
DDI.
And yet another word from our sponsors
