This is a labor of love for them and the license is way of supporting their efforts. I see it as a real win win for everyone involved. We are elated to have such an impassioned community effort to keep the game going. |
Yeah, but I didn't want to state the obvious or put anyone on the line with "possible" reasons that could affect the view of
WotC later, was just pointing out the difference in the license and possibility it has versus the Dragon/Dungeon license with Paizo, AD&D license with K&C, DragonLance with MWP, etc....that all had a set time limit that gave both
WotC and the licensee an option to renew, with
WotC having the first option that determines the licensees option. (blargh! I hope I got all that right!)
Wasn't implying anything, other than how this license differs from one that is secured in length.
Silly question for you or JQ...does skirmish support only mean DCI related tracking and scoring, or also prize support for the Guild skirmish tournaments under DCI and
WotC, and how/who will be responsible with that?
As well does it only apply for 2.0 DDM, or 1.0 as well?
I must not be able to find that on the thread because many people are talking about converting 1.0 to 2.0 now under the "rule" of the Guild, and others wanting to be able to convert 2.0 backwards for those wanting to play 1.0 with the newest minis.
Also, for whomever; does it include stating of the new Heroes and Monster lines into DDM (1.0 or 2.0)?
Why not just another question while I am at it...
Should
WotC reclaim DDM skirmish game from the Guild, who will own the new stats? Will players get to keep the Guilds stats and use them in the future, or will all those stats and cards be redone by
WotC, making people have to switch they way they play yet again?
-AKA are the Guild stats and conversions considered official
WotC products for skirmish games in the future?
NOTE: I would love some more life to 1.0 skirmish!
And yet another word from our sponsors
