Because of the recent developements with regards to WotC halting pdf sales and the ongoing complains about 4E and the treatment of original campaign settings I followed Jason Sonia's suggestion at the Paizo boards to contact Hasbro executives directly, telling them my concerns about D&D - the game I love and play for more than 20 years now.
It worked. A few hours later I got an email from Greg Leeds, who offered me talk to me directly via phone:
Dear Markus,
Hello, I am Greg Leeds, President of Wizards of the Coast. Your note was sent to me and I thought we could talk by phone about your thoughts. As you know, we are not perfect but we are trying our best to create a great gaming experience for as many gamers as possible.
Of course I was surprised by that, but took the opportunity to tell him my point of view, which is certainly shared by many people if I consider countless message board postings.
Since Mr. Leeds is away for a few days we will phone next week. When I have the opportunity to talk to the president of WotC I will not use the time to complain more about the situation, but to present ideas what WotC could do to make us 3E people happy again.
Therefore I ask you: "What would you do if you were Greeg Leeds, president of WotC in the current situation?"
That means I collect as many ideas as possible from you and present them to Mr. Leeds. So please share you positive ideas at wherever you find this posting. The more people take part in this survey the better. As I hope we all will benefit from that opportunity.
Looking forward your responses here or at www.3point75.org
UPDATE:
In order to make it easier for me to file your ideas and solutions about how to pimp WotC please refer to the following topics only:
* 4E (WoW-like game not liked by many)
* Licence issues (OGL, GSL)
* Setting support (e.g. New Forgotten Realms alienating old fans)
* pdf policy
* Layoffs of fan favorite designers
* Cancellation of print magazines
* D&D Insider
Thanks.
Hey folks, Piratecat here. I was curious, so I checked with Wizards and this turns out to be absolutely true. Please respond accordingly. Thanks.
