Barnes & Noble's D&D Online Course

[F5]

Regardless of whether they're making money from selling the textbooks, it's a great idea for all parties involved. It's great advertising, and may be a great venue to bring in new players. Even if theyre not making a lot of money off the texts, I wouldn't be surpirsed to hear that WotC is subsidizing the cost of the class, for the advertising and the potential for new players alone.

I wonder how many people will just use this as an excuse for a bitchfest?

Hopefully it won't be full of long time grognards who're convinced they're comedians.

Unlike me. We all know 2e was the best. And that I'M FUNNY.

How do I deliver a virtual apple to the teacher?

Heh... it can be cool - provided it doesn't get filled with people anxious to mock the idea.

I can see it now - an entire class filled with the best D&D minds that the world has to offer, and just a couple of actual beginners. I hope that the long-timers have the good manners to NOT ask oddball expert-level rules questions, comment on the system being terrible etc, and actually help those beginners who sign up.

I like it! This is a great idea.
