Monte Cook's new Dungeonaday.com?

[Hawkwind]

Dming the return to the temple of elemental evil put me of running dnd for years. It is a boring dungeon crawl with a paper thin plot. The only good thing about was being able to resell the module for empty quid so i guess someone likes it

What a subscription-based, digital RPG offering! I expect everyone who complained about the same thing in regards to the DDI to come in to this thread to complain and complain vociferously.[/sarcasm]

Actually, I don't. This actually sounds like a cool idea for 3.5e/OGL fans, which I may have to check out if several things pan out (conversion to 4e and economics being the big factors).

Cost is $7 per month.

I hope for Monte that people expect less for those $7 than what they expect from the DDI subscription.

Well, he has a kick-ass editor going for him, hasn't he?

The positive thing I see is it means WotC has at least a potential competitor, which can only drive quality.

Assuming that Montes offer is good enough ...

This is awesome!

Pass.

0 interest in subscribtion based services on the web, no matter who's offering them.

Well, I love Monte's work, and I've been bummed that he hasn't shown any inclination towards 4E. No change there, of course, but I will definitely check out a semi-systemless content stream from the house of Cook.

Here is his blog entry on the subject.

As for the system issue:

The rules supported will be primarily 3.5, but let me offer up two thoughts in that regard. The first is, even as I'm writing this I'm struck by how rules-light it all is. It would be a piece of cake to use it with any edition (older or newer) of the game. The second is, if I discover that a large percentage of the membership is using another rules system, like say Pathfinder or Arcana Evolved, I'll make a point to offer up frequent conversion information, assuming that I can do so legally, respecting copyrights where needed.

and who is writing it

It's a team of one. Just me (although I have the excellent and award-winning cartographer Ed Bourelle, the excellent and award-winning editor Sue Cook, and a bevy of excellent--and in some cases award winning--artists to back me up).

That said, while the updates to the site will be produced by me (with member input and opinions weighed in), there will be much encouragement and ample space for members to contribute their own supplementary material.

I would subscribe if Monte provide 4E versions of the creatures he's going to use in game. If this is going to be something like a massive dungeon I'm not the target audience.
