Monte Cook's new Dungeonaday.com?

[Glyfair]

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.

I got the feeling that when Monte was discussing conversions he was partially talking about 4E without mentioning it. Clearly worrying about "copyright" issues would be most applicable to 4E and the GS. It certainly wouldn't apply to the mentioned Arcana Unearthed.

I'm interested, but not at $7/month.

I played through Banewarrens, and that was a pretty interesting dungeon, but it wasn't really a "classic dungeon" in my opinion - there were multiple parties, betrayals and all such neat stuff in it to make it more than a dungeon crawl. Maybe he'll repeat that...

I ran the Banewarrens too and that was a fun dungeon. I think it would be safe to say that Monte would be doing this mega-dungeon with similar themes and style.

As to whether I would get into this subscription, I don't think so.

Monte is a great, great designer-- not just for the quality of his design skills, but for the quality of great, marketable concepts like this.

He's a big thinker.

I love it.

I think he'll get his 1000 true fans, however. I know he would have two years ago.

He must be bored.

I hope the first week is free or something, so people can check it out before deciding. I'm curious about it [and I've always like megadungeons, but not purely hacknslash stuff - there's plenty you can have in a dungeon without every room being either filled with enemies, traps or empty], but I'm tempted to get DDI right now, trying to figure out what happened to my Pathfinder subscription and... this. Three different subscription things for three different systems. If I can't see what I'm buying first for Monte, I might just have to skip it cause I can only afford so much.

No one's as big of a Monte fan as I am. My very first product, Poisoncraft, was also the first 3pp product with AE conversion notes under Monte's AE license.

Anyone who doubts his ability to make a megadungeon interesting doesn't have Ptolus. I look at this as a way to get in on the next Ptolus from day one, which is an exiciting prospect to say the least.

That said, I'm a full-fledged 4e-phile, so I'll just be checking it out for giggles. To be clear, I simply don't think this can be done for 4e under the GSL. Indeed, it seems like exactly the kind of thing Wizards wants to avoid competing with their DDI.

I don't have a DDI subscription, but i would gladly pay 7 bucks a month to Monte. He is great. But rules light or not, not doing it in 4E is a great barrier.
I'll read the reviews though.

The GSL prohibits online delivery methods of 4E like this, doesn't it? If so, he couldn't use the GSL to deliver this type of product. Thus, no 4E.

I think you're right --- that's $7k/month, a decent income by any standard, let alone game designers. Best of luck to Mr. Cook in his endeavor.

But yes, pass for me. Do I not have Castle Whiterock? Ah yes, I do.
