My complaint was that this particular product was not available to everyone considering what it is (i.e. a re-make of a classic 1E product that I'm sure ALOT of D&D fans would like to have access to). This is not "The Fright at Tristor" or any number of homebrew adventures adapted to official RPGA play, then made into a professional product and sent to members as a "reward".

There is a big difference between the two, at least AFAIC. YMMV.

I meant there is a huge difference between the two types of products being offered as a reward, Mark (i.e. Tristor and VOH)

So, it's okay for the RPGA to give away mediocre freebies and not awesome ones?

what if, instead of VOH- It was

32-40 pgs worth of the Iconic D&D monsters that were left out of the 4E MM

or

32-40 pgs that had the Class descriptions and powers for say the Bard & the Monk

And you heard the only way you could get these was getting it as a reward for being an RPGA DM? I guarantee ALOT of people would be pi$ if that was the case, right?

Good thing this isn't even remotely the case then, huh? But even if it was, and even if only RPGA DMs with a gazillion DM points (or however it's done) could get the goods . . . I still don't see the big deal.

There's a lot of cool free promotional stuff I've missed out on over the years from WotC and other companies, because either I wasn't paying attention or I didn't meet the requirements, whatever they might have been. And sometimes that's been disappointing, but I've never lost any sleep over it or felt any degree of righteous indignation.

I agree with The Rouse that we need to grwo the brand. Growing the brand just isn't fast enough!

Apparently my application is so controversial that it had to be escalated. Is it perhaps because I namedropped and mentioned Scott in my initial email?

Ah well, since they aren't sending out until August, I assume it will be fixed by then. I just wonder what happened

4e fanbois are problem children now?

I believe anyone insane enough to openly claim association (however minimal) with The Rouse is a problem child by definition; uttering the phrase, "I'm a friend of The Rouse" is reason enough for needing a padded cell - no one knows that better than those at WotC customer service and others who work with him.

So, to clarify the timing of signing up: if we weren't signed up for DM Rewards prior to 31 March, there's no VoH freebie, or it's not being shipped until August for later-comers???

I'm a friend of The Rouse.
