Of course there's a need to shoot down goofy conspiracy theories. Suggesting intentional leaks legitimizes the act of downloading the files, because people will think "well WoTC leaked it themselves so they want me to download it". Clearly they don't like this, so it is very much in their...

I did google, but it's much easier to find if you know the name of the company that's developing it for WOTC ;).

Source please? I was under the impression that the community/blogging aspect was developed in house. I really wonder why they didn't just use something like Movable Type Community Solution. Why build something entirely new (and crappy)?

I love this. It will make the barrier to entry for DMs al lot lower. If loosely tying products together is a trend that will continue throughout the product line, it will create a bunch of modular subsettings that can be plugged into people's homebrews. It will also reenforce shared experiences...

Big thumbs up for me. I may sound like a fanboy but I really like most of what I've heard. I Like the general direction the game is heading towards, excited about the new FR, enjoying the art I've seen, interested in the online component, and optimistic that the new business model will keep the...

Well this is a game setting after all, you'd assume that the material you present will actually be used in the game. If that's not happening then what's the point? Of course FR is also a setting for novels and that complicates matters. Oh, and they do need to make enough money. Because if...

Chris Sims talks about some of his work for the Forgotten Realms in this blog post. Here's the bit I find interesting: I like that we'll be seeing a lot of maps and a focus on providing material that'll be used in play. The toolbox approach they're taking with 4e seems quite sensible to me. As...

This is only a problem if your assumption will prove to be true. To me that seems very unlikely. I'd also like to add that there are going to be magic items in the PHB as well.

Yes: "My fellow party members are of the convection oven variety, taking only about 20 minutes, by themselves, to conceive their characters." That sounds about right I'd say.

In the latest episode of Gamer Radio Zero there's an interview with Bart Carroll (a producer for DDI). He says: "The plan has always been that if you are a monthly subscriber you would get Dragon and Dungeon magazines as part of your subscription. If you were interested in purchasing an...

I understand the impulse, but I think we live in a world where we have to get used to paying for virtual goods. A virtual mini may not have that much inherent value, but I think you're paying more for the service than the actual product.. I believe that's a trend that will impact society way...

It's all in how you define radical. The way I look at it, each edition of allowed me to play a warrior/rogue/priest/wizard-like characters in a pseudo-medieval sword and sorcery fantasy-setting. I got to swing swords and cast spells. I explored dungeons, slayed monsters and accumulated wealth...

I have to agree with Riley here. I don't mind paying for real randomized plastic; the collectible aspect is part of the appeal. However, paying for randomized virtual minis is a bit too much. The flat subscription fee for DDI will be $9.99 so I might pay: -$5 for the monsters in a volume of a...

Scott, thanks for you participation in this thread, and many thanks to the people spilling the beans on the contents of the book as well. This is really getting me excited about 4E. Prior to this thread I hadn't really thought of picking it up, but now I've ordered it (and Worlds & Monsters) as...

I'm currently having a lot of fun with Warhawk, Super Stardust HD and Calling all Cars. All of which can be downloaded from the Playstation network. Motorstorm is pretty neat as well. I also have Virtua Tennis, fun game too bad there isn't an online mode. As for movies, Casino Royale in HD is...
