Actually there were a few comments that 4e wasn't being worked on yet, when the later press releases indicated that it was. You'd have to look back in the archives for the announcement date though. This was one of my big peeves at the announcement. I was ready for them to announce but they kept...

These two chapters at around 30 pages replace 1, 6, and bits of 2, 3, 8 in terms of mechanics. This piecemeal grab makes it very hard to judge size but I would say that most of description didn't make the transfer. due to additional mechanics and the additional race this section is actually...

I did a little comparison and the 4e PH has a significantly larger font size and greater white space. Just on the font size/spacing there is a 28% or so increase in size. The math I did suggests that the content of the 4e book is really only around 250 3.5 pages assuming the art is the same and...

I'm not sure its logically valid to say the game is better for storytellers or method actors because it removes all options of doing anything for those in the rules. May as well grab just the miniatures game and use it for anything in combat and use no rules for the rest. Why buy the big books?

Ummm the links in your sig are slightly broken. :(

You know a couple months ago I thought they were talking half these prices? How exactly is a virtual magazine worth more than the print version?

So am I right in reading that the nominal fee will preclude me from buying just a digital copy for a nominal fee? Also I'm wondering if being able to see details in the character sheet tool means that your printout will include those details?

I'm very surprised to see so many people complaining about preparing spells being too hard. I expect that in my epic games, but at 15th level, 40 spell slots is pretty easy to figure out. Maybe if you have never played that character through those levels I could see it being a problem. In any...

So, I just reread where Scott mentioned something about being NDA'd 8 ways till Sunday. Now that it is Sunday I expect some answers. ;) Seriously though I'm still curious about the time frame internally about the announcement. I.E. did staff know about it before the public?

*sigh* I think I'm in love!

Chocolates? What kind of cheap date do you think we are? We're the kind of date that you take to the store and tell the clerk you are going to spend an obsene amount of money. Really offensive. We aren't cheap at all. ;)

Thomas, the decision was made a year ago, but that doesn't mean staff were told about it. If it was general knowledge that means that nothing in the last year has made staff relax their emotions. That has bad implications for what people at WotC actually think of DI.

Quick question, since the interview revealed that people at WotC are currently experiencing the same emotions as the community, how long have they known about it? Was this decision kept secret internally? Regarding names, I'm assuming that WotC will be very careful to use them in such a way as...

With reading the interview its pretty clear that wizards will not apologize. They not only expected the backlash, but they didn't care. They have known for over a year the decision here and had nothing to offer when it came out. The interview also acknowledges that a year after deciding, their...

Well the frequent and sporadic sounding updates that have been promised/threatened negate a numbering system (gee was that in article 3206a or 3213b?) and the quick search (assuming search is fixed) will then bring up every article with "cavalier" in it, and no way of knowing which one is...
