I think this might be a bit short-sighted. I doubt Wizards is interested in ignoring anyone willing to purchase materials from them. Sure, they won't necessarily cater to non-table gamers, but I doubt that they'll simply ignore them as a market segment. Exactly. My problem isn't necessarily...

I'm definitely in favor of getting virtual tabletop tech onto tablets, just not necessarily iOS. I'm an Android guy, so I'd prefer a more flexible standard. I don't yet know enough about HTML5 to know if it would serve the purpose, but I would hope so.

It's not about free-form classes. I understand your concern, but I firmly believe that with proper planning and effort, the team has design space to make 3E-style multiclassing work. Obviously it couldn't actually be 3E-style, but that idea of picking and choosing pieces to make your whole...

This is my biggest issue with the anti-multiclassing argument. Not everyone likes playing archetypes. Some people want to create their own stories, rather than trying to replicate Drizz't, Raistlin, Gandalf, or whoever. Personally, I never play archetypes. I'm no fan of "typical" wizards. My...

I'm personally ecstatic at the approaches being taken towaed multiclassing. I've been a supporter of 3e style multiclassing returning. I also like the idea of themes as an additional option. The D&DNext "modular" paradigm is absolute genius. If you don't like an option (which multiclassing would...

I really hope not. I gave the new minis rules a download and read them over. I didn't feel like it was a game I wanted to play. I'd be disappointed if that game was what was brought into D&DNext.

I've been discussing a lot lately how much I'd like to see the old Gazetteers reborn in D&DNext. I had the thought that they could be done for a new setting, but if you told me we could get the original Mystara ones reborn, with updated crunch, you'd sell me every single one!

I came up with a system much like this. I wrote about it on the RPGMusings blog yesterday. I'm not sure what the ENWorld policy is on linking though, so if you're interested in reading it the link is in my Twitter stream or you can ask me directly through the private system. I think it can be...

Definitely this. Beyond that, at the specific level, I would like Margaret Weis Productions to return to D&D. I, like many others, want Dragonlance back in "official" D&D. I, like many others, accept that a large segment (possibly even the majority) are uninterested (and against) direct support...

I've heard this argument more times than I can count already. It's not that it's "out of the question" so much as it is, "that's not what I want." Sure, you have a range of archetypes in 4E. However, I'm not looking for a specific "type." If I choose Bard as my class, I'm a Bard. I have a...

Well, honestly, I don't play rangers, so my point was more "If I want to play this combination, from a story-based perspective, I want the ability to do so." I like the idea of a Bard who started off as a street-performer picking-pockets while enthralling crowds, who eventually made his...

This. I despise the Roles concept. If I want to play a half-elf Bard/Ranger/Rogue/Wizard then I want the ability to do so. The Role concept really interfered with the ability to multiclass in 4E. I understand there are many people who like the tightness of the Role concept, but I truly can't...

It's necessarily evidence of anything but it is interesting that in today's DM Experience article by Chris Perkins, in the answer to last week's poll regarding which setting's themes excite people the most, Dragonlance tops the list by a rather large margin. Dragonlance had 13.4% of the total...

I still want a Dragonlance Campaign Setting, no question. That said, the Chronicles era would make an absolutely wonderful addition to the board games. Each adventure in the timeline could be recreated as separate sessions. That would make it a lot easier to justify "forcing" players to take on...

I can believe that. Unfortunately, there will always be the odd jerk player, and giving them an excuse such as kender to play that way is unfortunately going to be an issue. I'm not familiar with that era beyond the passing mentions in the books I've read.

I was thinking about this yesterday myself. Why not go with a Dark Sun-style reboot of the original series. Create a campaign setting focused on the early days of the War of the Lance, and let players base themselves in that era. Provide 4E-updated stats for the Companions as example characters...

I have no experience with White Wolf's material. I don't disagree with you though. I like open-endedness too. There is a balance that can be struck between crunch/fluff, and while I haven't yet read the latest material, it seems WotC is getting there. I'm hearing fantastic reviews of the new...

I would take this opportunity to say "that's what DDi is for." I hope that's not taken wrong because I'm not trying to start trouble. I just think if you want short and sweet, the blog-style article format in the e-mags is perfect. When I purchase a book (expensive ones at that) I want to be...

Yes I want Dragonlance 4E. I don't care that there is a contingent that doesn't. I didn't care whether there was an Eberron 4E, but that came out. (And I actually wound up giving it a shot and loving it.) I don't care a lick about Dark Sun, even though I bought the books to rip things like...

I'm extremely excited that minis are back (though I prefer randomized distribution, but I get that the majority prefers non-random and I'll take whatever I can get). As for the skirmish game, I'll give it a chance, but I'm disappointed that it will be diceless. I like rolling dice. It was the...
