Things I have problems with: Which one is it? Now, it's not the items that I want as a consumer - i.e. Dragon and Dungeon Magazines, but it's Monster Manual XIII with the "half-scro, ooze-templated undead, the dreaded teal and aquamarine dragons, and the Third Guardsman from the Left!" ( ©...

Xbox 360 - Just Cause, NBA 2K7, Boom Boom Rocket PS3 - GTA Liberty City Stories, God of War II (now with rumble!)

I don't know Goldmoon... that's akin to allowing someone access to your online life - your friends, your downloads, your account information. Those are all high-privacy items, and people aren't going to trust strangers (or even friends) with that kind of detailed information.

No, when you do that the old tag is still reserved until it is eventually retired by the system. You can't get it unless he gives you the account whole.

Considering that the only way that would work is for me to give you my account information - nothing. You'd have access to all of my credit card info, achievements, etc., so that's a no go.

Statistically speaking, it is not. A good example of this flaw would be as follows: We have 50,000 posters on EnWorld. In this thread, we see that 6 people respond to a question about the Nintendo Wii. Therefore, I can conclude that only about 0.012% of EnWorlders own a Wii. See the problems?

Your sample size is flawed. Not every online person views this forum or elects to vote in polls.

And I thought I was having a bad day today... Thanks for cheering me up Henry! :D Personally I am just very disappointed in the decision and level of response on this, but I can see where that would easily be exacerbated by other events.

What's missing here is that this is how people react when something that they love and cherish is ended. No hyperbole intended, but whether you are talking about a relationship, your first car, a magazine, your favorite dish at Olive Garden, a television show - it's all the same. Something...

So we're mere months away from an online release that will change the face of D&D, and they haven't made any decisions about format, pricing, etc. That doesn't sit well with me, coming from an IT background, nor does the empty platitudes make me feel any better that they will be providing a...

That's not ironic, that's just bad timing. Now if it was acid rain on your wedding day and you were the head of the EPA... THAT is ironic.

Yes, and you'd expect a rather large Beta scheduled at this point also to ensure proper load-handling on the new servers. This goes live in 4-5 months and is the initial release and they can't even say what the DI includes. How does the fact that the marketing guys and the IT guys can't even...

Not many outside the UK though. I think the US has a soap opera and a news show.

The advantage matrix is better for this - WotC fits the criteria of a "specialized" business to a T. Otherwise you have a hard time defining just who their competitors are.

And yet to make an online tool that can handle the sheer amount of data and options, you need that. Unless you are radically simplifying the choices available, or the underlying ruleset. Either you get a shoddy product that is inflexible and incapable of handling a large number of options, or...

The learning curve is steep, kind of like learning to use Campaign Cartographer for maps. It takes a while to get up the path, but once you do it's fairly simple. And yes, its a rather large initial time committment. And if I hadn't taken the time to learn PCGen years back I would agree...

I just got my email notice from Paizo about this, as did other subscribers I assume. I wonder if we'll see another surge in posts at Wizards/Paizo/elsewhere with the subscribers who don't normally go online to forums and the like?

Do you work for WotC?

True, but you don't have all the options available in those interfaces either. They are a vastly limited subset of the rules, and typically don't even include all of the 3.5 SRD, let alone every supplement out there for "official" D&D. This is where the difficulty lies, and where the failures...

OK, Dragon and Dungeon are gone as is the Dragonlance license. And CMP. What D&D licenses remain out there at this point? I know Kenzer has one for "old" AD&D, but are there any remaining 3.x licencees out there now?
