Yes, exactly that! =] From previous discussion on the topic I was under the impression that there was basically zero follow-through and no way to tell if they had even received the submission. Glad to know that was mistaken (or if not that they at least dealt with the problem).

If I embrace the Dragon, wouldn't people start talking? And I don't seriously think that making the Dragon illegal would do any good...

Well, personally, I feel that using feats to fix trap options is worse than the anti-errata crowd complaining... But that is just my opinion. And what's key here (for me) is that I want players to be able to create their characters to the best of their ability and, despite differences in that...

I would think that a form-letter "We have received your submission and will be looking it over in the future, here's approximately how long you should expect to be waiting for a response if we like it." wouldn't be unrealistic.

I don't even see the runepriest as ending up being much different from the cleric in terms of mechanical effect. I get that there's a lot more to it than that (OK, I could maybe keep that in mind a bit better sometimes, I guess), but I'd really like to see more stuff that actually behaves...

OK, I can see where people want that "one special feat" (or whatever) that exactly fits the concept they want to play. There's a few of those I wouldn't mind seeing myself. I just don't see where the scatter-shot approach of the power books was really delivering that. And the idea that...

I agree that a bad class is bad... lol... My point is, mainly, that I don't think that "added support" is a good way to fix a bad class. To me it just seems that if the class wasn't good enough to play in the first place, it should be fixed before more options are added. Otherwise you just end...

IMO WotC has two problems - one, they've oversaturated the market, leaving themselves with too many classes, races, etc. to actually support, and two, they really would have been served by not releasing their core products before they had years or errata and feedback under their belts. Paizo got...

I think there's a fairly wide distance in our points of view. I like new books and stuff, I like reading through them, finding neat stuff, etc. But they aren't in any way central to my enjoyment of the game. They're just something to do while I'm not actually DMing or playing (or doing other...

I think mostly because nobody wrote it. This is a good article, and I'd like to see more like it, but ISTR a fair amount of complaint about the "DM advice" content of DMG2 when it came out (admittedly along with some of what I felt was well-deserved praise). I think WotC could profit from...

I don't think that wanting any of those things is unreasonable. However, as you yourself have pointed out, you're coming across as very bitter about it. I don't know if you actually are that bitter, but when I've gotten that way in the past I've found it helpful to step away from aggravating...

I'm really looking forward to the Owlbear class in HotFW.

I don't think it matters if you're an experienced player or a new player. Some new players may well benefit from additional simplicity, but others are going to want the same choices as "everybody else". Meanwhile, I'm an experienced player and the vampire totally doesn't bother me on the basis...

Asking them is certainly 100% within your right. What recourse you have to "put your foot down" beyond that will depend on how the store owner feels about it, your own willingness to say "OK, that's enough, any more of this and I stop DMing.", and the willingness of the complaining players to...

That does sound disappointing, hopefully it will be addresses in Dragon some time soon. However it's kind of seeming to me like they may have tried to include too much stuff in the book. Fewer things could have had more options each... I guess it's a symptom of the economy, though. I don't know...

I think that fortune cards where not quite as bad conceptually as stabbing myself in the face with a fork, but I have a hard time seeing myself implementing stabbing myself in the face with a fork as poorly as they where implemented. Fortunately, over here in my little universe, they no longer...

This. M:tG art has certainly moved in a more uniformly-thematic direction in the past few millenia of it's existence, but it's still nowhere near D&D in that respect. There's just a lot more freedom for the artists to do wild stuff, instead of trying to portray a very consistent aesthetic...

The fact that all games are not played in a tactically identical fashion is not system-related, though. You can have a very tactically rich game of 1e, and you can have a not at all tactically rich game of 4e. What 4e offers is the option of handling tactical issues via the system. You can make...

We can't really know until more of the previously-canceled material shows up in the DDI, and I can't XP you until I spread it around a bit more...

I don't usually prep more stuff than I need - I think some times I don't do as much as I should. I do over-work and over-think some of the stuff I do, sometimes... This little project is in part just a time-killer, and it's also been an interesting learning experience, even just what I've done...
