If you think that job posting is insultingly amatuer and imprecise, trust me, it's completely typical; I've seen far worse listings than this. WotC's in plenty of good company in regards to HR technical mangle-speak. Parsing employment listings like this makes me glad (for the moment) that I've...

The reqs are typical HR mumbo, but its not that hard to see what they want. Mainly, they want a total of 10 years experience with either C++ or C++ and C#. As noted, if you are mainly a Java coder, and you have everything else they want, plus a reasonable amount of VS/.NET CLR library exposure...

It IS a placeholder; try checking the front page more often, folks... :p

Well, since we all know that 4th Edition = WoW; that just makes D&D EVEN MORE METAL!!! :eek: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/movies.html#l70etc (L70ETC I Am Murloc! vids for those who haven't already seen this...)

Well.., I've been wrong before, but Driddle has certainly convinced me that he takes No Good Can Come To D&D From MMOGs!!! as an axiom. At the risk of nitpicking, the word 'obvious' keeps popping up in this context. From a scientific point of view, 'obvious' has little value. The whole point of...

Heheh, agreement entirely accepted in the spirit it was offered... ;) I think that's a pretty good summation. I am extremely skeptical that any sort of threat-point aggro scheme would work well in D&D. Even if they did test something like that, however (which Rodney Thompson has debunked), it...

Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

/em basks in the dogpile of sweet reason. Unwillingness to test one's own convictions is the very root of ideology. :\

It's all about making a framework for interesting choices. Contemporary MMOG aggro management schemes may be clunky, and they're certainly a poor simulation. As a simulation, they are admittedly pretty absurd; but that was never the intent of aggro schemes anyway. GSHamster nailed it; aggro is...
