A couple of days before GenCon, I was able to interview Monte on my podcast. We talked about a lot of things, including his career. Even though he was visiting WotC at the time and had been in many meetings the day before, getting the scoop on 4E, it was my pre-con podcast, so we weren't able to...

Thanks for the feedback on this. It's important that people know this isn't the case, so I'm going to mull it over and see if I can put it into the right perspective. Off the top of my head, I'd say that different parts of the digital tools are really aimed at specific groups of people: -...

Thanks. Do you have the link to your old thread? I'd like to read through it.

Not to be a downer, but yes, this stuff really bothers me. What Scott and Dave say is correct, it's not that we don't have thick skin. It's not about us bring run off or not being able to take a jab (or twenty) in our direction. It's because it's written in such a way that there will be...

I'll check into that. Thanks for the heads up.

We've been very careful all along to make sure everything we said about 4E was accurate, since we knew the announcement was coming and people were going to be searching forums and message boards for old quotes. Internet communities have a great way of keeping companies honest and I think it's a...

Yeah, a bunch of untan guys wearing tan colored khaki shorts probably wasn't the best wardrobe choice for sit down interviews. Honestly, Bob Mull (cameraman) and I were really just making it all up as we went along. We had a vague notion of what we wanted to do at the show, and then just kinda...

Yeah, I just noticed they're down now (I am usually not still awake at 3am on "school nights") and it's kind of annoying. I'll check in with WotC_Mel and WotC_DaveG when I head back into the office on Tuesday and ask them what the deal is with the nightly downtime.

I'll bite. When did someone lie? Everything I've seen or been a part of has gone to great pains to make sure we were being truthful for obvious reasons, since we knew this announcement was coming.

Yes, you'll automatically be entered into the D&Di preview and will have your WotC forum account name reserved.

This is a good point and definitely the direction we're heading with both D&Di and Gleemax. We really want to focus on getting the designers out in front of the community and talking about their stuff, and GRZ video interviews and the designer blogs were our way of kicking that stuff off. We...

Sorry for not being around too much in the past few days, GenCon has been crazy. I finally made it back to Seattle (and in one piece at that) and I wanted to start a thread about our 4E communication. If you have any ideas, concerns, complaints, etc about how we're distributing the information...

Hey guys, sorry about the site being down, but I can't say it's totally unexpected given the announcement. Our tech folks are working on trying to get it resolved. -Mike

You're right that it raises some issues, but I disagree that it would have been better to wait. This is one of those classic cases where it's easy to cite the downsides of a decision, without acknowledging the worse situation that would have happened with any other course of action. If we...

Except that buying a hospice is a waste of money! Save up for that wharf!

Well, I'd encourage you to make the video. Think about the barrier of entry for people to take the UGT exam. Now, imagine how likely it is that a random person who took the test is going to be willing to make a video. What percentage would you guess are either not really interested in the prize...

Thanks! I wanted to go with "Mike the Ungainly", but luckily cooler heads prevailed. =) Perhaps it's a sad commentary about how predictable us gamers are, but the outcry over the Gleemax name faded away after a week so, as many predicted. Everyone's getting used to it after only a few weeks...

Actually, that's not what we've said it all, athough that's what you've seemed intent on reading for several months now. At this stage, I almost feel like I could tell you it's 3:39pm pst, and you'd somehow read it as another sign of Wizard's evilness and intention to destroy anything even...

Four pages and no decapitations yet!

Two pages and nothing too exciting yet. Geesh, it's like going to watch the Circus Maximus and having everybody in the crowd cheering for someone to get run over by their own chariot!
