    Suggestion for compromise on Wizard's PDFs

    (Cross-posted on RPG.net) It seems obvious we aren't going to get the perfect solution for everyone. It also seems obvious that the current situation is untenable, especially for a company that is rapidly becoming all about digital delivery. We need a compromise. I suggest: 1. Release the...

    What's the current state of D&D and the community?

    Splitsville A good part of those who didn't prefer 4E seem to have gathered under the Pathfinder banner over at Paizo.com. Which isn't at all surprising, as they make wonderful stuff. 4E seems to be humming along pretty well. Not spectacularly, not terrible, just business as usual. As for...

    Will lack of 3rd party support affect your 4E play?

    deal killer. 'nuff said.

    What's the scoop on pregen characters for Worldwide Game Day 2008?

    He is not pulling your leg; I picked up the sheets (and the adventure) at my FLGS today. Apparently there is another adventure, but the folks at my FLGS didn't mention it...

    WotC Official PDF versions - would you buy them?

    Well, it depends on the quality of the PDF. A water-marked (but non-DRM'ed), well indexed, efficiently authored PDF? I'd pay up to 1/2 of the hardcopy price. My decision to purchase the PDF would have no bearing on my hardcopy purchase decision. The two are in *no* way a substitute for one...

    Why does WotC have to apologize for making money?

    Look out! The capitalists are attacking....and their brought their straw men! RUN! Your premise is specious. I don't think most people have a problem with WOTC making a profit per se; rather, many seem to believe that profitability shouldn't be WOTC's primary goal. That D&D has a instrinsic...

    D&D 4E Piracy and 4e

    Regarding downloading PDFs of books you own: I agree that is (probably) illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. I think that is a pretty clear case of conceptual fair use, though I don't claim to know (or care to know, for that matter) the specific legality. I follow my conscience. For...

    D&D 4E Piracy and 4e

    PDFs are not a substitute for print products! I really don't get why WOTC thinks PDFs are substitutes for printed books, especially for something like a D&D book. I buy the hard copy. I would *also* buy the PDF for a reasonable price (say 1/2 cover?). Buying the PDF for 1/2 the price of the...

    D&D 4E What was Paizo thinking? 3.75 the 4E clone?

    First of all...here's another lost charter subscriber. I had already decided to keep my Pathfinder sub through the end of Crimson Throne whether they went with 3.5 or 4. What I wasn't prepared for was a 3.75. And after further thought, I find "3.75" to be an incredibly bad idea...and so...
