It's a nightmare. Every year lately I've been moving. Which means that every year I need to figure out the new set of hoops to leap through to set up, in my case, Kloogewerks or Fantasy Grounds. Last year not only did I have to set up firewalls on the computer and port forwarding on the...

PvP weighs in on the edition wars.

Very cool! Looking forward to some air pirates.

You're right -- I forgot about that. Yah, a typical $10 PDF is a 96 page or so book (or maybe 64 page book that's a new release). Maybe the extra charge is to cover potential legal fees! :eek:

GM Skarka of Adamant Entertainment said a while back that he wasn't overly impressed with the sales of his Venture4th module, Scourge of the Ratmen -- and I've read it. It's a solid module. So maybe 4e's good for WotC, but not such a big deal for 3PPs. Though it might instead be that PDFs...

Condescending too. Just all kinds of win today.

I don't believe people deserve respect based on amount of time posting -- but I don't think Psion making a mistake warrants the kind of rude response Psion got, and that would hold for anyone, no matter how many posts they have.

They can still distribute any physical stock they have left in their warehouse. So I don't think there'd be any pulping required. Electronic stock all has to go away immediately -- so I guess this means that Goodman Games isn't selling enough old PDFs to make that a big concern. And, of...

RE: A failure of DDI affecting sales of D&D books: I definitely believe it will in an opportunity cost way -- in that, a successful DDI will increase sales of D&D books since a good DDI will make it easier for more people to game, and those people will then have a reason to buy more books.

I don't know about the colossal part -- but Magic Online 3 is certainly a failure for me. It went from being a game/interface I enjoyed and played in Magic Online 2, to something that's too annoying to use (and still missing key features). And that example along with eTools seems to be the...

At the rate the DDI is progressing I'll be playing MMO's on my Wii-holodeck before D&D is wholly online!

Woot and congrats! Looks great.

What Morrus said -- -- and this sort of thing would likely fall under WotC's fansite/support policy in WotC's eyes, which in the past was very friendly.

I have also learned between which letters the teleport spell activates.

I disagree with that. This method adds an element of suspense -- they'll eventually figure out that the mark has been activated -- then they'll figure out why -- then there will be a showdown. And we still haven't heard from Tiamat -- who will certainly be sending very nasty monsters after...

Inductive evidence for WotC's online tools: Mastertools eTools Gleemax Magic Online 3.0 Compendium :D

That's my feeling too. I'd like to read this strip for at least 20 more years -- and they're going to need a lot of side quests for that!

WotC was hiring for digital initiative at least Jan 2007 -- and DDI was announced at last GenCon I believe.

The stuff that's not yet available sounds good -- and I look forward to it, and if they just started this project 3 weeks ago then it's okay. But I have to wonder what they've been doing about the DDI for the last year besides advertising it.

That was done by some unpaid guy on the internet in his spare time -- like, while working a real job. Supposedly the DDI has been brewing up with a team of full-time professional programmers for a year or more and all they've got at launch + 3 weeks is a search box and copy and pasted text?
