Let explain a little further. 4ED was not a profitable product that Hasbro wanted to be. What I remember in the interwebs are the people that on their own time and effort that (IMHO) kept D&D alive in their web sites, The did this by creating their own created content, when little of...

I'll express my opinion in a polite manner dealing with the spheres of influence that I know. Until then congratulations, welcome to the world of ignore and if you do not like to hear what I have to say in a polite manner then please go ahead and place me on your ignore list. Bty you are...

That is exactly what I have comment on previously. It is not whether WotC is right or wrong. It is how their customer base perceives it how they are treating people who have help kept. D&D alive between editions. Especially after 4ED fiasco.

And I agree. A very nice job.

Not seeing Hero Games on here is no surprise to me. Now they are a Kick Starter footnote. Gone are the Days when I could kick back and game with Randy and Ray in a game of Justice Inc. When Big Blue ruled and there was a sense of closeness to the owners to their customer base. The King is...
