If WotC keep the same package format -minus the DM Screen- I want them to offer a POD option for the next digital Encounters products. I could live with it.

Well TSR jumped on the player splatbook train early on with the Complete book of ... series yet yet when 3E came out they promised they wouldn't follow that path again. Now aboutthis whole "let's sell to players first", I don't think it's a good way to do it as from experience still only one...

Not all campaign settings should be treated equally. IMHO what brought TSR to its knees is not that they had too many settings, it's that they wanted to publish scores of material for all of them. What WotC could do is keep a couple of settings as "ongoing" and some other "limited series" with...

Of which I prefer the option 1.

That's great but for us who don't live near a game store that offers an opportunity to join the D&D Encounters, I really hope WotC will start offering a digital way to experience these adventures.

Bought the app. It's okhay but for the price I expected something more than a high quality image. More interaction (and no, I don't care about the clouds...), even some simple footnote about each location or a way to calculate distance between two cities would be helpfull.

Thank you for the link. I was watching the keynote when a power outage happened just when Ed was going to reveal the Sundering. I'm quite happy with what has been announced. Let's hope all other seminars will be available too !

I don't like these covers: the borders are too thick and I feel that the pseudo-realistic approach to cover design look a bit dated by now. I'm not even sure why WotC decided to reprint these books. Most of the 3.x crowd already have these books and/or have switched over to PF. So while I...

I don't know I'm not interested in a pure dungeon crawling movie. I hate it at my table, so I won't pay for such a thing. Also making a D&D movie is quite hard since everybody has a different opinion on what makes D&D, so unless they go for an adaptation of a novel series I don't think it will...

Partly untrue. When the Black Box was released in 1991 it still had quite some support. Just tp list some of them: the Rules cyclopedia, the famed Wrath of the Imortals and Champions of Mystara boxed sets, the Poor Wizards Almanacs and the specially dedicated Thunder Rift Line. However by the...

While I agree with the OP that the Beginner Box is fine product, it seems he forgot that D&D offered a very similar product back in the early to mid 90s. Dungeons & Dragons Game (New Simplified Version) | RPG Item | RPGGeek Sure the production quality was quite different but keep to the mind...

I do agree that as as reviewer the OP should have put into light the differences between the game and a regular 4E-inspired CRPG and kept tone neutral but I myself can't shake off the feeling that the changes made the game frustrating. I could live with a 4E rules light game but I absolutely...

I hardly see which "tactical option" was removed from Martial (4E Terminology) classes. What I see now is that they seriously rethought the way Caster classes worked and decided to create whole classes around older "schools" of play (Blaster, Illusionist, Mind control, Necromancer, Summonner...

Well if your GM is actively stopping you from learning "powerful" spells, all the power to him. But it can stop players from having fun too. And yes you have a limited subset a day as a caster (wizard or otherwise) thus forcing you to find another use in later encounters (crossbow anyone ?)...

I think one of the thing those who find MU "uberish" try explain is that -some- spells in the MU/Cleric arsenal are unbalanced. While this might never happen in your campaign it has ruined other DM (and often Pcs) fun. So it's not that ALL MU/Clerics are overpowerd, it's that some BUILDs are. I...

Well in BD&D you even didn't cast as spell as 1st level Cleric. I agree that if we discuss ONLY low-levels, spellcasters do suck somehow. Now let's start to discuss MU at lvl 10+... :p

Spycraft has (had ?) an interesting option: It define Core Class Abilities that are available ONLY to you first class pick. If you later multiclass in the said class you get the other benefits but not the Core Class Abilities. The same goes with PrC if I remember correctly; first PrC CCA, second...

Mutliclassing has always been something I didn't like in 3E. Either it was too powerfull or it made you suck. I won't even discuss ECL >_< Pre-3E Multiclassing slowed your progression as you had to split your XP but you advanced in -both- classes gaining the whole benefits of the two. In 3E you...

Isn't there a spellsword slated for release with the Forgotten Realms PHB ?
