Boxed sets and board games and card decks, oh my. Not a fan of any of those things, so this is pretty bad news for me. I'll keep my DDi subscription for now, though. If the CB is fixed soon, and updates start coming on a regular basis (with good, interesting gaming stuff), then it'll be...

Same here. I play in one 4e game, and I have one 4e character--a MC Cleric/Fighter--and unless I can create THAT character with the CB, its basically useless to me.

I'm going to make two assumptions: (1) Most WotC employees who work on D&D play D&D in a regular game that meets at least bi-weekly. (2) Most WotC employees who work on D&D and play D&D in a regular game that meets at least bi-weekly have NO interest in using Fortune Cards in their games...

Actually, the more reasonable response to someone saying the cards are useless--if you disagree with that opinion--would be to show ways that the cards are not useless, maybe by describing the useful things you're going to do with them. On the other hand, replying to "these cards are useless"...

According to your list, I agree WotC should not try to please everyone. They should try to please anyone.

Keep in mind that in all versions of D&D, but especially pre-3, you control character balance with your creativity. Rogue feels useless when fighting undead? Have her stumble across a mace of disruption, or give her an item which lets her move/attack/move so she can get in more attacks and...

I agree, except I would say that the CB should have been a fully functional, robust web app that was completely updated in a timely manner from the beginning. (I still haven't created one successful character with it, due to some feat omissions and problems with power swap feats.)

I think the distinction is that if a secondary attack needs a to-hit roll, then it would be subject to CC. On the other hand, if a primary attack is followed by splash damage or some other sort of damage that is immediately applied, then that damage wouldn't be subject to CC.

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately, I'm a Mac user--no access to the old CB. Sad really. I was so excited to finally use the CB, but now it kinda feels like I got a cool toy for Christmas, but no batteries for it. I know I'll get the batteries eventually, but for now, all I can do is...

I haven't seen anyone else mention this particular problem with the CB, and I haven't found it in the "known bugs" doc on the WotC site, so I thought I'd send up a flare here and see if anyone can give me any insight: I'm trying to recreate my Cleric/MC Fighter in the CB, but can't seem to get...

I believe the street date is November 10.

I understand if you don't want to read posts like this, but reading posts here is still entirely voluntary. Just sayin'.

Wanted to give you XP for calling out this silliness, but must spread it around. So instead: QFT.

I'm very interested in hearing what a creative success in an RPG would be, even if you paint it in very broad strokes. Do you think the licensed RPGs are successful mechanically, but since they're licensed, they fail in terms of backstory and setting? Would Pathfinder be a success if it was...

But you've described two situations which should never happen, so its pretty reasonable that folks would stop paying off a company under those circumstances. The solution is simple: announce a product, and then deliver said product when said product was scheduled to be delivered. And if...

On the other hand, it might encourage folks who aren't terrific role-players to watch and learn and hone their skills. Giving someone a goal for improvement is a pretty effective training tool. Besides, someone who plays an RPG and thinks RP is unfun should maybe just be playing a G. Maybe. ;)

What incident?

Yeah, I remember being really pumped about the table back then. The tests were really exciting. Too bad it all added up to nada. The table, like a lot projects, is one of those things that really needs a champion at the company if its ever going to be done. That code is sitting on a drive...

I completely agree. And the less like the traditional LotR style, the better. Something dark and gritty, more Howard than Tolkien, set in Dark Sun or Eberron would be a terrific next move to both expand the brand and cash on on brand loyalty and nostalgia.
