I think you mean a huge chance that disaster happens. :devil:

I think leaving access up for anyone who (ever?) paid for it and letting the 4e character/monster tools continue to exist, even if they aren't actively supported (as long as it is free), would be 'good enough' for me.

For the character builder? I would say "tremendously important" from the 4e groups I know.

For me the problem with reading the Essentials book was entirely about the size of the pages compared to how much information they contained. It worked really well for the Rules Compendium, not so much for the player books. Too much page flipping.

There's no particular logic to it, other than "this is how it was listed in the book." I'm not of the opinion that it is something that needs to be particularly logical, though I'm also not of the opinion that I'll be upset regardless of what they pick. I'm sure I'll keep writing it in the same...

Personally I'm really hoping for multiclassing to be the one thing that cleaves closest to 3e. I have a massive preference for a system that doesn't require you to plan your whole build out in advance or make all your choices at first level; 3e is really the only D&D that lets you sort of...

I still write them down S-I-W-D-Co-Ch when I'm rolling, to this day.

I'll say that I'm not really 100% happy with any current version. It is absolutely possible for them to come up with one that I like better; therefore I'd say the comment upthread (that I forgot to quote) about how WotC is the only one unhappy with the current situation is untrue. I can't be the...

If it is as successful as you throw out as a hypothetical and there's a decent 3rd party license model, I think nearly all of them would put some resources towards it. More sales is more sales. The only one I think wouldn't necessarily benefit is Paizo, because they have a larger, more stable...

Different, but it needs to appear from the outside that they are the same. In other words, I need a 'wizard' monster to seem like the same sort of 'thing' as a PC wizard; it should use recognizable spells that are available to a PC wizard, otherwise I feel like very large cracks are left in...

Something like tieflings wouldn't bother me but I think would be better handled as an overlay or template of some kind than as a race apart.

Because in the hypothetical they found out that dragonborn are beloved and popular, and they run the risk of alienating a larger group by NOT including them. While I would agree that the hypothetical is fairly unlikely, we have to remember that for every person that gets pissed off/offended...

Races: Everything from the 1e Player's Handbook, swapping half-orcs out for orcs. Classes: Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue. Nothing else really needs to be core, and you can do a lot of modular stuff under those headings.

Mind flayers.

- 50% increase in word count for adventures in Dragon. - Adventure Paths. - Bring back extensive ecology-type details in the Monster Manual series. Shrink the print and cut back on the white space and art if you have to. I don't need an illustration for 14 different kinds of hobgoblin, but I...

My feeling about whether or not the party can go on without a leader, is that it is basically entirely up to your encounter design. As a DM you can certainly play around the lack - if you don't change how you design encounters and the sorts of creatures you're using, though, they will probably...

My gut instinct is that getting rid of OAs will break the game entirely. Anyone being able to walk anywhere they want with no consequences will devalue an *enormous* number of powers, maybe even whole classes. Do a search in the Compendium for the word "shift", that will give you an idea of just...

That's... not how I would have described the Devil's Pawn. But I expect at some tables it will indeed be played that way.

More like too much nostalgia. Those places belong in <wherever I played them first>. I did say it was irrational. :p

I am irrationally annoyed every time they take a classic dungeon location and shoehorn it into this setting.
