Nice one, thanks for that Nylanfs. Edit: Actually don't worry about my questions, I'll just pick the thing up and play! :)

I would be surprised if that was the case with Roll20 though. Their tech seems pretty tight.

For you that seems to be a plus, for me, not so much. I want to be able to flip over a campaign to another dm by selecting the campaign from a drop box and click "reassign to". I don't want to root around in mydocuments folders, finding the files, manually zipping them and sending them to...

I don't suppose anyone has posted a link to a description of the varying license types and what they include? Or a handy diagram? I read the FAQ but it just described what a subscription is and how to cancel it, which is cool but doesn't really describe what the subscription includes. Like...

Nevermind. Someone up thread answered pretty satisfactorily (if you don't know whether you're going to like the game, grabbing a few starter pieces is probably a better route) so I'm good.

Hey, I'm all for choice when the choices are meaningful but this is not. When you buy the core books, its not possible to just buy the wizard class and even if you could, why would you? This level of "choice" creates confusion, especially if you're new to the game and you're not sure what you need.

27 different products? TWENTY SEVEN? Really?

Hes saying that all future products will be Forgotten Realms products, so Ravenloft becomes "Forgotten Realms: Ravenloft"! ;) Seriously I think he is referring to the crunch variances across all the settings (rather than the flavor or genre of the settings). I can only imagine how hard it is to...

Yeah, good post. Remember that you can love a thing and still find parts of it annoying. Its just a matter of how you deal with that annoying part.

Ah that is a good point. I guess the hero convention doesn't allow them to consider that option. Like if Frodo really listened to what Elrond was saying, he probably say "Whoa, on second thought that sounds SUPER dangerous. Here's your ring, good luck. I'm just gonna take off to the Shire. Peace."

Bit like an MMO. Set up some macros, hit your rotations and go get a coffee. ;)

Spot on analysis. I reckon get the software to simulate the stuff that can be easily simulated on a battleboard, and leave the rest to humans to adjudicate. Heck, you don't even really need a dice roller if you trust your players.

*cough*braveandtheboldjusticeleagueavengers*cough* Hell, even Batman the ultimate loner sometimes calls on Nightwing, Oracle, Robin to help out. And who's that other guy? Oh yeah, Superman. ;)

There are very big entities seriously investigating peer-to-peer lending as the next big venture capital model. Its a mostly untapped source of investment with a very attractive risk profile. Be crazy not to.

Yeah, as long as Hasbro doesn't lay too heavy a hand on WotC, WotC could conceivably operate in a semi-entrepreneurial mode quite successfully, which includes finding their own sources of capital. As you say, they're a small company which is conducive to operating like that. The key phrase is...

And that's great. But its also 7 years too late. The point is to get them as PDFs while the game is still new, isn't it?

Sacrilege! :) Just ignore Zardnaar DMs, he's gone crazy! I agree with you but a lot of DMs won't know that GW and HC are kind of OP with the requisite feats, especially when theres a heck of a lot of adventures with the hobgoblin captain villain wielding a +x two handed sword/great axe. I...

I wasn't saying you were. Just stating my expertise in the matter. House rules are definitely tricky but again, doable (unless they're actually not able to be modeled, or not usefully modeled). If we're talking minimum viable product to get us going though, the ability to configure house...

I wouldn't hold your breath. Remember how they briefly released some 4e pdf books on DriveThru and then snatched them back in horror? "What?! Gaming groups don't buy a separate copy of the FR Campaign Guide for everyone in the group?! Take me back to the nice safe land of books!" And then sit...

I think you're overestimating how difficult this is Umbran. I'm not one of those people that comes on and says "this is all easy, my kid could've done that". I've been in software development for 17 years variously as a dev, tester, analyst and PM. I know what hairy looks like and this ain't it...
