In general, the giants are too small. I like the big giants in EQ. They should make the giants anywhere from 15' to 50' tall. Even an ogre is what nine to 10' tall, so shouldn't giants be much bigger? Fire and frost giants should be at least 25' tall, for example. That's just my opinion...

First, no, it is not a matter of taste. They should have included popular monsters from past editions AS WELL AS all the monsters some other people like. Second, if they were taking the "middle of the road" as you say, then they would have included the more traditional monsters they left out...

You are right in that allowing third-party publishers to do 32 and 64 page adventures and occasional sourcebooks is not always profitable, especially to a large corporation like WOTC/Hasbro. And that is one of the reasons why they opened this up to third-party publishers. However, what I am...

That is an excellent point. If the Deities & Demigods had all of the major deities and demigods from previous editions as well as many new ones, and was all packaged together in one convenient book, wouldn't you have bought it? Why do I have to flip through the 1st edition version from 20...

Re: Re: Is WOTC/Hasbro mismanaging D&D? Yes, I agree with you. Deities & Demigods was almost 100% useless. This is another example of this kind of mismanagement. Whether or not they did it deliberately to make more money by publishing more books with the deities and demigods that were not...

WOTC/Hasbro is focusing on high-volume items such as the PHB, DMG, MM, etc. This is obvious. I don't have a problem with that. What I am concerned about is QUALITY AND COMPLETENESS of the products they produce. Why? Because it is difficult for third-party (d20) publishers to do this if...

Re: Re: Is WOTC mismanaging D&D? I believe I clearly stated examples of products I feel are incomplete and how. To summarize: Monster Manual and Monster Manual II are not complete because they leave out a lot of monsters they had before. The information I deem useless are some of the...

I had it "WOTC/Hasbro" on the poll question, but I guess you didn't see that. Nevertheless, I edited the subject to "WOTC/Hasbro", too. Anyhow, continuing my original post, I really don't understand what they're doing and why they're doing it. If they're going to just focus primarily on the...

Does anyone else think that WOTC is mismanaging D&D? With the wealth of knowledge that has been built up over the years, I cannot understand why they can't even put their products together right. In some cases, all they have to do is re-package past materials and update the stats to 3rd...

Can you talk more about the style and spirit of D&D and AD&D during the 70's and 80's, especially during conventions and such? What were your favorite moments and what did you enjoy most about the atmosphere then? How was playing and creating for D&D different from how it is now?

Four facts: 1. The children of D&D 1st edition (AD&D) have now grown up and started publishing their own products largely inspired by the work you and others did during the 70's and 80's. 2. D&D 2nd edition and everything associated with it is pretty much history. 3. The current owner of...
