I tend to agree, and I hope you're right and we don't hear an announcement about the tools going away. I like to think I can do without the tools and honestly, I can because I have ALL the books for 4e, but the tools sure do make my DMing job so much easier. As others have stated or alluded...

Or, to think positively, they could simply be changing from Digital River to another company. One can hope.

Yeah, the problem is intermittent. I thought it was DNS issues but that's had more than enough time to resolve itself. As of right now I can get to the tools, at least the CB and MB anyway, and use them. One irritating thing that changed though, now the windows don't auto-size so they won't...

I don't understand why they would want to allow current subscribers to renew and not allow new subscribers to start up. Only thing I can think of is that they may want to announce the departure of the new tools soon, to happen sometime over the next 18 months, for example, and they want to stop...

Somewhat annoyed. Still can't get to the tools. If I go to dndinsider.com it reroutes me to ddi.wizards.com, but then the page can't be displayed. I can ping dndinsider.com but I can't ping ddi.wizards.com.

Also, when I read: "The D&D Insider digital tools are now located here for current subscribers. The tools are not available to new subscribers at this time, but existing subscribers can continue to renew the service." I interpret that as meaning the page at which you can sign up for new...

I wouldn't start panicking over some broken URLs. Wizards has never been known for their web savvy - this stuff happens. Until I hear an announcement from WoTC that they're taking down the tools, I'm not sweating it, and even then I'll only be somewhat disappointed. That having been said, if...

Yeah, I've known a number of DMs who were good enough to get paid for what they do, but I suspect that none of them could get paid enough to have it be their only source of income. Not because they are bad at what they do, but because the true value of a service is how much value the customer...

gruthunder, your player is in the right. He can certainly set the trigger to be "an enemy targets me." IIRC there are all sorts of powers that have "when X targets Y" as a trigger for an immediate action and there's nothing in the rules for Ready An Action that says you can't do that. And...

In 30 years of gaming I've never heard it put this way before. I like it.

Tile based editor and other improvements are welcome, but was there any word on being able to play with more than four people at a time? Also, can anyone tell me how the toolset works, if at all, on a game console? And yeah, it's not D&D, but let's face it, it's never going to be - not even...

I own all the 4e books and I will STILL definitely cry when DDI ends someday. It's so handy to whip up characters online with all the options just a click away, create monster stat blocks at any level with the correct math and look up any game element I want from my smartphone. Sure, there are...

If you want a more authentic D&D experience, save your money and pick up TOEE or NWN or even the old Gold Box games, as many here have recommended, then pick up Sword Coast Legends when it hits the discount rack. Though in my humble opinion which I repeat over and over again to anyone who will...

The term "misleading advertising" is a redundancy anyway.

I don't even accept the premise of the title of this thread. I cannot literally think of one thing that 3D printing is "upending" ... yet.

Wow, three pages and nobody's mentioned the Oberoni Fallacy yet? I must have missed it.

As an NWN builder I can also attest to this. It's possible to modify things on the fly, but that "on the fly" actually requires a lot of scripting/modding in advance, so it's not as spontaneous as we wish for. I don't know when it's comes to a 3D environment like this if it will ever be...

The first generation of D&D Miniatures smelled the best ... especially when they had been sitting in a hot car for a few hours. Open up that box and smell the plasticky goodness. Mmmm ... plasti-crack. Even my kitties approve of the aroma - plus they have sticky outy parts that are good to...
