    Dungeons, Dragons, and Demographics

    My only concern with this poll is that "like the looks of 4E" could mean in general or with respect to 3E. I'm not all that excited by 4E, but I think it looks a little better than 3E so I went with the positive answer.

    Thoughts on charging for game table "miniatures"

    And if you cancel your subscription to DDI, do you retain copies of all the magazines that came out while you were subscribed or do you have to keep paying to refer back to old issues?

    Thoughts on charging for game table "miniatures"

    I am mentioning it not because it is the same game, but because it is the same company. The thing to note is that the costs for Magic Online are outrageously expensive. Wizards sets those prices, so why should we assume they will not use a similar pricing strategy here? I'd rather be braced...

    Thoughts on charging for game table "miniatures"

    Hey, I hope I'm wrong too! But if they charge the exact same amount of money for a virtual Magic card as a real one? Think about that for a second. That is literally selling you an image dump of the file they used to print the cards they were going to print anyway. And you pay like $8 for a...

    Are Gognards killing D&D?

    More often it just spawns a rabid fan following that stick with the world for decades after it leaves print. Not every printed campaign setting in the history of RPGs sucks, but none have been commercial successes. Worlds like Glorantha and Hârn still have very loyal followers out there, and...

    Thoughts on charging for game table "miniatures"

    I think it is realistic to expect virtual miniatures to be non-random. In fact, I think it's likely they will be sold individually. I think it is likely they will be cloneable. I think the prices people are expressing willingness to pay are super mega-unlikely. If Wizards will charge the...

    D&D 4E What Campaign Settings would you like to see for 4e?

    Or it could even be an "everyone vs demons" thing wherein demons represent a threat to all. There would be tons of room for politics as other planar forces form uneasy alliances when the threats are stronger and fall to fighting each other when demonic activity slacks. I think this might fit...

    For the first time... apprehension

    They could have been such a great idea if they were not so ubiquitous. I would like to see the 1-2% top prestige class ideas and junk the rest. The Assassin was a perfect example of a good idea for a prestige class (whether it should have been a spellcaster notwithstanding). If there were...

    For the first time... apprehension

    I notice the original poster making many references to 4E seeming like it will be more combat-oriented (eg, more like WoW) and less role-playing conducive. I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but D&D has pretty much always been on the wargaming end of the RPG spectrum. There are many...

    The Official Welcome Thread

    Hello (and a few details about myself) I have been playing D&D in some form or another since my dad bought me a first edition Monster Manual because he thought I'd like the pictures. I went through blue box and red box Basic before getting the other 1e hardcovers. During the RPG boom of the...
