I stopped paying attention to WotC's verbal spinning and their "vision" a little while ago. It's done wonders for me. I find their MCU'ing attempts with the D&D brand hopelessly and hilariously inept thus far, but I've stopped caring. I play and enjoy the 5e Core and haven't spent a dime on...

Kara Tur almost exclusively (with a few trips to Faerun)....so Forgotten Realms for me. Moderately customized.

I no longer care what WotC says or does about any of its brands. The only quality product I've seen come from them (D&D-wise) since 4e's launch is the 5e Core Rules. I find their responses to requests about an OGL even more huffing and puffing. I wouldn't count on one. They way they're doing...

Big, fat nope from me. I found the SCAG far too random and scattered. Sure, it accomplished it's goal of being an introduction to the Realms via the Sword Coast...but I'm looking for something far more meaty in both fluff and crunch. I've found all of 5e's tabletop offerings to be devoid of...

I'm not looking for splatbooks as they've been done before. While I did enjoy them, I can see the wisdom of the new(er) approach. I still would like to see expanded options typically associated with splatbooks, though far more spaced out is fine with me (every other year perhaps). I wouldn't...

I found SCAG to be a massive disappointment. I find what it presents to be quality stuff (mostly), it's just not enough. It's too scattershot and unsure of what it is (to me). It isn't particularly good at being anything. It's just...stuff. Like a series of Unearthed Arcana articles put...

Looks very promising for those still interested in it. :) Sadly, I am not one of them. The rules play a big part in the joy I get from D&D, and SCL just doesn't measure up for me. Still, looks like good times ahead for it.

Unity under one flag... I suspect we'll see Paradox do the same thing with White Wolf's IPs as WotC is doing with D&D. One great, big, trans-media storyline approach. Paradox will likely handle the video game areas, and probably let the current licensees continue their roles with the table...

To be honest...I have a feeling this will be as sparse as they can possibly get away with, in crunch and fluff. I have every intention to snag a copy as soon as it hits shelves...but I just have this feeling it will be disappointing (for me at least). WotC's current "style" seems to be one of...

WotC continues its incredible knack for a complete inconsistency in its digital endeavors. No PDFs of current product and soon no online community of their own. Yes, the current forums were needing some significant work...but this is is just...well, par for the course with WotC and the digital...

I still think Mystic is an idiotic name for the class (though I suppose it's more colourful and less "constrained" than psion or psionicist).

An MMO was not a good choice for Pathfinder RPGs first foray into video games. A stand-alone, offline adventure like a Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights or Skyrim would have been far more likely to actually reach fruition (still iffy, but more likely)....though if I recall there's some kind...

Absolutely, hence "my view". The poll itself is one of opinion, and I offered mine both in the voting and comments.

A little whimsy has its place, for sure. Unfortunately, in something titled "Out of the Abyss", I expect dark, demonic forces with no whimsy. A little light relief in a sea of darkness certainly, but not whimsy. Frankly this is only reinforcing my view that WotC are fine game designers, but...

Until they ease up on the ridiculous Avengers-inspired cinematic universe approach, I will continue to have little confidence in WotC. This is the ADHD/Magpie Generation, hopping from one shiny new thing to the next at a pace never before seen. Sustainability is the fav new buzzword for...

What you want is 4e. That is exactly what 4e is. ;)

Global brand experience. Execu-speak translated roughly as "We're gonna let others put out so much half-arsed, middling quality stuff with one of our logos on it, you'll be entirely sick of them and anything else we may let others put out there in the future." It's an executive's ultimate wet...

This would be the 'D&D Brand' fetish they're currently indulging in. I think what they're trying to achieve is that while D&D certainly is a recognizable brand (even those who don't play generally know what it basically is), they're also trying to make it ultra-profitable, by slapping the D&D...

As an option, its great for those who just want a quick, dirty, pick-up-and-play dungeon romp. I'll admit though, in 27 years of gaming, I've never encountered those gamers (one-of games, yes, but never the "let's just kill random monsters for a while"). Well, not in the tabletop gaming world...

If they keep up with this D&D Brand fetish, soon they'll have only one person left. You don't need a team to slap a logo on someone else's products. I also find the idea that satellite products will lead people back to the table top game to be, more or less, proven as not a successful...
