D&D will NEVER be sold. If Hasbro ever decided it was time to pull the plug, they'd SHELVE it, but they'd never never EVER sell it.

I just wonder when Greg Leeds (is he related to Lorraine Williams?) will take a lead from Games Workshop and start calling it the "Dungeons and Dragons" hobby (as opposed to the RPG hobby).

HEre's a pretty good example of when they lied to you: YouTube - Dungeons & Dragons Insider: Sneak Preview

I had recently picked up the core books for 4E and was planning on getting the PDFs because at worst, it's a pretty good game. I was a bit leary of DDI but had been considering a subscription, though I did lack complete trust in WotC that they'd keep DDI goign and make good on promises. Now...

I've been a fan of the Wild Cards books for more than two decades (I have a copy of all 19). When I found out John J. Miller had written the Wild Cards campaign book for M&M, I knew I'd get hooked.

Everything in life is a choice. I choose not to support companies with policies I find reprehensible.

I've recentkly discovered the wonders of Mutants & Masterminds, so I think I'll be spending time and money on that.

Just picked up two Green Ronin titles in the Mutants & Masterminds line through the EN World PDF Store: Wild Cards All In I will be picking up hard covers, too, not to mentino PDFs and hard covers of the core books for MM. I picked these up because I just got the 19th volume in the Wild Cards...

A moment of silence is in order...

Ahhhh, durnit. The Core Rules Yahoo Group has the last of each patch line for the original CR2 and the Expansion.

I agree with Stan! completely. That said, it will be interesting to watch. Games Workshoip was at one time the leader in tabletop war gaming. Like WotC, that no longer holds true, but nobody has really stepped into the fold to become the leader in teh industry. Unlike that niche, the RPG...

I don't deny the case is important. I deny that the case is the reason they pulled the PDFs. It was a bonus feature of WotC having to move on the issue. In other words, the plan was to pull the PDFs all along. Piracy was a separate issue, but pulling the PDFs was a benefit because now they had...

Here's my speculation. What changed was the resurgance of people picking up older versions of the game. This competed directly with the current version. That coupled with piracy which has always been around spurred a strategy of pulling ALL PDFs and using piracy and the legitimate court case as...

I'll put it this way, if Arcane Powers does not utterly fail to meet sales expectations, WotC management will consider their PDF move to have been successful. I fully expect this to be considered successful and to never ever see any 3.5E or older material available through legal electronic...

Well, I picked up True20 from ENWorld's RPGNow portal, and low and behold I found out that White Wolf is offering free downloads of the Exalted Second Edition rules plus 10% off on other items with the coup0n code of wwlovesyou, so not ponly are gamers making lemonade out of these lemons, WotC...

I've got it. Plus the Expansion. Got the Dragon Magazine CD ROMs, too, not to mention the FR Atlas. :D The Core Rules Patches are still available on the WotC site, better download 'em fast as they may be the next plug pulled. You can get the patches for the FR Interactive Atlas and the...

My point is, it is my belief that WotC has determined 4E is competing against prior versions available via PDF downloads, thus the removal of PDF availability makes this a twofer for WotC. They (incorrectly) believe this will help their fight against piracy and they believe the self competition...

I think that there will be 4E electronic availability, but only with a DDI subscription. I do not beleive we will ever see older versions available in PDF again.

Well, I like to look on the bright side of things. My collection of D&D material that goes all the way back to the white boxed set has certainly increased in value. :D

I'll be purchasing True20 tonight.
