I started out firmly in the "No way in hell will I buy it" camp, but have since packed up my tent and moved to "fence sitterville" instead. The only thing I know right now is that I will be waiting until about this time next year to decide. I will be reading the new books at my LGS as much as...

Yes, we did, you mean this thread which covered much of the same ground, BUT some new ideas have popped in here so it's all good. If you read Dancy's post really carefully he says the same thing as well. Terramotus may be onto something. I will give WotC credit that they are trying to do...

Ahh man!

A favorite of mine and still relevant even years later: Gary Gygax Interview part 1 Gary Gygax Interview part 2 Check out part 2 bottom of page 2 to see how he felt about 3E, and how close it is to what is being said about 3E today... the man is not only a genius, he is precognitive.

Shapechange was my initial thought also. At some point in the show it was established that he got 10 minutes with the alien DNA. With that in mind, and that 5 minutes in D&D is like forever, I would go with 10 rounds instead. Also Ben does not always get the alien he wants, which could be...

I have not yet played C&C, but plan to try it out next year, just as I plan to try out another new game next summer. :)

Everything else already mentioned, but especially the conditions and restrictions on races and classes. For me this added to the game because it meant that everyone and everything was truly different. I have always hated the generic "anyone can do anything" attitude of 3E. I know some love...

What happened with my group was that we ended up having "ignore creep" though. Similar to what has already been mentioned we ignored specifics for food, water, ropes, lanterns, etc. until all of a sudden when a situation called for 400' of rope and a player says "I will get mine out of my...

Unfortunately for the publishers there is also a "I am not buying anything new for a while" crowd, or is that just me? I have more 3E stuff than I will probably ever use, but might still buy more if I stay with that game (and by *I*, I mean my *group*) However, as a dedicated fence sitter...

And there is the rub. Would you pay $10 a month for it? $15?, even $5? Gleemax is a marketing tool to bring you in, a "loss leader" in retail terms, so if it is slow, cludgy, and irritating it is just not attracting as many people as it has the potential to attract. The DI is a product being...

Well, yeah! I mean do you go to the store and buy the "most popular" beverage, or do you buy what you like to drink? Do you buy the "best selling" new car, or one that you like? Do you buy "highest ranked" music, or what you like to hear? I am sure that WotC sold more copies of Etools than all...

They can make a difference, but they are not the only force that can make that difference, so in the end whatever difference they make can be equalized. So they go and take out a tyrannical dictator and free his enslaved nation, but that enslaved nation was being used as a labor source for some...

I am going low tech and simple here, the tyrants have forces that are as yet unknown / unseen that keep them in power so that a single epic character *CAN'T* topple them. Whether that is they are actually epic tyrants, they have epic henchmen, or some type of god / demon backing. I have to...

Much the same as you have already recieved, I prefer smaller PDF files and larger POD books. I am a committed fence sitter for 4E, but even if I do switch it will be some time in 2009 to let the bugs get worked out (and maybe some errata in the second printings)

I would love for you to be right and me to be proven wrong... BUT I actually have a second word for you that I think makes my case even more iron clad: GLEEMAX! So far they are 0 for 2 and the next fastball is rapidly approaching. Just a slight correction, the product that shipped with the PHB...

I can answer your question with one word: ETOOLS! If that doesn't make everyone cringe at the idea of a WotC backed digital product, then nothing will. Having said that though, I actually hope they will price it low ($10 or less) and I *might* subscribe for the Ezine content, if it improves...

Maybe a pipe dream, but a good one! While I would love to see that as well, I realistically think the best we can hope for is searchable PDF's

Everything seems to have straightened back out by this afternoon. I had about half a dozen that would not ever download yesterday that were just fine today. :D

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression" I give you Dragon #360 and Dungeon #151 Honestly, I give each a 4 out of 10, maybe a 6 since they were free. That is not a WOW first impression, but these are "test issues", ok I will cut them some slack for that. The last FREE issue...

Heya Nylanfs, small Internet isn't it? Yes PC Gen is a definite and thanks for the news on 5.13, I am still on 5.10 so I need to upgrade already. All the suggestions have been great, but I have already overwhelmed the poor HDD and will need to upgrade it next week. The sad / funny thing is...
