Probably not. The issue is silverlight, not the data about what or how to print that gets sent to silverlight.

Before they were released, it was thought that Essentials might herald the equivalent of 3.5e, something that wasn't a full edition upgrade, but also wasn't back compatible. Since release, Essentials has been seen as just another set of source books, with some different mechanics. Right now...

Magic set editor.

I'm not sure either of those are fixable though.

Welcome to my boat. Just about any good news would get me to renew. A working Monster Builder that supports any of the features asked of it since it was released, good reviews of the character builder, lots of new content in the compendium, heck, if they still had the monthly articles "bound"...

Pre-ordered. It looks like it added a bunch of the tables i had hacked onto my old one.

What the hell does restructuring a company's incorporation have to do with anything?

I suspect a lot of the problem is unfamiliarity with software design. WotC has a lot of experience as a book publisher, a fair amount in other forms of physical publishing (magic card, board games), but virtually none in the electronic area. Sure they could hire a contractor to do it, but that...

It's been two years. At this point, you're getting into a self-fulfilling prophesy. By waiting to commit resources, the number of subscribers is going to be affected by the lack of resources. Certainly the lack of resources (or at least ability to deliver) is why I'm not renewing currently.

Anecdotally I'd guess that at least 2x the DDI group is a low floor. In my group, currently everyone (but me as my subscription just lapsed and I'm not re-upping till there's a monster builder at least) is a subscriber, but only myself and one other player have setup the wotc community account...

Given that WotC is currently working with SYFY on a movie, I'm going to assume that the movie rights aren't tied up with someone else.

Um, What? Which drug-adled delusion told you this? And revert to who, exactly?

Just to add in, DDMs have had a good run. 8 years with ~20 different sets over the years is a solid performance. With that much output, its no wonder that the market is saturated.

I dunno if I buy the idea that the initial cost (ie, sculpting, mold making, etc) is the reason the board game minis are affordable. I suspect its about the fact that the minis are unpainted first and foremost. That removes much of the human work costs.

My experience is that really there isn't another company out there making minis at the same price/quality point. DDM were always at the mass produced dreck level of quality/price. While that might sound insulting, it's also why I liked them. I got ok quality, a wide selection, and a low...

WTF!?!?!?! Joining the PDFs together takes all of 3 minutes. I'm one of the few who liked to archive and read them as a whole (especially when away from the internet). Now that option is gone. This puts me in the pessimistic on the wotc/DnD future group for sure. They're pulling back from...

FWIW, WotC is pretty good about making the fixes to broken things free. That is, the rules update is not part of DDI. All that said, DDI is a pretty good value, as it gives you access to the mechanical info from all the books. I'd still put a trial of it as a good idea to purchase. Aside...

Well, techinically, WotC is a wholly owned subsidiary. It's an LLC whose owner is HAS. So in that sense, the paperwork is mostly separate, even though it all gets added in at the end.

I've found that excess non-monetary treasure gets disenchanted by the wizard for either ritual use or snorting off the bum of a trollop.

Slightly less rampant speculation. Ebook only publication.
