That is sheer genius! I don't know why I would have never thought of that as a design upgrade but it certainly makes more sense than a 5th level wizard who can only cast 3rd level spells. Perhaps they will do something like this for 4E since they have the 4E 30 levels = 3E 20 levels.

Reboot is a very interesting idea. I would have preferred a launch of a completely new core DnD setting. Not a funky out of the box one like Eberron, but a more traditional like GH or FR. It allows a free pass on jettisoning the fluff that we all know and love and starts everyone at a new...

Yes, and despite that bias 30% think we shouldn't have an impact. If I had included more detailed foils such as, "no, they shouldn't consider input except when it's the overwhelming majority" ala the don't advance Eberron's timeline option then the "no"s would be even higher.....very intriguing.

So write in your option! You've commented three times with no actual insight into your thoughts. I've been dying to know what makes Dr. Awkward tick. :D I am not trying to discern if people are with me or against me. I did make things rather cut and dry because the more options you have...

My question is what is WotC doing to talk to the community? Whizbang pointed out they talk to people at cons (again a small minority). I am not sure how they capture what people what. I haven't seen a big online survey ala the Dancey era. I guess they have mail in surveys, letters to...

You act as if I am trying to troll or whip people into a frenzy. That's not my intent. Some people have some pretty strong opinions on if WotC should pay attention to the internet or not. I was curious as to why and wanted to generate some discussion. I don't think anything I posted would...

That being said the pole is 30% answering no. I think that is a rather large number. There have been some very vocal people who say WotC should ignore message board feedback saying that most of us are maniacal, crazy, people who should have no voice in the game. I find that thought...

Wish sounds like a great 30th level spell if you ask me. I think it's a cop out to just "wish" it away as a means to avoid difficult game design. I personally think it should be looked at as a challenge from the designers standpoint. That being said the arguments against it are a bit...

Ok they may not be in "direct" conflict if you take me literally, but there are conflicting attitudes regarding internet feedback. This is what I am trying to flesh out. I agree with the comparison to people at Cons being a minority, like people on the internet. My question is simply should...

So there are two opposing viewpoints I see coming up on the boards which seem to be in direct conflict with one another: Option 1. The internet message boards are a small fraction of the DnD players as a whole. As a result the wishes/complaints from this minority should be minimized and have...

I think it's lame they even discuss party roles. Doesn't that just hold on to the "old" way of thinking that you must have class X to have a balanced party. To me the idea of roles is going to take up worthless pages of text better used for real material. Also I think this system is...

Crappy airport wireless....double post

1. Too many wuxia fighter type abilities to mimic Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2. No class available that suits a good introductory role for new players ala a straight forward fighter. Start adding too many choices/per encounter abilities and a fighter could be too complex. At the same time...

Go Joe!

I always thought Dragonlance should have been the "real" DnD movie. If the timing had been well coordinated with the release of LotR, it may have been able to ride a few coattails. That being said I am not sure I like the combination of animated art with computer art. It brings back scary...

I apologize. You took personal issue with how I wrote my post and upon re-reading it I see how it can easily be inferred that I was attacking you. I was making more a generic statement. I just don't think releasing more crunch would cause people to not buy books. Especially when you're...

That's simply a result of announcing 4E. I don't see how revealing more content would effect anyone from buying 4E in the future, unless we discovered that it was a bad product. In that case it may spur the sales of remaining 3.5 books. Either way, I would assume WOTC doesn't immediately care...

The problem is why aren't asimars in with tieflings? I don't know why they didn't use planetouched. If drow are included in the PHB I'll be done. Too much elf love.

Someone explain this to me? Why is revealing too much information too early going to stifle my desire to buy 4E? The only scenario I can see this happening in, is if the product sucks and I happen to figure it out it sucks before I actually buy the books. That would hurt WOTC. DnD isn't like...

You mean like the assassin was featured online for 3.0 but later became a prestige class? I don't recall seeing a trucking convoy to Seattle with players carrying pitchforks and torches. When the books come out the type and form of criticism will change. They will be based on content and...
