Or possibly speaks to the alluded difficulty in killing PCs.

Which has me confused as that would seem to directly compete with selling print books of the same material. A disincentive to purchase expansion products.

Wow, I did not catch that on first read! I went from possibly considering to no way am I purchasing.

The answer is sort of. I think the view of DDI as being online version only is short sighted. There are a billion uses for it. 1. Online tabletop to allow people to play with old gaming groups or play with people all over the country. (Current model of use) 2. I could see puting a video...

Because taking calculated risks in business can bring big rewards. The DDI could bring a revolution to the game. Right now on this board there are people who don't play DnD anymore because the no longer have a group. I am one of them. I live in Seattle, perhaps ground zero for 4E, and I...

I don't know why I thought of this analogy, but it reminds me of recruiting Pele to your soccer team and then breaking both of his ankles ala the movie "Misery".

Well, since I can guarentee that I nor anyone in my group would ever buy Dungeon Tiles. Too specific of a product and not very adaptable. For example, what if a room is too small, too large, etc. You won't be cannibalizing me or my friends.....which is lost business. I would envision making...

If you check out todays news article there are some interesting tidbits on the virtual game table. I have sensationalized my title a bit but there are a few things caught me a completely off guard. 1. First, is this a marketable product or a service? To me it clearly seems to be a product...

So my question is from a marketing standpoint would it be good for WotC to release the DnDXP material to the public as a big downloadable file? That would allow those of us who didn't make it to sample the material in play. I think it would be an ingenious marketing ploy. Just wondering what...

No but it certainly circumvents a lot of obstacles that you could have in a dungeon for instance. My problem is that flying or transforming into something that can fly is a trope that has been present in a ton of fantasy literature. Then don't get me started on the definition of encounter...

It would really sadden me if the fighter was so pigeoned holed that he couldn't be an effective bowman. Not everyone wants to play Robinhood the woodsy archer. I want the fighting man who is generically good with fighting at whatever weapon I choose....but that is for another thread.

No you are forgetting something....To play with my buddies is going to cost 140 x5= $700 for the group. Thats a lot of sourcebooks, beer, pizza, minis, and dice, for the collective.

Because for guys like me who don't give a hoot about online Dragon or Dungeon, the money is a bit steep for on online gaming table alone. If I pay a WoW-like online monthly subscription fee I want something that looks good considering these are inanimate renderings.

I would hope so as well. My next question is why all the changes to stats? Did people really have trouble calculating negative modifiers? Changing attributes to only positive appears to be a subtle change but it would have wide impacts on everything. The possibility of power crrep is...

While I agree with you somewhat that everything is relevant. Under a no penalty system this build becomes playable: Idiot Fighter Str 18 Dex 18 Con 18 Wis 7 Int 7 Chr 7 Say I am a bumbling, strong fighter. With no negative penalties, I play essentially the same as this fighter: Average...

I don't have races and class so someone should clarify this for discussion but I took this of Enworld 4E news page: "From Wizards Presents: Races & Classes: Ability score adjustments have a net positive benefit (i.e. not of the type -2 / +2). "

Didn't they announce that there would be no negative modifiers to attributes? I seem to recall that somewhere. If that is the case then can any stat be a dump stat? Ok so my character has an intelligence of 5. If I have a crappy GM who ignores roleplaying, then it sounds like I won't care if...

Xath, I appreciate you keeping the inflammatory comments to a minimum but I don't know why your simple phrase of "blanket derogatory statements" made me think of things like, "You're a bad blanket....your not even soft.....that color is atrocious...I hope you get a hole you moth ridden tattered...

I wasn't sure what you meant by screw the subdual damage.....if that was in support of the spiked chain or in support of the whip (and agianst its ridiculous penalities) I went back to re-read the posts and realized your a spiked chain supportor. Although I am not a spike chain hater (I love...

Are you planning on switching to 4E? I would be curious if you showed equivalent stats for similar levels in 4E. Obviously the "speeding up" of gameplay is meant to be in real world time which it sounds like you didn't keep track of. I can't blame you....it would be a bit tedious. However...
