    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    :) Yup multi-classing/dual-classing/level limits didn't make a lot of sense in AD&D on an individual basis. But due to the way the books were written, it explained their purpose when all together. I think 3E went the correct step in having ECL adjustments when they did away with those...

    He can. See rules on Dual Classing if he is Human. :D

    Players in a military order

    Have you asked why they are against it? Have you told them the thought process you have? That they are the last remanants of a defeated force, very likely one of the few that might have survived leading to a hunted existance.

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Such high hopes for this thread. How about we just sum up what things folks who are willing to spend money on would like to see? 1. MAC / Mulit-platform Support (DDI) - This is for your current edition. There are users out there that only use Apple Products. Imagine all those Iphone/MAC...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    The only argument I have against that Danny is that they had already ran into it with the Dragon Mag CD they had out, which resulted in the Kenzer deal I believe. (Correct me if I'm wrong, have had a few tonight so brain isn't firing all cylinders right now.) So they would already been well...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    That was my XP to you Danny. After all our disagreements on Copyrights you deserved the points. ;) That and I was busy catching up on 3 pages of new posts. But really I would love to see all the extra posts deleted off this thread and have only those that actually address the OP. What could...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Doesn't really help the OP. It's a question of what could bring you back to the fold, not what kicked you to the curb. Besides you know your group didn't have to accept the spellplague as written. I know many campaigns that simply ignored it and are still using the Gray Box for it's Realmslore.

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Redoing the cover doesn't change the content. Example Icewind Dale Trilogy and Cleric's Quintet (sp?) novels all got redone covers from there original release. Did it improve the content into something I wanted to buy more? Not really. All it did was make me pick it up thinking there was a...

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    I'd wager the majority who would shell out money for PDF's would go through the process. As the majority here are slightly more tech savy than the average computer user would be a safe bet.

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    I had PDF's in Adobe 5, I just imported them and resaved them into current releases. All is well. Long as you keep up your maintance it is not hard to keep your files forever. Yup that is a huge advantage of PDFs. While I prefer the dead trees for around the house, most of my planning comes...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Your right the brand has transcended itself. Some play Paizo D&D, some play Gygax D&D, etc, etc. Most of us who have been playing since the red box, can honestly say we have helped shape D&D to what it has become today. Everyone of us that every attended a Con, wrote into Dragon's Sage Advice...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Why wouldn't you want more customers for WotC? Honestly that doesn't make any kind of sense at all to me. I agree with you that you will lose people/gain people with every new edition, but if a company can minimize it's customer base lose during that switch why wouldn't that? The only split in...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    I'm probably somewhere in the middle of 'disenfranchised' and 'feeling 4E isn't the game for me'. Bring me back in the fold is fairly easy. Make or sell something I want. ;) PDF's, release of limited runs, new material. You ask so much. Really though if they did a limited run release of old...

    Tips On Being Evil

    What is evil, there is an age old question in itself. Evil is what the Victors say is Evil. Slavery as a whole in modern times, generally is considered an Evil act. Yet a century and a half ago, it was considered common practice. Sex with a 14yr old nowadays considered Evil, yet 300yrs ago it...

    Best party for BD&D dungeon crawling

    In Basic Race is a Class. :D If we are going RAW. (Level Limits and everything else) Fighter Cleric Magic-User Halfling Elf Dwarf With some decent Charisma to get some retainers. Of those I would play the Fighter or the Magic-User at any level. The Fighter is your Front Liner. The Elf and...

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    Yup its a business model that makes sense in this day and age. But as was stated, many here on EnWorld entered the RPG World during the dark days for CharGen's. Heck we foamed at the mouth when we were teased about it in 2E. :D But to the OP, I can say not having a DDI account has in no way...

    Are character sheets okay to post?

    Actually I posted earlier in another thread that I tested that theory here at work. Grabbed the Demo copy, the one that only lets the first 3 levels and the first books, of the character builder. Had my friend send me one of the character files for a much higher level character and I could view...

    Honestly the XP system really means nothing. Either you like a post or you don't.

    No more WotC Star Wars site

    No not really, as long as they stayed away from calling it the Force/Jedi/Sith mechnically they don't have to stray far at all. Light Sabers are now Laser Swords, etc. I think a clone (excuse the pun) of it in 4E would actually work fine. 4E's method of Daily/Encounter/At Will/Utility/etc...

    No more WotC Star Wars site

    The question is though will someone else pick up the license or will it flounder out there till someone takes a plunge on it. I actually would side with WotC on this one though. I'm quite sure the Star Wars Lic is expensive as safe passage for a Paladin through the Nine Hells. Would any of...
