I think they're strategy is really to get people to buy both. I don't think they want anyone giving up the books for just a DDI subscription, at least that's not the impression I get from Scott Rouses's posts. Lately it almost seems like "please, please buy the hard copy books...", but I could...

Must have really small print runs. What was it like during 3rd edition? Did you guys have this much trouble getting books?

I have 2 groups going right now, one is 3:1 the other is 4:1. All the females are spouses, but all enjoy the game and get into it as much as the men.

I find it humorous. Criticism can be healthy, at least this thread isn't filled with vitriol. It's also an excellent way for WoTC to get some honest feedback.

Any word on this or the other pacts? Haven't seen anything in a while!

For me, art is part of the product. I don't want to see artwork I've already seen in a book I bought a few years ago. Not a huge deal, but art is important, its part of the total package. I know some people only want the rules and don't care about the art, but personally I like to see art that...

I used to be a collector of many things. I'd get into a habit of buying everything I could find when it came to something I liked. Then I realized how much money I was wasting and how much stuff ended up sitting on a shelf getting dusty or stored away in a box somewhere. I was a completionist...

Fantastic article. I think many would find this far more informative than the chapter in the DM's guide. This combinded with your Skill Challenge system shows some really top-end design work. Hear that WoTC? You should hire this guy as a freelancer.

Yeah, I think the randomizing aspect of D&D minis would work better if you could see two or three of the commons and uncommons you were getting, but leaving the "rare" figure hidden. I also hope, especially since the mini game isn't being produced anymore, that the distribution of minis begins...

Nice. Unfortunately it'll be hard to get a mini of that.

I prefer to visualize the concept as some Stars aren't actually stars at all, but portals to the Far Realm, and the entities these "stars" are named for are the true entities that give star pact warlocks their power. I also like the idea that some stars and star clusters might actually warp...

Which is why the D&D brand is always going to go through cycles of new editions and major revisions and never seem to make enough profit to the corporation that owns it. D&D needs to be a smaller endevour with fewer employees and a more modest release schedule, but unless WOTC spectacularly...

yeah, that TV ad was pretty useless. I saw it a couple of times and kept wondering...if you don't already know what D&D is, how is that going to get you to check out the game? Plus I only ever saw it on Sci Fi, during an 8 or 9 o'clock program. Not exactly branching out to capture "new" blood.

Yes. You can get odds on pretty much anything in Vegas. :) Ahhhhhhh Vegas. Can't wait to read that book.

Yeah, I have to say, the preview pics do make some of them look kind of crappy, but I'll admit that some of the minis I've had similar opinions of ended up looking a lot better in person. WoTC should consider doing multi-angle shots of some of the minis, as sometimes a full on shot doesn't...

I think it is fair to say that the solution to practically any problem should be: NAVY SEALS.

Interesting to note that the ability to play online and the ability to generate a portrait were the bottom-most results in both polls. So, I certainly wouldn't be expecting a Virtual Tabletop or Character Visualizer any time soon. And in all fairness, according to that poll, those are two...

Boycotts almost never work, but if enough people get tired and move on to other products/companies the net result will be the same. I'm not sold entirely on 4th ed yet. Have to wait on Arcane Power and Divine Power before I can make a reasonable decision (since I'm still waiting on options)...

I suppose they feel the pdf's for Dungeon and Dragon are safer for now since they're part of a subscription service. Although they're getting uploaded to file sharing sites just as frequently as the books.

I prefer the print copies to electronic any day, but sometimes a pdf sure is convenient, and for collecting out of print material its invaluable. Especially if you don't want to engage in bidding wars on ebay. However, even if you don't normally buy the pdf's, this type of decision/action by...
