    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    The insult leveled at you is the same insult that would be leveled at anyone who was being overcharged for a product. It's a human insult. However, if you choose to buy it, that doesn't make you stupid or sheep-like. It does not cast any aspersions on your intelligence, willfulness or...

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    WotC isn't a non-profit organization and I won't be handing out money to them so they can "get by" until 4th edition comes out. They'll earn their money by putting out products people want to buy at prices they will tolerate paying. The preview books will sell, but they won't sell well. As...

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    You're spot on target. It's a poorly thought out attempt at generating revenue during the dead zone between now and 4e. WotC is betting it all (well, not ALL, see below) on the MMORPG marketing horse: "Hey, people will buy a guide for World of Warcraft, I bet they'll buy a preview of fourth...

    D&D 4E Rant on the 4E "Presentation"

    I used to do the layout for a small newspaper. This happened... on more than a few occasions. :eek:

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    OK Scott, I'm game. Tell me why I would want to pay $20.00 plus tax for this book in my FLGS, or $13.57 on Amazon.com. The same goes for all the preview/advertisement books. Or, hypothetically, tell me why a potential customer's intelligence shouldn't be insulted at what they might perceive as...

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    Maybe WotC shouldn't be making products like this? Or, at the very least, not with a MSRP of $20.00? I've seen it before... but posts advocating piracy are against the site rules.

    I'd pay $5 for it. Maybe.

    D&D 4E Which Classic Module(s) Would You Like to See in 4E?

    I voted for all of them, and not in an attempt to be arbitrary. I'd honestly like to see any and all of these modules updated. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing the 2e and 3e modules updated, either.

    Which of the following early D&D adventures did you play in?

    When I played AD&D as a kid, we didn't have access to any AD&D modules! Or miniatures! Just the core books. So all of the AD&D adventures I've used have been since the launch of 3e. Against the Giants series: I ran a homemade conversion of this for third edition. Tomb of Horrors: I played...

    WotC_Dave: You will be able to make monsters...weaker...

    It sounds like a great idea... but if he's just now getting around to writing it, how much playtesting will it get? It sounds like it might be just as "dangerous" as the 3.5 way of doing it.

    How soon will you switch?

    Voted "I don't know if I will." I'll switch to 4e whenever one of my gaming groups wants me to run it.

    D&D 4E PURE SPECULATION: 4E and Dungeon Survival Guide

    As mentioned above, it sounds like a neat coffee table book. I'd put it out with my copy of 30 Years of Adventure if I find it half-off at a used bookstore.

    DMG to include a "starter town".

    This sounds fun. I really liked Saltmarsh in the DMG2.

    Other plastic minis compatible with D&D minis

    The World of Warcraft board game comes with a whole bunch of plastic miniatures that are close enough to scale with D&D minis when I eyeballed them.

    D&D 4E Does anyone agree with me about 4E?

    The first printing of CHAINMAIL is the only true game. All others are pale imitations.

    D&D 4E Does anyone agree with me about 4E?

    Let me take this opportunity to suggest A Different Game System. You can do everything you ever wanted to not do with 4e with ADGS. Also you can do everything you didn't not want to not do with ADGS. Why aren't you playing ADGS yet? Why do you hate it? WHY DO YOU HATE ME? Sincerely, Paid...
