    Anyone Trying For Never Split the Party?

    Varying laws on sweepstakes, contests, and lotteries make it very prohibitive to open these up to other countries. Heck, in some cases even state laws create exclusions. It would be a way cooler promo if it could be global but our hands get tied on these things. Sorry

    Was 4e design based around the suite of proposed D&Di tools? EDIT: found quote.

    Chaos Orb and some of those early cards are not in the MTGO system.

    I will say no. We made the game we thought people would want to play (and what we wanted to play) and would buy. I will also say I disagree with the premise that a game system would need to be nerfed for digital applications. One could design an extremely complex rules system that could be...

    Again reading so much more into it. A) We knew we were approaching the need for 4e. 3e was getting long in the tooth and we were approaching what appears to be the natural end of an edition at 10 years. We were 8 on the 3.x era and although we could have limped along for another couple of years...

    I think you are reading too much into this. Rules can support an online application and not be beholden to them. It's not like the design & development teams took a look at a particular rule and said "we can't design it that way, it will never work on the character builder". Yes we developed...

    Are we talking rules or business model? The OP asked about rules and my answer is no the rules were not designed to work with a computer. You seem to be talking more about the business model. Yes the 4e business model revolves pretty closely around D&Di. D&Di is part of the 4e Dungeons &...

    Was 4e design based around the suite of proposed D&Di tools? EDIT: found quote.

    The simple answer is no 4e was not designed to play easier on a computer. I think that the premise that computer play has design constraints is somewhat flawed to begin with. How has table top play handled flight, invisibility, teleport, line of sight, concealment, on-going fire, bloodied...

    Was 4e design based around the suite of proposed D&Di tools? EDIT: found quote.

    In early 2006 we were discussing 4e and some prototype designs were in being kicked around. At the same time were also discussing a desire to have electronic tools that were integrated with the D&D rules/system. Things like a character builder, game table, editorial, etc were part of the early...

    The answer to question pondered by the OP seems really simple. Ask yourself can you play D&D 4e with out D&D Insider? If you answer yes, then you have the answer. D&D Insider compliments 4e play and adds to it but is not integral to actually playing a 4e D&D game. D&D Insider is dependent on...

    DDM - where are they made?

    RPGs are made in the USA. Minis, Tiles, Dice, and RPG Starter are made in China but we don't disclose vendor information though.

    Necromancer has not responded yet. I suspect they are waiting until they have products out and available to buy
