Adventures. And that's pretty much all.

I disagree with your assertion. I don't believe that things have turned out unfair, nor do I believe that the general perception is that they did. A few vocal detractors do not indicate that people, in general, think the process is either flawed or unfair. That some of those detractors have a...

Are you posting this before reading the rest of the posts in this thread?

Playing devil's advocate myself: they were private conversations, so they're none of your business? :eek:

For my part, I never picked up the 3.5 version, as I had too many adventure paths stacked up (still do). That said, I would be interested in picking up the 4e version because I have nothing there, and this might be an option I would use to run it. It would be an added bonus if I could pretty...

Apparently Meg doesn't understand that the process isn't objective: it's subjective. Their job is to nominate what they like. Her not agreeing with them doesn't make their choices wrong.

SenseiMike, I understand where you're coming from, and sympathize with most of it, but I'm puzzled by what you meant by that. Could you explain?

Wow. I can't believe you people. The author probably just didn't get it in on time, or the art was delayed, or one of a million other reasonable explanations. They don't have to e-mail you personally to explain every business decision. I really am disgusted at the unwarranted and unhealthy...

Don't forget the Orc!! ;)

No, of course not. It's my opinion that they should have hired the right people to develop the site so it could have been released on schedule. Remember: the free period was supposed to be over at the launch of 4e. Even with their shaky offering up to that point, people would have signed on in...

Quite possibly, I'm not really familiar with that arena. I would expect computer programers to cost more than game designers or sculptors, but I don't really have a solid basis to judge. More than the lost production costs, I think the real problem is the potential revenue that's slipping...

It's just my opinion. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think that 1) failing to launch a D&D product that was supposed to bring in significant revenue, and 2) continuing development costs to get that project off the ground, and 3) delaying that product launch past the optimal window...

I'm glad you spelled that out, because that's not what I thought you meant at all. Generally when people write a sentence like that it implies that it's an either/or situation. I agree with your meta point: a good outline will not make a good adventure path, but I don't think anyone's really...

You make more sense than I do. Perhaps Jack Colby's right about it being a marketing angle. Would you really put this past them? Perhaps I'm just too jaded, but given the vibe I get off of WotC these days this is just the sort of thing I can see them doing. I actually expect it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. What they really don't want to spoil is the design direction of future products. Also, even though it makes logical sense that they'd be including material from upcoming books, I wouldn't doubt that they anticipate an outraged cry from people "being...

Oh, you're surely not going to leave it at that, are you? B-)

We actually picked it up the day before. PKB had been looking forward to grabbing it for some time, but I wasn't all that excited....then.

I checked after I posted, and I have the d20 Modern version. I'll have to check out the True20 one.

Was there a Blood and Fists book that wasn't True20? I'm pretty sure I picked it up along the way in hopes of helping convert my KaraTur game to 3e. That convertsion is actually what I'm using True20 for. I didn't realize it was True20 at the time if that's what it is.
