And that is precisely the problem. WotC doesn't want it to be an MMO, and they aren't looking at it like one. However... The average consumer is going to look at this like an MMO, because that is what they know. And pound for pound, DDI is going to fall far short of what an MMO is offering...

Ezra’s wing lay broken, and the raven’s shoulder was hopelessly shattered. Galador gently stroked the bird, wondering how he could help his friend. Those injuries would not properly heal. Hail fell only inches away from Galador, barely blocked by the ruined entryway he huddled beneath. The...

On the contrary, I not only think the Dungeon content is useful, I feel it is necessary. DDI is much like an MMO (they say it isn't, but that doesn't change that it is a virtual, online, multiplayer game). What MMO have you ever subscribed to that didn't come with plot as part of the...

I also think that Dungeon and Dragon each need their own full websites, seperate from the Wizards website. Otherwise: 1.) the non-subscription part of the website will never get updated or 2.) some of the articles are free to non-subscribers, which will basically leech off and diminish the...

I highly disagree. And I can break it down too. The magazine subscriptions were giving me articles that I paid for, except now they are virtual only, available on the website. But wait, I was getting articles for free on the website all the time already. Not only is this not an ADD in value...

This is the part that baffles me. I'm going to be paying for a monthly subscription. If the 3d models aren't built into the system, then what am I paying for? [rant] If I pay for an MMO, there is character creation, sure, but there are also worlds and creatures as well. With DDI it looks like...

This is how I imagine it will be.

Storm-Peace “Another hit like that will break yer damn fingers, elf,” said Thelkur. A cold wind was blowing in from the north, but he tried to ignore that far off danger and focus on the present. He swung his hammer hard into the skinny rapier of his opponent, nearly tearing it free. “Get...

This is an adaptation of the module “A Dark and Stormy Knight” by Owen C.K. Stephens. The characters are still original creations, but the plot and setting are not. For any of you not familiar with the module, it is only 8 pages long, so this will be a short story. It should only take a few...

It's a shot in the dark but... Nesme. It's popular from the R.A. Salvatore fiction, it was in the Demon Stone video game, and Salvatore went out of his way to raise it from the ashes after utterly destroying it in a previous book. Also, Nesme has always been a POL location. On the edge of the...

This actually brings up an interesting question. They have stated that the 4e MM will have over 300 creatures. Undoubtedly they are counting each instance of a certain race/creature into that 300 number. So if we are getting 3 kinds of drow, 2 types of ogres, 4 types of troglodytes, etc... those...

Happens all the time. Often times when they want a detail changed, they just comission a new artist to whip up a whole new piece of art. Case in point... another artist painted a very similar cover for Grand History, but they replaced it with Todd Lockwood's version. Most likely they didn't...

So, they posted this still for the new Dragonlance DVD movie...

lol. I didn't notice that, but you're right! :lol:

I assume that Rich Baker was being facetious, but he actually mentioned this maneuver in the Ask the Designers thread. “Two Swords High Decapitating Strike!" LOL!!!! http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=702942&page=53

Emphasis mine. I find this to be a curious statement. We have no idea how the changes have been implimented because we've not seen the setting yet... In fact, I'll go one step further. The book is still being written, so the implimentation hasn't even been done.

I'm not sure what everyone is freaking out about. This cover is a piece of art that is several years old. Obviously it isn't going to be the new FR cover. That art was used for the Drizzt mini waaay back. Here, I'm going to post the mini art, the new art, and then I overlayed the two of them...

Many "new gamers" are introduced to the realms via the Drizzt novels and other such books. These folks know of the realms, but have never played it. FR is Wizards' best known property outside the PnP community. It is in their best interest to push it. These new gamers have also been exposed to...

It's quite silly to assume that everyone is on one extreme or the other. The very idea that everyone who doesn't play realms hates it with a passion is obsurd. I know lots of players who don't run realms games because it just becomes too complicated sometimes. Or they feel like they have to...
