(Emphasis mine) That describes every single bit of advertising that has ever been done.

This whole line of discussion about what WotC said or didn't say...Can we just drop it?? It has been hashed and rehashed so many times that the battle lines are not just drawn in the sand, they have been fortified with steel-reinforced cement, concertina wire and machine gun emplacements.

As a science, game design still involves a whole lot of black magic incantations, reading of tea leaves and prayers to the four winds.

Awesome discussion. Thanks for keeping it civil. Definitely drawing the attention of this thread to WotC.

So what does that say about 3.5, given that they were working on it pretty much before the books for 3E hit the stores?

So, just to make sure I understand you Kynn. You are claiming that this is a PR nightmare for WotC because random people on the internet are jumping to conclusions based on little or no information. That is what the internet does! I think rather that this is a PR win for WotC. I have read a...

So let me get this straight: People are whining that Dave said that after the fight with the stirges, in which the paladin got damaged, he said (and I am paraphrasing, as I wasn't there and don't know anybody who played in that game) "OK, the stirges also did some other damage, and it will...

Bored at work, so thought I would jump in as well. (Note, also not a moderator.) It is OK to say "I hate X", but don't expect a whole lot of responses to that. Also, you need to be careful of the thread in which you drop that little bomb. If you drop "I hate d12s" in a thread devoted to...

I have read (from a WotC staffer) a statement that WotC "plans" (and plans is the operative word) on continuing to support DDI. Now, how long that plan exists after the next edition is released is another question.

Awesome. I will definitely be including this in my weekly report to WotC. Could you PM me with how you want it attributed or if there are any comments you would like added that you didn't feel comfortable posting on your blog? Thanks

OK, quick update on what I know now that my work for the day is finished. I know that Trevor pays close attention to the ENWorld forums. I also pay attention to these forums well. Very often, the discussion on these forums, when it doesn't sink into a passive-aggressive flamewar, is at an...

I will poke WotC to find out. I am working now, but will respond in more detail later on.

My guess is that each character sheet had something uniquely identifiable about it, probably in layout, and that they also took the name of who played what character, so that they could easily determine who leaked what if they had to.

(Note, not at DDXP) I know from reading chattyDMs twitter feed this morning that he really, really enjoyed it. Also, chatting with a friend who is there, he also really enjoyed it (he was playing in a mini- and map-less game). In addition, E (from geeksdreamgirl.com) wrote up her impressions...

I know that a bunch of the playtest games at DDXP yesterday were run mapless/miniless. (Note, I am not at DDXP.)

I never made any attempt to claim otherwise. I am very aware of my bias and leaning towards optimism and "glass-half-fullness" point of view towards things. I still don't see any indications that there was "shoddy reporting". The reviewer brings up some negative points and gives, in my mind, a...

Oh yeah, for those who were interested in info about different editions of D&D, here is one of the menus you get when you are creating a table:

Or is it one person going into the article with a pre-determined point of view and finding things in there that support their point of view, whether or not they actually exist in the article or not? When reading things and interpreting them, one must always be aware of our own biases and...
