[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3958844, member: 158"] So far, to me it looks like they're right on track with the tidbits and releases for previews: Enough so that it should be irrelevant if Dungeon and Dragon are used for this purpose. As to their main purpose, getting people excited enough to pay for them when they're not free any more, I don't think they done it, but I don't think they COULD do it, because of the fundamental problem: Those who have made up their minds NOT to take an electronic offering, won't be swayed no matter what. Those who like the idea, are probably going to buy it. When 4E finally gets rolling, and all those 4E modules, articles, and such they're going to be storing up in advance, that's when we'll see it. Let's be honest in regards to previews: What is e-Dungeon and e-Dragon going to give us that we haven't already seen before? We already know the quality of writers they have; we already know the track record of Chris Thomasson (sp?) and his fellow staffers; They aren't suddenly going to start sucking wind nor becoming excellent when writing for the monitor instead of the page. They're going to do their best, they'll do the quality of work they've always done, and those who liked it as much as Erik's and James' work are going to like it, and those who don't think they did as well as Erik and James are going to dislike it. It's all down to who's at the helm, not what shape the hull is. [/QUOTE]
