You may live.""Thank you, Darth Gaminus."--END RECORDING--CLASSIFIED MEMOWotC # 44504935346RE: 3.5 Edition Dungeons and Dragons GameCC: Hasbro IncCCC: Lord Darth GaminusFrom: Marketing and BlastersAs per Lord Gaminus' order, we have begun examining websites to find out what parts of the 3E game are the favorite, and what is used the most, and our R&D Gibbons are currently figuring out how to change it.Here is a list of suggestions: Change BAB back to THAC0Reverse the AC ProgressionRemove all the picturesInclude deliberate errors to allow arguements on websites.Eliminate Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Cooke and replace them with clones that are loyal to us.Include Prestige Classes that do not follow formulaes.Include Spells whose effects are gibberish.Print it on paper infested with ear-mites.END MEMOINTERNAL MEMOFrom: Darth GaminusTo: R&DCC: All Project Gameruiner PersonellYOU FOOLS! REPORT TO THE TERMINATION CHAMBERS AT ONCE!THEY ARE ON TO US! THEY KNOW OUR CORPORATION IS OUT TO MAKE MONEY, AND MONTE COOK HIMSELF IS LEADING THE REBELLION FORCES!INITIATE SELF DESTRUCT! DESTROY ALL DOCUMENTATION!--END MEMO--Honestly guys, I know it's your favorite hobby, and a lot of you make money off of this, but it's not like they suddenly outlawed religion or something.The sun will still rise tommorrow. My wife will still love me.They a company, and companies make money.Plus, at least they are TRYING to make good changes, they may not be doing it very well, but at least they are trying.Look at the Windows OS...You think Micro$oft cares about whether or not your computer bursts into flame?No.Wizards at least has competition, so has to remain competitive.They didn't do this to screw over 3rd party publishers, or because they felt that 3rd party publishers were taking away *thier* money, or just to sell books.Yes, the money is part of it, but look at all the bitching about 3.0 on these boards. Just these boards.See, if it was pure profit, they would have come out with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition, printed that AND D&D 3.0.They'd release thier new campaign setting, instead of sitting on it and developing it slowly and carefully.It's about both community feedback, AND money.It's not a big conspiracy. It's not The Man out to get you.It's just change.Man, I haven't seen panic like this since Proudy dropped a live grenade inside the Hummer...</blockquote>
