[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 3873462, member: 5202"] You know, WotC seem to have painted themselves into a nest of rabid wolverines here. D&D fans are extremely polarized about the new edition and as more information comes out, the gaps only become wider. They need to work at unifying the vision of the gaming world. Clearly they have some good folks involved in the creation, but many people detested the keynote rollout that was provided. If WotC had been smart, they would have dropped a wad of cash towards Cupertino, California and picked up the most powerful RDF (Reality Distortion Field) known to man. I'm talking about Steve Jobs. Yes, WotC could have had Steve Jobs come out and profess how he's been a gamer for 30+ years etc etc, give him some decent slides and people to bring on to run a few demos and watch the entire audience cheer at extremely minor differences. WotC definitely missed an opportunity to unify their target audience and ensure that everyone would be wanting the new edition. Or maybe people at the keynote would have ben foaming at the mouth in joy and people watching the webcast at home would be yawning and wondering why they just spent the last 2 hours of their lives watching that. ;) **DISCLAIMER:All in good fun people. Not trying to get an Apple vs everyone war going. Just trying to lighten up the edition fever a bit. Besides occasional use in college, I haven't used an Apple product regularly since the Apple IIe my dad bought our family when I was 6 back in '82.** [/QUOTE]
