[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4675164, member: 48965"] Yet... You know I could [B]almost[/B] get behind this... if WotC hadn't first bumbled the DDI which was supposed to be released at the same time as 4e... then produced, by most accounts a piss poor character sheet with misleading advertisement for sale. I actually can even relate to a site like Ema's where money is being charged being taken down... but this guy, Ryan, probably helped more than hindered anything with 4e up to this point. IMO this is more a case of allowing something to be created because you messed up and you need some time to get your act together and then crushing it now that you're finally doing something. I guess I especially feel this because it was a great tool that I actually found and used the second time my group tried 4e...WotC sure wasn't offering us anything to use at the time (not even PDF files of power cards) and I don't think there's any way we would have played 4e without some easier way (than using the books) to reference powers. I mean what use are the powers without the rulebooks anyway. No... WotC saw a popular (almost necessary) accessory and is trying to commercialize it, I have no problem with this but honestly let the quality of your product get me to buy it... not your destruction of potentially useful sites. Honestly this makes me wonder how well WotC's products and DDI are doing... you'd think if they were doing extraordinary they wouldn't be sweating little things like this. But that's neither here nor there and admittedly I could be totally off base with that. I also wonder what's next to be outlawed, character sheets? There are still tons of sites with power cards are they all going to be shut down as well and all their content (not just the PC's) lost? Guess I better start downloading just in case I do want to play 4e. [/QUOTE]
